[groucho]

Is your Beach Cruiser a 3 wheeler? I'm sorry, I couldn't resist!

Training wheels. haha

[JOES66FURY]

I did nothing....again.


I need to find a second job or something. I am sick of just sitting around on Saturdays and Sundays. I have no free money to do anything to either car so....I go to the gym, clean up around the house and sit on my ass....

I did make stuffed cabbage...golumpki or holubki...depending on where youre from....

I rode my Beach Cruiser around the SoCal beaches both days. Santa Monica, Venice, Dockweiler, Manhatten, and Hermosa.

A cannonball run to Colorado Springs to assist my family in preparing for a relative's funeral, and a cannonball back last night.

Sat., dropped my new dragster off at the fab shop to get the stuff done that I needed to have modified. Went back to my shop and fired the motor in my old car one more time and then started taking the motor and trans out of it because it's going in my new car.

Sun., watched the 49'ers lose and tried to take care of wife who has the flu. Scott, I feel your pain. Wife has been down since Friday with it and my fabricator had it all last week!

I rode my Beach Cruiser around the SoCal beaches both days. Santa Monica, Venice, Dockweiler, Manhatten, and Hermosa. I dig watching the bigger jets take off right over head from LAX. The bigger 380's just seem to lumber along at a snail's pace. It's pretty amazing

Scott - sorry you're having issues. My grandson has periodic problems as well but he's mostly OK as long as he stays on the Remicade (I think it is) - monthly infusions.

And Kiwi - you guys are nuts! Did you set the record?

As far as what I did - check my project thread.

It was dehydration from the flu.

I hope your grandson is doing OK. I wouldn't let them come near me with Remicade. For me, the problems from shutting down one's immune system would cause far more dangerous problems than Crohns.

Drank coffee with the guys Saturday morning, spent the rest of the day removing and cleaning parts on the van. TLD told me that the diesel was leaking oil again, Saturday night. Its frustrated both of us for a couple of years. So Sunday I pulled apart the problem area (I understand why the prior owner safety wired the bolts but....damn) got a new gasket and put it back together again.

Then spent the rest of the evening watching the Stupid Bowl with my sons and their friend.

While tearing a 5.7 Hemi apart for 'just' a crankswap, I decided not to stop there, but also check out the cam and blow through the oilpassages in the block.
That's when I found the cam didn't want to come out.
After some persuading it gave up and I was shown a cam with an extra moving part...

[Grumpy]

Geez Scott, I hope it gets better for you, ER's are no fun but they're great when you need them.

Transported some parts over to Brownsburg then came home and cleaned up some parts, I worked on a Fertilizer Spreader Sunday, how's that for a fun weekend!

[Al Von]

The only thing I did automotive-wise was swap out a headlight bulb for my fiancee's daughter on her Cobalt. She actually READ her owner's manual and instructed me on getting headlight out so I could change the bulb!

Too cold to do anything but refuel and scrape ice.

I spent Saturday doing stats homework and Sunday rearranging my Simpsons Tapped Out town and talking to Bryan as he drove home. I didn't even watch the super bowl.

Not to bad I hope, not bad enough to stop you from driving

The driving isn't the problem. The carrying of luggage will be.
