What are you doing today?

Took the bad engine out of Shelby's car today. Her boyfriend did most of the work while I made a mandrel to modify a transmission slip yoke.

Assessed paint and glass damage to two of my vehicles from inconsiderate and illegal neighbors' fireworks. Angry as can be!

Spent the weekend at the beach with all the family.  800 mile trip each way.  Headed home.

Recovering from a neat week end in Des Moines .... Looks like "Mobility Scooters" will be a part of my car show life from here on ...     They work great .. I did not take out a single spectator , crash through any doors , etc ..  
I did get to see LOTS more cars & such "scooting" in place of walking ...

And NO pain meds were needed for the entire weekend .

Hung the gate today. It seems I made it the right size...not always the case when I make things at home for the cabin.

The gate looks good George

I spent half the day driving around Toledo looking for parts to rebuild a couple floor jacks. I found enough parts for one, a cheap import, but a better jack, also imported, I had to order the seals for that one on line. I put one jack back together, the other one is near done, but will set until I get the seals.


I spent the rest of the day modifying a slip yoke for a conversion I am building.

Built most of a set of travel limiters for a friends fairlane . Trimmed up a rear fender for another buddies chopper we are building . Started mounting interior trim around the front windows I installed last summer. my summer to do list keeps getting longer.

Cleaned my dual cone air filters.  First time in 10 years and still not a whole lot of dirt in the bucket.  Thinking I may not have a large enough of an opening and I may be starving the engine of air.  I don't know how to do the calculations.  Still looking for the answer.

You multiply 3 1/2 hp by two, and divide by Briggs and Stratton. A couple cigarette filters should do it.

Frank, why are you up at 2am???

Frank, why are you up at 2am???

Just to give me crap.

[enjenjo]

Frank, why are you up at 2am???

Well, it's a long story. My arthritis has been doing real well lately, me not so much. Wednesday evening I drove to Crawfordsville In. on my way to pick up some soda for Frank's store in Montecello Il. The bed there did not agree with me, so I did not sleep well. After loading up, and driving back home, I fell asleep on the couch about 9 pm. I woke up with my knees hurting about 2, so I got up, took some pain meds, and surfed the internet until they kicked in.

Now, fast 401 swears that his motor is not a Briggs, but it says so right on his key.

[kb426]

Frank, I fully understand.

Boy howdy ....  Frank.  I can relate.  My arthritis in my back has been doing well lately. Minimum side effects from the meds.

But:  my left hip has been acting up a few times here n there for 2 yrs.  In recent weeks, the hip has ramped up the pain frequency.  Will need a doc visit soon.   My much older brother had his right hip replaced 4 yrs ago.   He is 7 yrs older than me.

Count me in on this arthritis thing!  The middle of May every and I mean every joint in my body started to hurt, Lost all my strength in my arms and hands..  Shortening up the story, I was tested for lyme disease rhemutoid factor and something called  parvo virus 9.  All came back negative.  Sent me to a specialist who thinks it may be a virus as my blood count was a little high.  Wait  6 weeks and more bloodwork and xrays.  I see him again on the 22nd.  Meanwhile most joints are back to normal except for my wrists and hands-  no strength and stiff to move. So that's why I've been quiet lately; cant do much wrenching and twisting.Tom...
