Whatcha working on this weekend?

Watching the Hungarian Grand Prix, watching Indy at Mid Ohio, watching 24hrs of Spa. While I'm doing that, I've got a washing machine to repair or replace, grass to mow, garage door to fix, RV rooftop AC to try to fix, and something is rubbing sometimes on the Neon so I need to look at that.

Mow, watch racing (all types), fix garden hoses(I'm cheap), wash the 'V',Bravada, Aurora, watch racing (all types), install last boards on the deck, drink a beer, watch racing (all types), church, breakfast out, take a nap while watching racing..........

melting stuff with fire, finishing welding a toy jeep together, mowing the lawn. The usual weekend stuff.

Worked on the Fiat 500L this morning. Oil changed. New plugs. Removed the pre-filter from the new air filter. Tightened up the intake clamp to the turbo that the dealer forgot. Car runs a LOT better now. Now a break and cleaning the garage in the 103 degree heat down here in Texas.....

Drilling holes in and painting the Vega heater box, need to flip the core horizontally. The 327 valve cover interferes with the outlets in the stock position.

If it rains any more I'm going to work on my television watching and beer drinking skills.

Making magazines! Two stories edited so far. I'd like to get through one or two more today.

Did that last night. A-Team, Miami Vice, TMZ and then bed.

I had a coworker ask me where I went to church. After my response he said he goes to St. Mattress. Yes, as the words where is that church rolled out of my mouth before I could stop, I got the joke.

Got the horn problem figured out. It was related to the removal of the PA/siren. Just had to connect two wires to restore the horn circuit. Now I think I'll put the PA/siren unit on eBay.

David, I'd like to point out that I find GRM very well edited. It is very rare that I find a misspelling or grammatical error. I can recall only a few in the like 20 years that I've been reading teh mag, y0.

So, keep up the good work.

Thanks. We have a really good crew.

I looked at brother bobs saturn vue. Needs an ac compressor. I told him to sell it.

I put sway bar end links on the rear of the mazda5, again...set number 5. I need to swap all the motor mounts but not going to get that done. My mower broke one of the idler pulley shafts and it isn't available without buying a complete deck so I've gotta draw and make it. Arrrgh

Not as much as I should be...

Worked half day and Got the brakes on my dads s10 fixed with a new rear line. Went smoother then expected.

Helped a buddy make a spacer plate to put his 215 Buick engine and T5 in his Miata. Worked on adapting a seat bracket to put a $50 Sparco seat in my Challenge Miata.

God I love the Buick 215, I have decided to just Move the back half frame I have (cut it out from an old drag car that was scrapped) about 6-8 more inches back. Carb clears and the Windscreen clear's the carb too. heck a few more inches and it's gonna be a sidewinder. Oh and cut the grass and worked on the roof early before the Sun got up too high, Good day.!!!

I can't say.

Got this far...(This is the front sill assembly of an MGB)

Walmart trip, LS430 oil change, clean up the garage a bit, pool time with the family! Not too bad considering the people at Walmart were pretty normal and my hands barely got dirty.

In reply to NOHOME: as only the warlock of MGBdom could present it....

Changed the oil and rotated the tires on SWMBO's Mazda3.

Pulled the Mustang in next and aimed the new headlights, I don't drive it much at night so I always forget to do it after I drive it out late. Then I replaced the rear pads and rotors, had some metal on metal on the drivers side, got to looking and one of the slide pins was catching and causing the caliper to go wonky and drag. Hopefully my MPG will go up a little now that that is not dragging. Need to visit the U-pull though as I found the drivers side caliper wa smissing the return pring for the e-brake, another reason for the high wear on that side maybe. I then installed the new lower grill insert and calle dit a day on that car.

The bike was next, A few weeks ago the bike let out a puff of electrical smoke and wouldn't start, I tore it apaort looking for something burnt, couldn't ever find anything. So today I put it all back together. Started right up.. have no clue what it was that smoked. Maybe a loose connection that I fixed when i put it all back together..

Need to pull the truck in tomorrow and work on relocating the PMD to inside the truck. These things aren't lasting long for some reason so maybe putting them in the A/C cooled cab will keep help it last longer.

Unfortunately the tire shop sold the new rear that was there two days ago so I dropped the wheel off to them and ordered a new one so it'll be a couple days before the bike is ready.

I waited for the temp to drop from 104° down to a cool 98° so I could wash and clay the Civic in preparation for compounding and polish tomorrow. It's really not worth the time as the paint is trashed but I have nothing else to do.
