You know we will. I'm gonna try to get after it again this weekend and pull the trans back out and fix that leak. I haven't got a lot done this week. My wife has been staying at her parents since Thanksgiving morning. Neither of them are doing real good right now. They are 82 and 86 years old. I been doing a lot of running back and forth 30 miles from my place to theirs. I'm trying to talk them into moving in with us, but you know how that's going. We are gonna take care of them no matter what, but it sure would be a lot easier if they lived here with us.

They are all done and painted, but it is easier to get to the down pipe without the cold side and Y in there, and I still need to change my power steering pump, so the hot side needs to stay out until I get that done. I loaned out my pulley puller and installer tools and never got them back, so I had to buy another one. Just got it today.

Joey, you keep talking like this and we're all gonna get the idea you're some kind of genius! Truer words have never been spoken, in all accounts.
