draggin,

rough night last night. Voo woke me up around 3 am, squealing like a wounded horse. Couldn’t find a danged thing wrong with him; I think it was just a bad dream on his part, but DAMN!!! I have never heard a dawg make that kind of noise before. Sweartagawd, I came flying out of bed with a pulse rate of 200 and enough adrenaline to feed an entire platoon of Marines. Even Grizz was hair standing on end freaked out.

Finally able to lay back down after Voo stopped whimpering (fear? wasn’t pain, showed no signs of pain) and now, that daylight is on us, he’s acting completely normal. Anyone ever have a dawg afraid of the dark? Voo has always been clingy during the dark hours, but I have never seen anxiety signs like he showed last night) and now its full daylight outside and I have zero motivation to do anything. Seriously, I just wanna go back to bed and call it good for the day. I won’t, mind you: otherwise I won’t sleep a wink tonight and that starts a cycle that is hard as heck to break. I just need to discipline myself and get those things done I intended to do, despite my desire to do ‘nuthin’, nuthin’t’all’.

Plans. Engine work, do the head gaskets on Buffalo. OR, Kayak I really need to do the headgaskets but the bandaid is holding (and i have reason to believe it is a solid ‘fix’ until I do a coolant flush.) but I know once I start, I am stranded in place until it is done, and that is a two day job, IF I don’t need to take the heads to a machine shop. I can reface them, even do the valve guides if needed, but if there is a warp or serious need of a hard reface, then I am down a vehicle for however many days a machine shop will take to turn it around. And the closest machine shop that still handles that sort of work is over forty miles away. So, I am thinking of just holding on that for a spell and doing some ground and center work on ME. I have all the parts for the repair, just not all the fluids, and considering I was paid yesterday and between a FJBfuel fill-up, and paying the bank for the privilege of loaner money,,,

yeah, what paycheck???

just another part of that ‘Nuthin’, nuthin’t’all” attitude I have going.
