my car began to make terrible noise last night on the way home from work. It just suddenly dropped oil pressure and began chattering. I guess this is what everyone refers to as Tick Of Death. I pulled over and checked the oil, only a half quart low. Guess I will be doing the turbo swap sooner rather than later.... :( I changed the oil as soon as I got home too, didn't help. :mad:

Awww, bring a tear to my eye. I knew this little girl, well, read this:

 

 

Here's a truly heartwarming story about the bond

 

formed between a little 5-year-old girl and some

 

construction workers that will make you believe

 

that we all can make a difference when we give

 

a child the gift of our time.

 

 

 

 

A young family moved into a house, next to a

 

vacant lot. One day, a construction crew began

 

to build a house on the empty lot. The young

 

family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an

 

interest in the goings-on and spent much of

 

each day observing the workers.

 

 

Eventually the construction crew, all of them

 

'gems-in-the-rough,' more or less, adopted her

 

as a kind of project mascot. They chatted with

 

her during coffee and lunch breaks and gave her

 

little jobs to do here and there to make her feel

 

important. At the end of the first week, they even

 

presented her with a pay envelope containing ten

 

dollars. The little girl took this home to her

 

mother who suggested that she take her ten

 

dollars 'pay' she'd received to the bank the next

 

day to start a savings account.

 

 

When the girl and her mom got to the bank, the

 

teller was equally impressed and asked the little girl

 

how she had come by her very own pay check at

 

such a young age. The little girl proudly replied,

 

'I worked last week with a real construction crew

 

building the new house next door to us.'

 

 

'Oh my goodness gracious,' said the teller, 'and will

 

you be working on the house again this week, too?'

 

The little girl replied, 'I will, if those rump roast holes at

 

Home Depot ever deliver the f _ ckin' sheet rock.'

I pulled the motor and dropped the tranny. Resealed my EJ and cleaned my new to me 5spd. The brat needs some new parts!:banana:

Lots-o-cleaning! Still got to finish the power steering rack and crossmember stuff to start putting it all together!

 

I have been dying to have something to post here for a long time!:banana::banana::banana::banana:

I loaded it down with firewood about 750lbs worth (full) and drove 25 miles back from my dads and proceded to throw sawdust at it via my 038 supermag "splitting" butt cuts and knottly chunks. :banana:

Repainted my hub caps. Searched at the junk yard for possible 6 lug wheel candidates. Will Pull some drums soon and start the re drill process. Also painted up some rusty areas to hopefully stop rust till a total repaint next year. Got some "new" er carpet for my cargo area, lubed my speedo cable and made it worse :-\ and drove it.
