Unfortunately I don't think I will be able to make it to the hill climb's. I am on-call next weekend, and my aunt is coming into town. I'm not too happy about it, but what are you gonna do.

dave- if it were tig weldable, it probably would not have rusted through. there is paper thin rust and epoxy holding the oil in for now. the epoxy is a very common "bandage" until there is time (or money) to pull the engine and fix it correctly. prevention is key!
brendon- nice toy. your driveway, or customers?
josiah- the truck looks 110% better, it actually looks like a 4x4 should.
i was going to head over to petes tonight and help out with some turbo swap action but i got suckered into working more. WTF?

Brendon, I think it was yesterday that the railroad had a vibrating machine to settle the ballast around the cement ties working the tracks across from work here.
Was thinking of you as it made its way down the tracks.

Aaron, back at the nuclear plant when the seawater pipes eroded and sprung a leek the mechanics would first beat in the thin metal until the hammer encountered sufficient resistance and then they would weld a patch along that perimeter.
Good evening Roger.
