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.

Got back to work on my car this morning... tightened a lot of bolts, installed the clutch Z bar, driveshaft, belts, core support. In between that I put four new upper control arm bushings in my father's 72' Lemans. I quit around 11:30, sore all over and it was hot! (I saw 88* in the shade a little before 10:30)



Tuesday... fuel pump, lead pipes, top off fluids, distributor cap, plug wires, and some wiring connections - it will run again.

Just quit for the day, I'm already sore and tired. I installed the fuel pump and carb to pump line, distributor cap, plug wires, connected all the wiring... alternator, op sending unit, etc. Got all the vacuum lines hooked up, went over everything to make sure bolts were tight, filled the radiator. I just didn't get around to hooking up the lead pipes.

I did some unexpected things... pressure washed the front of the shop, and the front half of the LeMans frame. Also went over some wiring and connections on the 67' C10. I squeezed a lot in this morning, now it's time to go home and shower.
