dreading 5pm

Well wish me luck, I am going to do my plugs after work. I am going to walk in the door, change clothes, grab a beer (to start), kiss the wife and kids and say, no matter what you hear dont come to the garage. And apoligize now for what you may hear.

I am not looking forward to #8 plug, I know that.

....#8.......

...we know what you are talking about, but relax.....do not allow a bucket of bolts and parts cave you in......when you get to the end........leave the machine, go watch cartoons, and try it again.....

Save some money.

Put a swear jar in the garage and put in a buck for each bad word you say. That way you can buy something cool like tools or a gift for someone that gave you advice.

On the serious side, get a plug socket with a universal joint attached. Get a 1", 3" and a flexible extension. A short piece of large vacuum hose is great for starting the plug in the hole. Also be sure you have antisieze compound.

douh, the anti-seize. Thanks almost forgot that one. I think I am going to start with #8 first. It can only get easier from there.

Well after work a tech and I looked to see what angles and what sockets I would need and it turned out when I got home I was replacing a garage door instead of working on my car. So needless to say my baby is outside tonight
