Welcome to my brain. It’s messy. It’s interesting. And it’s all connected if you stick around long enough. "Believe Nothing: no matter who said, even if I have said it, except it agree with your own reason and common sense. Siddhartha Guatamo, the Buddha.

BlooTwuck is sitting down at Da’s currently. I’m sittin’ at home. Regular work day tomorrow at the J.O.B. but I’d rather be elbow deep in grease and grime getting things DONE!!!

Patience Grasshoppa!!!

yah, yah, yah,,, I’m tryin’, I am. The running dialogue here in the house is a mirror of this post. Talkin’ to Mama-kat on my lap, telling her how much I’d rather be down there turnin’ wrenches,,, Getting purred at because she doesn’t understand my words, only that I am talking to her.

sigh,,,,

I’m tryin’. Can’t do, not yet: still have some stuff to pick up when I do my banking run tomorrow. Cleaners mostly, some RTV for gaskets, Assembly lube for the rebuild side (I have some,,, Highly doubt I have enough.) Stuff, don’t want to get caught without it and have to interupt my flow. And I fully intend to get into a Zen state while doing this. Yeah, I might cuss at times, but when things get moving (especially on the rebuild side) I already have the gist of the motions down and “Fly!”. Like this afternoon, doing the teardown then build back to running. Maybe I shortcut some points (like just a little RTV as a gasket on the water pump) but it wasn’t critical, just enough to get her down the hill. Doing it ‘properly’ wouldn’t have taken me any longer, but would be wasted since its all coming right back apart.

I did all of that ‘tear down and back to running’ in one hour. I think book time calls for 2 hours for replacing the timing gears. I didn’t replace them, but could have in a matter of minutes where I was.

So, I try to get my thoughts on to a different focus: Just what am I attempting to do with BLooTwuck? Mobile mechanic? (doable) mobile welding? (doable) General handyman services? (doable),,,,,

Hell, that door is WIDE THE F! OPEN, ain’t it? Up to me, so many choices, so many skillsets that I could bring to the table,,,,DO bring to the table already, but for one company,,, Time to take back my life?

Gots some thinks on my plate, don’t I?

    Mama-kat just likes the attention. I do it, too, with Colt.

    Some tinks, indeed! Yer correct – Twuck opens up many doors fer ya, she does. I still tink ya made the right choice with her. Yer also correct about that assembly lube – good sheeiitt, that – a necessity, it is! Just don’t overdo it – too much of the stuff and it can cause problems by getting a wad of it in the oil passages and possibly clogging things up. Kinda a fence walk, there. Ah crap… preaching to the choir again, ain’t I! Sorry ’bout that!!

    Y’all take care,
    Mike in FLA.
