Frustrated at Me
Went to the garage today to install my new engine. Got it in and filled with juices. Cranked it with the coil wire off for about 3-10 second bursts. I put the coil wire on and it wouldn't start. 4-6 plug wires were reversed. Crap...I hate brain farts. Fixed that and it started right up but now it's occasionally popping through the intake.
I guess I adjusted a valve or two too tight. I got tired and had to come home to drink a beer. Poopy on it. Tomorrow's another day. Usually the initial valve adjust is good but on my own car..........noooooo! I hate it when Monday's come on a Tuesday. Just had to vent. Frustration sux.

I am driving down to Kentucky In my 87 Vert soon Gunny.
Drink beers together & lend a hand wrenching if you need it from me.
Wife is bitching again at me tonight.
I can't hear hear he complain about everything under the sun if I am in Kentucky with you for a weekend.

Dont beat yourself up Gunny, it happens. I am a Master Plumber and even doing the same faucet over and over occasionally I get stuff outa sequence. I feel stoopid and look over my shoulder to see if anyone saw it but what the heck. I always blame it on working too hard........Did I say that?
Brian watch out hoistin a few with them dam Marines. I never met a harder drankin bunch of wildmen. I usta have a good buddy, Viet Nam era vet. Lost him about 10 years ago. Still miss him around the fire at the hunting camp.

Lock the keys in the house or cars Ron...
As long as Gunny does not have any triple distilled homemade moonshine..........
Corn grows very well in Kentucky like Illinois.
have an old friend that makes shine on occasion.
Corn from his family farm.
Obtained his plans for the moonshine still from the internet.
Water cooled still.
Neatest looking contraption made from copper water pipe from Menard's or Home Depot.
When triple distilled,
estimated alcohol content is 99 %.
I have drank 1 quart of that stuff on a dare.
you want to talk about alcohol poisoning.....
Can't stop laughing & cracking jokes either drinking that stuff...
Been 7 years since I drank that stuff.........
I am sure Gunny has a surprise in store,
Always up for a dare here.
