I FINALLY went and had the mufflers put on and I love them. They have this deep growl, the car is quieter inside, and less drone. I can't wait for the drive down to Strongsville on THursday.

I wasn't able to get over there yesterday, but my father told me that he was able to repair my exhaust manifold yesterday. He also took the engine off the stand, and installed the clutch and bell housing. I'll get back on it Saturday, I have to install a magnetic drain plug in my Muncie. (It's a 67' transmission, and lacks a drain plug.) With some luck, I can get it inserted back into the car the same day.

Thumbs down

Very doubtful I will get anything done today. Pulled something in my back yesterday, and got roped into helping someone fetch their frame from the powder coaters. Oh, I have to take my final exam before 1 pm...

I'm seriously ready to sell the trailer if this keeps up. I'm so frazzled that I can't seem to be left alone long enough to do my own stuff. I need a vacation with no cell phones or internet for about a week.

You want to help people and do right by them, but it seems like eventually you are made to feel like you can't say no. Rant off/

I know the feeling they make you feel guilty if you can't just drop everything and do it now.
