Humpday nuthin’s

Seriously, got nuthin’ to add to the fray. Avoiding the Poly-tick-ian sphere with a 20′ pole because the mess I do catch is “one minute to midnite” crap, so far out of my control and comfort levels as to make me wanna crawl in a hole and pull the entrance in after me.

Not goin’ there.

Bloo is doing good. still a misfire, and still working on that diag, Very likely, its an injector issue. Ruled out plug wire last night, haven’t ruled out the plug, but these plugs are the new ones from BLoos’s last engine. Barely 100 miles on ’em. Haven’t ruled out valve adjustment either, but I did ‘listen in’ with the stethoscope and heard nothign but sliding noises of cam and roller lifters. (not ruling valves out as I should hear a ‘tink’ when the valve closes, but didn’t hear that. They may be hanging open a hair.)(in my defense, I’m about as close to deaf as you can get without tripping the Disablity Act: I may have missed that noise)

Part of me wants to complain, and the other part of me tries to beat the whiner down with a 2×4. Hell, Ia m in so much better of a position from where I was last week. Its partly my paranoia levels. (like listening to the block with the stethoscope, and hearing a minor tick at the front of the block. Yes, it may be that this crank is developing a ron knock. It DID have 189K on it when pulled. But that I can not hear it except when using listening aids and barely even then,,, Just keep the oil levels good and clean and shouldn’t be an issue for at least another year.)

And like my favo-Rite brudda by anudda mudda B says, “you’re over-thinking again! STOP THAT!”

She runs. She is actually getting halfway decent fuel milage from what I can see (will know for certain come payday when I fill her to the brim) I am babying her, warm ups in the morning, not pushing hard while she learns how to be a gear box engine, not a slushbox engine. (big differences there, think about it.) and more than a little paranoid of failures with the last six months of “now whats?”

Having finally welded the exhaust completely, she isn’t near as loud as she was just a bare week ago. She is actually more a joy to drive than prior, and I weren’t complain nune then.

=============================

Good day today. Had to put on the McGuyver Hat for several hours, fixin’ a trio of swinging gates another company installed at a house we are putting new fencing up at. Lost keys, but we had a set from a similar latchsystem. Those worked perfect, and then adjust and re-align things so gates close smooth and actually LATCH without needing manipulations. It sounds droll, but little things like that, where I MUST think, and distract me from the muhndanity of the real world about me,,, BLISS!!!! Five hours will slide by like flowing water and I won’t notice. Managed to squeeze in seven hours with follow up with the actual fencing crew. It all adds up to a better paycheck.

and I passed out some of my business cards today as well. Of course I haven’t heard a damend thing yet, time will tell how this plays out.

Love y’all. I hope your world is improving as I feel like mine is. It may not be grand and clorious, but its not a complete hell ether.
