Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

We walked down to the ocean Friday while we were visiting my aunt, the high was 68. The ocean was cold, there is a small public parking area near her house. There was a car from Quebec in the lot. We get down to the beach and I assume it was the people driving that car, their kids had nothing on but swim suits and were playing in the water. We had long sleeves and pants on

 

Thank you all for the birthday wishes.

Today's plans call for signing over our old house this morning followed by a 2 1/2hr drive to drop off everything at our new place. Should be a fun day!

 

It’s all relative.
I went to Fla years ago for the Daytona 500.
Was one of the coldest springs down there in recent years.
Frost on the ground.
Everyone was dressed like a Eskimo.
I was walking around in a tee shirt.
A woman walked up to me at the gate and asked.
“Your not from around here are you”?

 

Sent pictures of the new roof to insurance man so we can get the rest of our payment, he said did you get a receipt or a letter of completion? I said I will, ask roofer for letter of completion, he said no problem

 

Revisiting this picture, I think a good idea is to knock the ends of these studs off first thing. 1)they aren't going to hold anything 2) less chance of ruining the nut provided they come loose 3) be another chance at getting some penatrant in there 4) it will be that much shorter distance I have to spread the flange to get the new gasket in there.
Maybe I over think things sometimes

 

And that gentlemen is how the pros make a living fixing cars...

 

Dont forget cabin air filter

 

Top one is easy - slide a zip disc in between the two flanges and cut it; for the lower one, can you work that last piece of gasket out? If so, cut both studs, press out the heads, press in new one's and job's a good 'un.

 

Those North of the border folks are tough.




(or nuts)

 

Little of Column 'A', little of Column 'B'...

 

The van is old, I don't know if it has one.
20 degrees out right now -- too damn cold to go exploring and find out.

 

Prob not, if its old.

 

Thanks for the knife sharpener @StayinStock

 

You're welcome! It's the newest one I had

 

Flat Rate..

 

Oh yeah, that’s more important than fixing the fucking problem it came in for.

 

A buddy of mines 97' Supra w/ an 8675 single turbo. Dyno'd at 1170 at the wheel. Born an auto, now its a 6 speed. Car has people snapping necks to look when he pulls in. It would be cool to have a car like that, that car people revere.
