Merry Christmas everybody! I'm having an awesome time snowboarding in Steamboat. I missed a huge storm's snow by a couple days, which is hardly something to complain about, but still counts as a minor bummer. 14" of fresh powder was mostly used up by Saturday, but there was still some leftovers to be found in the trees & other less obvious spots. The next evening...

Separated the motor from the tranny. Tranny fluid is very clean, motor looks pretty clean inside too. I gotta swap oil pans & pick ups anyhow, rearsump on motor, car takes front sump. Got it very cheap, but the fella couldn't tell me what it came out of. pulled the intake, it's a roller cam block: smile Used a mirror in the intake valley to find...

Ok, here's one you haven't met yet. It's been beside the garage needing rings (i.e. total rebuild) and a tranny for about three years. It looks decent from a distance, but don't let that fool you. It has body rust coming through the old paint in a bunch of different places but no rust holes and no real structural rust problems. The body panels don't...

You should get a swimming pool and fill it with solvent, so you could dip a whole vehicle at a time...

Don't worry - whenever I feel the hate I spit it out.

New layout, bite me.
In case you miss Emett Otter's Jug Band Christmas this year:


Sure they're cute, and not bad considering the homemade instruments. But after all these years they're still no match for:



Boring nuts & bolts stuff:

They could have called themselves God Jr. and any protests would have been groundless.

Right, well that's exactly it - I figured you saw The Zombies up there and thought you were making a reference to their song "Care of Cell 44" somehow...
Then I realized it was the wrong #, and you were probably making a prison joke.
There.
It's ALL straightened out!
kenyon:
it's creepier in context, but the idea is that once you're shown this video, you have like a week to show it to someone else or your own death is imminent. i send this for lack of a rubber snake with which to torment you.

Glamis was a blast, so much so that I'm blowing off Thanksgiving with my Sister & going back there in a week. 3 days before we left, cousin decided to pull a buggy out of his back yard that had been sitting for who knows how long before he bought it for 200 bucks. We went like gangbusters getting it into shape. Single port motor...

i want to get a chrome plated german helmet to ride with my motorcycle. my wife thinks i would look dorky with that helmet on a dual sport bike.
kenyon:
you suck at punishment, by the way. i loved that video, obviously. fave scene: when rob pulled apart the prison bars like they were made of silly putty, and then: "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIIIIKE!"

leaving for a week at the Glamis dunes tomorrow. Went to find a video of all the stupid shit that goes on there, it's a nuthouse. But every time a video was entertaining the music was horrific. I won't put you through that. Here's one video of glamis in the 70's before the $75K 800hp sand cars.
As for the scene today, the big money...

cramps show sounds like fun. the record i'm talking about is the v. femmes first one, though hallowed ground is awesome (i think i still own a copy). i love the "i hear the rain" song.
