I've been working on the outside of house this past summer, and the yard, etc. To the point that the my small shop(450ish sqft) kinda got neglected. So this week, I've been cleaning it out in prep for winter projects. Well today I found the floor! And hiding under the debris I found a couple of core engines; a smog-teener and a smoggier 360. I guess next week I'll have to build a couple of dollies so I can move them around.
I found out why that 360 was a bit of a dog; the flapper thingy in the passenger exhaust manifold is stuck closed. That engine came out of a 77 Dodge van, that got retired a couple of decades ago. A guy wanted the trans out of it so I said sure you can have the whole van,if you bring me the engine back. And the deal was done. When the engine showed up I bagged it and over time forgot about it. The only reason I wanted it was for in case my forays to 7200rpm in the FormulaS, finally blew something up. Well, since that hasn't happened yet,I should probably let this one go.
The teener I can't even remember what I took it out of. Maybe a 75 Dart IDK.
In any case it's nice to be able to walk in there again.And it's so warm. And bright. After I get these two engines rolling, I can start something. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm,maybe I should get a trundle-crane...........I have a floor now.
 
Yep, I have to do a bulk cleaning in all my garages everytime I finish a big project. Its much more enjoyable to work when you have room and everything is organized.
 
It is amazing how fast the floor fills up... almost as fast as any flat surface in the shop does.
I clean it off and before I can blink it is full again of crap.
Need to "thin the herd" I guess.
 
My problem is I cannot find parts when I know I have them.
I have yet to find the stock gas cap I got just for my duster when it was painted.
It grew legs somehow, or is in one of my other buildings.
 
Oh thank heavens I thought you fell down and busted something up.

Remove the flapper, point at it and repeat these words....

“YOUR FIRED!”

I got some saw horses and a solid wood door and put it in the middle of my shop because I couldn't find a flat surface and now it filled up, I guess it's time to clean.
 
yep, one of the first things I check is if that "flap" is frozen shut. Had that happen more than once.
 
Never trust a man with an operating room clean workshop, there is something dirty in his life he's ashamed of and he's trying to hide it!
 
My family thinks a garage is to store stuff. What used to hold three cars now only holds two. Crap accumulates.
 
Well thankfully, she wasn't the one I married!

Yeah so, I've been thinking of going into my bright warm shop today and just thinking. I think I'll drag my easy-chair recliner into it and have a nap. Maybe I'll dream about my younger years when chitmattered. Maybe I'll turn the lights down low, pass out, and battle me some demons; altho since the last time I sent them packing, they haven't been back nomo'.
To all you Believers out there, I hope you have discovered your God-ordained rights, and remember this; when Moses went up into the mountains to be with his ancestors, he was 130 years old....... and there was no feebleness in him. How long ago was that exactly? In God-time about 3.5 days ago.
I get that we maybe can't all be a Moses, but the promises were to all the Believers, not exclusive to Moses.
I know!..... in my chair, I'm gonna go contemplate the promises of God. Com'on guys, you don't have to be feeble, nor sick, nor afflicted, nor deaf-dumb-or blind. You just have to follow the plan.The plan is for every Believer.
And if you ain't a believer, why is that? The bus just arrived at your stop. Get on board today.
John 1:12 | View whole chapter | See verse in context
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

BTW
It has been said, that no one knows where Moses was buried. His grave has never been found. Don't be confused, In Joshua 1:2, God says Moses is dead.

This reminds me of when I walked in to an older gearhead acquaintance's garage in the mid 70's. It was packed to the rafters and you had to pick your way around everything. I decided that if I ever got a good garage, it would never get that way...well, guess what mine looks like now! LOL

" I wanna be just like him ! "
Women kept me from accomplishing my goals.....lol

Wife built me a two-car garage, now we have three classic Mopars and nowhere to work (except when I put the tail gate down on my Dodge Dakota).

Sorry, but that "plan" makes absolutely no sense to me.

"And if you ain't a believer, why is that? The bus just arrived at your stop. Get on board today."

Nope, sorry, I'm an atheist.

If you're not for God, then you're against him,
but worse is if you're not in covenant relationship in this life. Because you or your loved ones can be attacked by evil forces, bringing sickness and disease. I say could, cuz a lot of the time satan doesn't care about atheists, cuz to him they are no threat whatsoever, not believing in either camp.
But for us Believers, the spiritual battle against evil is a constant thing. Unfortunately Christians have mostly fallen asleep, and do not know about the armor, nor their spiritual power over demons that they are supposed to have over them.... so satan is well able to trample over them. Futhermore, God Himself has stated hundreds of years ago, that He has the right to curse those that hate Him to the third and fourth generation. So if you had a great grandfather, a grandfather, or your father; who hated God, then You may be under that curse. If you read your Bible you might already know that. So, under such a curse, satan is allowed to come into your life and pretty much do anything to you that he feels like, including to your family. So if your wife is gobbling drugs for whatever reason, or your children were born somehow not "normal", that could be a part of the curse. Cuz the attack is actually on you, to prevent you from returning to God, because you the husband and father are commanded to be the Spiritual leader of the family. It is thru you, teamed up with Jesus, that healing comes to your family. But in order to access that healing power, one of two things has to happen; 1) you have to get Jesus to come and live with you. or 2) you have to take your "not normal" loved ones to a spiritual healer who already has Jesus living inside him.
So IMO, to be an atheist is to ignore the well-being of your loved ones, by shirking your duty as spiritual leader of your clan.
Also, if it was your father who hated God, then the curse can extend to your grandchildren. But if it was/is you, then the fourth generation would be your great-grandchildren. This is a scary thought because God will hold YOU accountable for teaching them error. This may not mean anything to you, being an atheist and all, but God says before you will be destroyed in the Lake of Fire, you will have to suffer in your body for your sins. So in other words you will beg for to be consumed in that Fire.
Again as an atheist you might not care,today. But on Judgement Day you will care very much. There is only so much time allotted to your life and only so much time allotted until Jesus returns. If you die an atheist, or live to see Jesus and are still an atheist, your time is up. It's judgement time. No more will anyone preach to you. No more will God cry for your soul. No more will you be membered. This day I have fulfilled my obligation to try to reach you. Your blood will not be on my hands, nor the blood of your descendants,for that blood is now on your hands.
"Only a fool has said in his heart; there is no God."
And the saddest thing of all is that as a Believer, you would have opportunity to send treasures ahead of yourself to be given to Jesus in the NewKingdom. You don't have to settle for being just a footstool in heaven. You can aspire to hear the words of God; "well done you good and faithful servant."
And all you gotta do is change your mind.
