Stop in for a cup of coffee

The only large cost would be round trip airfare. I told you before you could stay at my place. Got plenty of room. Everything else is pretty cheap here. Not sure how much airfare is round trip right now.
Thank Mitch never been out of the U.S and Canada and would like some day to venture off a bit further

Got the transmission dropped off today. Sat with Stan as he tore it down. 1st to 2nd valve governor plug was stuck. There was some faint scoring on the plug and the shift valve was sticking as well.
He's going to rebuild the valve body and hone the shift valve area. No damage to the new clutch packs or the pump. Double checked the torque converter snout length and slot depth. It was all good. Should have it back by Friday or so.

Nice!!
 
WTF are You doing up at 2:30 a.m.??
Haven’t even been to sleep yet. Been in bed since 10, dozed off, but woke up with severe cramps again around 1130. Been up since.

Trying to decide if I wanna call in to work today, 2 hr drive each way plus 8 hours. Not sure I’ll have any steam by noon
 
Morning!
-34 again. Weather app is off, by a lot. Couldnt sleep any more. Hip is aggrivating me. Better when im sitting up. First thing is drill some holes in the stake pockets so i can lift the box from the top instead of the sides.
 
Drove over to Mamams house tonight. Still a lot of construction going on here. At least I know where a lot of my money is going. As I mentioned before they did raise the road here and widen it slightly. Previously you could only get motorcycles and small carts down this road. I know it still looks small but it's much wider than it was. We usually park the car about 500 yards away on the bigger road. But she insisted that I drive the car over here on the new road and park it. Very tight. About 6 tries backing up and pulling up and angling to get it in here. Looks like when I go to leave it's going to be about the same issue. Lol. Good news is where you see them working on the steel in that one picture there's a flat concrete pad there that will be for parking in the future. Should be a little easier. Always an adventure here.

And...... Apparently the brothers caught a lot of shrimp today. And we bought and brought some crabs over. This will be dinner here, with plenty of beer of course.

Yep Mitch, thats a cool picture, and I hope you are getting enough protein, loosing weight bud, not at cack head skinny but nearing that :lol: , all bs aside, you do look healthy
 
Moved my distribution block yesterday , like to have never broke loose the lines, was a pain laying on my back.. I had to stop after that, it's to close to my headers
 
Thinking that I will move it from the inside drivers side frame rail to the outside of the original location
 
Morning movers and shakers. No grandbrat duty this morning so tried to sleep in a little later...30 minutes whoo hoo...:lol:

I was a heretic with the GM master cylinder... with the distribution integrated/mounted to the MC itself... :rolleyes:. Headers on the slant make the drivers side a little crowded
