decided to go ahead and tighten up all the intake nuts, especially the three bottom ones.
I may not be as limber in the morning as I am tonight after taking my superman pill...
need two batry cable ends and a bolt from the parts house tomorrow, and then I can be done with this one and start in on the ford truck exhaust.
it has to run out monday morning, I have a windshield appointment for it at 1 pm at the ghost salvage...

I decided to drop in and hang out at a buddy of mine's jernt the other day. (the same one that is my first camera system install)
he's an interesting cat.
used to be a kid with no money hanging around the speed shop back in my other lifetime.
artist kinda kid.
all growed up now, with his own niche in the custom car world.
makes coolio shifter knobs that are sold at car shows all over the country. (I surprised him in KC when he was making a public appearance. he hadn't seen me in 10 years, but one of his dealers was a good friend of mine, helped me ambush him) I was the traveling HP transmission guru from Chicago at the time.
I think he and I are gonna trade out some labor on a coupla projects. (he paints, I weld)
and I've been invited to hang out at his place as a celebrity guru. we're gonna do a motor teardown and old skool measuring on his 63 pontiac motor some time this month. with my new antique gauge kit.
and with an audience, it seems.
apparently all of his homies have heard stories about me from way back...

I went out to feed the chickens, and discovered that they had relatives over to visit.
