    V4 with pushrods, yes sir.

    Then you would not believe the Moto Guzzi Centaro--V2, overhead camshafts, and push rods, since the rocker shafts are 90 deg. from the cams, the rocker shafts need the push rods to complete the operations, without using bevel gears

    I thought I was hairy but you're right there with me (and more)
    When I had surgery in October they shaved the entire front of my body. They wore out the battery on the first clippers and had to get a second one. Being hairy I always wondered what it would be like to be...let's call it smooth. The first time I saw myself in a mirror I looked like a giant uncooked chicken. And taking a shower...the way my hands slid over my skin was f'n creepy...like I was some kind of serial killer from Silence of the Lambs or something.

    Good morning CT.

    A little :washing: then I have to look at my sister's Subaru and her boyfriends Subaru.

    Did a little rearranging to the stuff in my living room late last night. Got rid of a small shelf I was hardly using and moved a couple small items. Had to pull everything off the book shelves to remove a power wire (waiting on a USB wall adapter so I can put everything back like it was).

    Got bored so I tackled it last night.

    Currently it's 79%. Unsure of what it was earlier.

    Saturday afternoon and yesterday was rough. Took a couple pills Saturday night, and didn't feel like they did anything.

    Help out all day yesterday because I wanted to be "present" because of the kids. Took two before bed, an hour went by and didn't feel like they were working. Went to lay down, and started feeling "weird". Guess they finally kicked in. Still slept like shit.

    Feeling OK this morning... so far.
