i got a surprise Christmas present today.
it was sunny, and 50º, so i was finally able to get the fuel pump put into the 2000 after it sitting in the driveway for 3 weeks in the pouring rain.
it turned over 2 whole times before firing up.

Be careful with the "big name" PC cases though. Some of them are proprietary and the standard MoBo's won't fit. Compaq & HP were notorious for that, but I don't know if Dell uses standard ATX cases or not. That's the ONLY gotcha. The good news is that you can get a standard case for something like $40, and maybe another $40 for a power supply if it's not standard either.

Merry Christmas again y'all. I finally got caught up with this damn thread. It more or less took me all day, but I was gone for a few hours and doing errands around the house.
Yeah I got put in the slammer for 24 hours myself yesterday.
Cris, I eat quite a few of those myself. I get mine with a little extra sauce and jalapeño peppers
You are certifiable. Maybe Troy can get you into a mental institution where they can offer some help for your headaches too.
That's what you Canucks consider Christmas dinner? Although the further I read I did notice you were suffering because of laziness or stupidity or a little of both. Enjoy either way.
With as bad as I've been feeling for the past couple of months several friends have suggested I knock off this drinking all of the pop and fruit juice I've been drinking since I quit the case a day of beer almost 6 months ago. I have probably been drinking an equal amount of pop or juice and feel like chit. So today I started on coffee first thing in the morning, but from then on just filtered tap water. I probably drank my first glass of water today in 25 or 30 years. What do y'all think of this idea?

Drink the water, Mark. Lack of water will kill people...never hear that about sodas! I had my 1st soda 2 days ago in almost 2 years...it was the Sprite Zero so its not even a soda in my book! Fruit juice is basically pure sugar, of course its "natural sugars"...Id stick to the water!

Mark, definatly try lots of water. Its hard sometimes to get into it if ya dont like water, or are used to drinking nothing but other stuff.
If you can switch to mainly water, you will feel like a different man.
As for juices, if ya wanna drink em and not get the sugar, ya gotta stick to the unsweetend stuff!

Thank you for the encouragement Tristan. Yeah I will stick with it for awhile, probably a long while. I think all of these meds I am on are hard on my kidney's so the water should be a big help there. The last time I drove down to Jody and Dianes (less than 500 miles round trip) I drank lots of pop the entire trip, just about the very first thing I did after pulling in the driveway and getting out of the truck I puked up a good portion of that pop. DUH!! You'd think I would have heard a few bells ring right then.
Well I thought I could do it without stopping, drinking, eating, or anything! Boy was I wrong!
The trick to mine was water...if I didnt drinkat least 4 bottles of water during the time Im in the truck I would get home with the biggest headache ever! Its funny how the stuff makes everything work better! I dont buy bottled water though. I had the refillable bottles and just use tap water. Most of the major brands are filtered tap water anyways!

The Citrus-X ones are AWESOME!! The ones we had over there were 8 oz. cans, like a cup of coffee. So I drank three of 'em....

1. Too much water CAN kill you.... but it's REALLY hard to get there.
2. Average human body holds 8 quarts of water. Being "low" just 1 quart reduces overall work you can do by about 50%!
3. You don't start feeling thirsty until you're 5 quarts "low"...
4. Your body can process (typically) a maximum of 8oz. of water every 20 minutes. So, chugging 32oz. just means you'll pee more
So, "drink up me hearty's, yo ho, yo HO!" LOL
