Stop on in for a cup of coffee!

Get that thing outta there! Got a rebuild going in? Seems to be the cheapest way to go with GM's.

That old engine should have come out just fine in the rain! It mighta helped get it out! I've never had much shelter with my cars, was glad to swap engines inside for the first time some years back.
 
Well, it's Sunday, and I woke up at 11:10 so I went ahead and had mental coffee. Watched a little TV next to my GF, before she started complaining about something, but I wasn't paying attention. Waited til 12:30 to crack a Barley Pop and watch my Vikings take on the Pack! Then it's Honey-do list time! A/C units coming out, storm windows going up. Then I get to move the remaining parts from my parts car over to my storage unit, come back and finish cleaning the garage enough to stuff the 56 Medalist into its stall! I'm tired and I haven't even started!

Here it is on the floor

I got the other one set in place and the bottom buttoned up except for the header collector gaskets. Started to put the top together. There will be some things left over. I have two piles from two trucks. The good stuff will go on, the rest garbage.

I guess it would have come out just fine in the rain, but the wuss that was doing it thought he was going to melt.:D
 
Coffee time! Lunch break after midnight, got my Vikings mug full of free coffee since they won, Skol Vikings!
 
I need to get the coffee maker ready for morning, love it when i get up and it's all ready made. I don't know what took me so long to finally buy a programmable coffee maker.:)
 
Good evening guys. I haven''t been around for a few days. I have been preoccupied with a 64 Dart that came up for sale. Pondering the purchase is taxing but exciting at the same time.
 
Oh, I hear ya - I've got way more than I have room for already but never stop looking....... I have gotten better at passing up an opportunity though. :angelic:
 
Had my coffee earlier in the day and kept doing the little things I needed to around the house. The FuFu stuff goes good for that, a mochachino something or other with a double espresso on top, that'll get you going! Got the Kona blend waiting for my lunch break at midnight.
 
Fresh pot going right now, one cup down while going into town for parts. I will have the second while I finish this truck:) I don't know about the rest of you guy's, but I can always tell when my oldest is home from collage on the weekends. When I get up only about a cup left in the pot and this morning when I got to the bottom of my cup I tasted grounds ARGH!!!:rage: Anyway I got work to do, have a great day.
 
I've got a splash left. I got busy in the office paying bills and straightening out the mess and got side tracked. Oh well, I'm retired so that's ok. I have a trash can full of throw away's and I found a couple treasures I forgot I had. Have a fun day!
 
Finished it :) One extra cup, got everything finished, filled coolant and vroom. Checked the timing, burped all the air out of coolant and it's gone. My friend came and got it and all is right in my world. He got his truck back and I made some extra cash.:) Any of you guy's get anything done today?

Nothing big. A little paperwork and some de-cluttering. Doing a little laundry now. The wife and I are going out to a comedy club with friends. Should be a hoot!
