Well...week-end is over..we got snow here in CT....fun roads....but I missed the fun.
I was stuck in the freezing garage doing a head gasket/timing belt on a friggen 94 Gro Tracker.....all week-end long...freinds swung by for a beer, and the wife kept me company until it got too cold for her....and the project lingered on...until it started. Ran some what good, but it was still blowing air into the coolant, but I thought about it...it would have done that to get rid of the air pockets trapped in the block....but I retorqued the head again, and it ran fine...then the new valve cover gasket was pissing oil every where...so I had to get another one. now the engine is good, but it is still pissin oil from the oil pan gasket...but the car is drivable..and I told the lady to bring it by on a later date..and I'll change it too.
I drove the AE86 out in the white stuff....only to find out that it is too light, and the tires are to bald to get any kind of grip....even on a small patch of ice...the car remains motionless. But the Jeep is another story...I was out plowing thru the shit, and makeing new trails on the freshly laid down snow blanket....I loved to see people try to follow my lead.......hehe
Had plenty of beer, and plenty of good food...mostly junk food, watched a few Anime movies, and slept a lot....I am sore from the cold and bending over the fender all week-end, but a nice hot bath is almost ready...and I will be re-charged for work tonight.
and I made $500 on that friggen Geo....hehe
so...how was your week-end?
