Is that you Santa???

I am stoned on paint fumes, there are engine parts everywhere. Correction, there are truck parts everywhere.

I just found a piece of paper with big text on the front "Read this first".....I'm afraid to open it. Must be trash...Can't possibly be related to any of these custom parts for my project motor...

This place is a mess. I can't feel my teeth.

Evenr seen brake cleaner come in contact with a lot of peroleum product....neato!

why was I here? Oh yeah.

feel free to post or repost your BKMs for a non-leaking FE.

"Read this first"...........before disposing of trash...........LOL!!!!
How's that Leslie Neilson saying go........."Nothing here to see, walk away, nothing to see here........" LOL!!!

Glad to hear you're making progress.........but will you remember what you did in the morning??? "Where is that rachet extension??".....as you look towards the oil pan of that freshly assembled motor....LOL!

The ONLY non leaking FE is one that is NOT assembled yet

Hope you didn't use that inch pound torque wrench while all fogged up! It makes for a real loose engine.

True story:
One of my brother's buddies was a painter, sprayed my brother's Jeep. When the commotion ended, we all went out to see the two of them with BEER in hand. After a comment from my Mom, the painter looked her dead in the eye and said: "It's the only thing that kills the buzz from the paint fumes!" Must be true...

Enjoy that diuretic Gregg!

Greg's just taking some "barley therapy", doctors orders. Good progress deserves some suds time to time, just don't complete a motor with "extra" parts on the workbench.

When you start to get a lazy eye, a drooling problem and sound like Homer Simpson when you talk, it's time to switch to lite beer!

Don't kid yourself. lite Beer often has as mucch COOH or more than regulare beeras.

Ironically, I was not intoxicated when I started this thread. I am however, on my my way to happy-land now :-)


On a sad note: there has been no progress on the old truck. I managed to crash both my home and shop computers this week......Don't ask me how, I'm just lucky I guess. Anyway, in typical greg fashion. I fixed it by replacing both PCs....My new home PC is Da Bomb (maybe that's not the best verabge given recent events). Oh well, you get the point.

Greg

Talking

I totally enjoy when UPS or FedEx are making stops at my house! Love getting those goodies for my truck...

I am on a first name basis with the UPS guy...very nice...but somehow always in a RUSH.

Have FUN!
