Back on the road (Again)

After three weeks and a few delays due to parts availability, I have my 84 back on the road! Those ARP studs are so nice compared to the head bolts! My temp now stays in the middle range on the gauge and my oil is staying in the engine now! Thanks for answering the few questions that I had and just for being here in the first place. This place rocks and without it this job would have sucked alot more. So beers all around!

Can I have a large coffee?
I don't do beer.

PS, my coffee cup is a 128 oz. Brew Keg so don't tease me with one of those 20 styrofoam cups.

I don't drink beer or coffee. Dave probably helped a thousand times more anyway so give him my coffee.
At his age he probably needs the kick-in-the-butt in the morning anyway.

No coffee no beer we won't ask what else you can't handle.

Sometimes when I log-off of here I cry myself to sleep because of how mean you are to me.

Huh, no beer or coffee for me either. I figured I was the only one.

I prefer tap water and fresh fruits, but I'm wierd that way.

Congrats, Wookie35. Always nice to hear it fire up for that first time after seeing the soul of your truck all apart in your hands. Nice to feel whole again.

I like COLD,COLD,COLD water; ice tea and Coke. Rum is OK in Coke if it's about 1 oz. rum and 12 oz. Coke.

I could order a rum-and-coke at a restaurant or hotel and about 5 more straight Cokes and mix drinks for myself all night.

I knew that was going to your answer dodge just because of the part of the country you are in I have always thought it funny the way food and drinks are a regional thing.

Right, I signed off here at 1:30 AM this morning, up at 5:30 AM and out the door at 6 AM to go to work.

How many days in a row can you go on 4 hours a night?

I try to get 5 hours at least one night a month, but it usually don't happen.

I am an Aries, to much to do to sleep, I will get plenty of rest when I am dead.

Until not too many years ago you could not get sweet tea anywhere of about abilene tx. And there are still a lot of places out west that says we have sugar you can make it sweet they just don't get it.
Another thing I get out west is you want cranberry tea or orange tea or other weird concoctions thet have nothing to do with sweet tea.
