Been busy, just dropping by to say hi. Lots going on around "Casa DE Joe" lately
1. Son has been deeply involved in BMX racing and while the wife and the boy are off from school for the summer they are roaming around the USA in a conversion van we bought. It's a 60K mile Chevy G20 Santa Fe conversion van. We broke it in logging about 1k miles over this past weekend going to some races. It performed flawlessly although it is a bit gutless with the 350. I am doing some work like installing a second battery / isolator and inverter so they can run an a/c unit while parked. Also adding a cargo platform, bike rack and trailer hitch to free up space inside the van.
2. Still going to school full time. That along is keeping me busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest.
3. New job is still fantastic. I am happier now than I've been in decades.
4. Picked up a nice 87 Mazda for my daughter but it overheated pretty bad and warped the head. The machine shop found it to be cracked all over the place so I picked up a new head. It is in but I have a bit more work to do replacing vacuum fittings, lines etc that have dry rotted and cracked. I also swapped the radiator, water pump and timing belt while I was in there.
Good times here. I could use a clone to help me keep up....
Anyway, hope you all are well and have a great summer doing car things....someday I'll get to mine...
