Well, my fever broke, but I still feel like shit. Maybe even more so - my throats worse and I ache like I'm fiending for a good dose of the brown stuff. Well, that's probably because I am fiending for a dose, but I'm only fiending for the dose because I ache. Kinda of an interesting catch 22 I got going on here.
Good news on the gearhead front. That Caddy 500 I found - the guy is willing to deliver it to Seattle, WA for $525 total. A running, rebuilt version of that same engine costs $2500 without the core charge. Seems like a pretty good deal to me, considering I can get it rebuilt and pushing out 500hp on pump gas for about a grand, or less if I shop around.
I think I might just try and fly up there to meet him so I can get him to take it right to a storage unit I plan on renting up there. And there the engine will sit for a year or so until I get up to Seattle. Maybe I can even get one of my siblings to go half on the monthly fee with me and let them store all their shit in there too, since I doubt I'll be about to rent a tiny little unit about the size of an engine pallet (sure I could co-op it, but I don't like the idea of people going in and out of a unit with kids who could stick shit down the intake manifold or something unpredictable like that...just what I need, a handful of BBs in my intake manifold...or, worse yet, some kind of super sugary/salty candy to rust away the innards of the engine I've been lusting after for four years).
Dear Lord this cough is going to be the end of me. I need nicotine!
