Oh man, that was a stressful time I bet, believe it or not, but true story, my little brother and I was changing out intakes on his 73 Rally Challenger, I was showing him and helped pull the stock steal intake for an aluminum LD intake, I laid a dish towel in the lifter and head runner area to clean/ prep for the new intake, i stood up to give my back a brake, open a beer and talk with his friend, went back to the front of the car and brother had laid the intake in place, as he put all the bolts in by hand And just started with a ratchet I had a bad feeling, scrambled looking around the car, and could not find the dish towel anywhere! I said hold on Danny!! Where is the rag we used to protect the valley area, we looked together, even went in his apartment looking........ nothing!! Sure enough, unbolted the intake and lifting it slowly and seen it under the intakeOnly issues I recall when I put the Air Gap on Charlie the Swinger were the linkages for throttle and kickdown. Almost forgot the change in hood clearance. I had all the manifold bolts in but 1. "
did I drop one into the lifter valley?
". All the bolts come out again, scrape off the tube and a half silicone making the new seals at front and back of manifold. "Nope not in there." Looked around for it and no luck, off to parts store I go to find a bolt. 2 weeks later after the gardener had cut the grass, as I walk to my door after returning from the rock farm, there lies the lost bolt, 2 feet from where the Dart was parked on install day
True story, I was 22 driving my beuityful 70 318 lemon twist barracuda. He was 17. I will never forget the fun day, he has passed away along with all my other brothers.Making memories is what I have left and enjoyed telling you this one.
My grandfather was a painter... Union guy starting in the mid 1930sWhat could go wrong there. Too bad that fellow died of Cancer at a young age.
I think he saved every bit of leftover paint in barrels, lined up in the garage. So much lead and asbestos in there. Took a while to find a place that would accept it

I've always worried about one of my homies and that issue. He got into HVAC just after we were out of our teens. He made it through unharmed and retired to IdahohohoWhat could go wrong there. Too bad that fellow died of Cancer at a young age.

Weather guessers say Tuesday night through Friday night RAIN. 
My county sent me an e-mail warning regarding that. No flood watches or warnings from the NWS. We shall see

Fun times in the life of a younger gear head.. have a great day
I bought a 408 stroker a few years back that had that same issue. They just dolloped silicone in the gap and it leaked like a sieve.
I still question if the Williams “sisters” are actually chicks or dudes. Maybe it’s just me but something don’t seem right there.

Wee bit of difference between the NWS thermometer and actual. 37° on the thermometer and FROST on everything here 1 1/2 miles away

Your not wrong, They do look masculine. But it's complicated.... Found this online:
Venus and Serena Williams were not born boys, but they were born with a condition called congenital adrenal hyperplasia, which can cause ambiguous genitalia in newborns. When they were younger, their father began to dress them in girls’ clothing and refer to them as his daughters. This decision was met with some criticism, but ultimately paid off. Both Venus and Serena have always maintained that they are, and have always been, girls.

Still not my thing, but at least that girl could sing. Might have made the show a bit more tolerable if they gave here more than 20 seconds. And I like SLJ in movies, but he did nothing to save that garbage.NO MORE RAP!!!
Good late morning here. Slept in after a long weekend of swap meet stuff. Gave away at least 30 hotwheels cars to kids drug around the place by dads looking for parts. Sold a bunch of stuff and bought a bunch more stuff, gota quit buying more stuff though. Took the dogs for a walk and now sitting back and drinking my coffee.
Kim’s car was a no start, she took avalanche to work. I boosted it and its in shop testing for parasitic draw. Not enough to be a concern, guess i should repeat procedure and see if the goes to sleep the same as first time. Such a pita.
MEMIKE FOR HALF TIME ENTERTAINMENT!!!You can say that again!!

I’m thinking Wolfie and Hoppy as the main show. Memike, Timmy and Ben D drop in for Special Guest spots.

If Hoppy and I did the halftime show, it would be one Wardrobe Malfunction after another.I’m thinking Wolfie and Hoppy as the main show. Memike, Timmy and Ben D drop in for Special Guest spots.
