    Woke up and it was warm out like in the begining of May. So i went and got the parts to finish the motor/trans swap in my Corvair. All went well, till i went to drive it. 1st gear was nowhere to be found? .. So i said fine then i'll just take it for a test drive starting out in 2ed.

    It drove just fine, just no first. Although 2ed pulled pretty hard for a 2ed gear. So i pulled it back in the garage. And sat there for a minute, and then it came to me. I never checked the numbers on the trans and it was shifting in a 3 speed pattern (ohh noes!). My dumbass put in a 3 speed trans instead of a 4 speed. I was able to laugh about it though

    So i guess i'll be changing the trans in it here sometime. Although i will run it with the 3 speed for now.
    Oh noes! Way to roll with it though ;)

    Okay, too much pizza and an entire box of Girl Scout cookies. Miracle at St. Anne's awaits in the DVD player, but until the wife is done doing the dishes, (stepping into the flame retardant suite), Bring It On is on... can this day get any better?

    They make a cheap one you can get for 30ish bucks I think maybe less, but if you have a neighbor named "crazy John" with hunting dogs I think you will be set. I used to hunt so much I spent more time in the woods than in the house during the seasons (deer through small game sept to march in MI anyway) but sadly I can count on 1 hand one hand the number of times I have made it into the wood hunting in the past 6 years.

    When I lived in MI we used to hunt coyotes and we ended up chasing one nearly 17 miles before we could get a good shot on it to kill it. Poor dogs were so wore out after that we had to rest them for 2 weeks. (helps when you know every big land owner in the county and have permission to chase coyotes on their lands)

    I once had to walk 2 miles and carry four rotors for a Nissan Maxima... they are heavy! My arms hurt like crazy the next day. I wasn't covered in grease though.

    I only ran 6 miles today. Getting ready to race a hilly 25K tomorrow. I did install my Mtek carbon insert on my rear spolier. Hopefully the 20 bricks on my trunk lid will the get the doubled edged tape to stick. The edges were up a bit since the piece isn't as hard to form as the original M tec insert. Now I have a 80lb dog and I have bear and coyotes and I never let the dog out alone unsupervised. That's what 2000 acres of woods for a backyard will do to you. Sorry to hear about your loss Blunt. Will buy you a beer at the Vineyards. Shoot me an e-mail on a e30 fender and current 2002 fenders price. dlmrun2002ix at yahoo dot com.

    Um, I don't think I could run for six minutes.

    So, I got a homepage coded, went for a walk with the wife and kid, and now for some 'za as Michael Scott would say. Ground beef, mushrooms and extra sauce on a deep dish. The only thing lacking so far is a nap.

You will get that fucker. when you see him (if in the house) open window slowly and shoot him.

    I had to kill a few coyotes last dec. as they were messing with my dog when he was out side.
