Whatcha working on this weekend?

I cleaned out my 1985 Century tournament skier. So my boys can ski and wakeboard all weekend. All other projects have to wait

And that it's only until pilot Braden picks the board up for me it is that is his new project.

The living spaces in my place don't have any overhead lights. Impulse bought a Chinese knockoff of an Arco lamp locally, 150 lb block of marble and all. Put it together this afternoon. Nice being able to read now once the sun goes down.

In reply to Mitchell:

That's crazy.

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.

Who's in bed at five thirty pm? Ya gotta do it the Catholic way. I'm good for Sunday.

trying to get the guy on the left to behave

The dang guest toilet tank decided to leak.....right in the middle of prime motorsport viewing......

Gonna be a couple days on the tire as they sold the one they had in stock but the Civic is shiny.

Instead of working on the daily, i finally fixed the radio in the elky and tweaked the seats for a better fit.

So, between Friday and today, I worked 40 hours.

But between my boss, his employees, his friends, his employees' friends, and some not-so-close friends of theirs who happened to own a major interstellar trucking company, we worked flat out and managed to pack, ship, move, and partially unpack a 4-bay repair shop and a modestly sized engine building/parts sales business, down the street to a much larger 7-bay facility with ample room for growth.

And we open for business at 8 tomorrow, which will be fun since not everything is unpacked and there's no "site knowledge" yet anyway...

Gave the Turbo II seats that came with the RX7 a very thorough cleaning. Looking fresh as hell now. Wrapped up a few other things on the car as well and now I think it's gonna be ready to fire like this week. Maybe. Fingers crossed Last hurdle should be deleting the emissions and security crap from the tune, but the brand new laptop I bought for running HPTuners has been doing some sort of diagnostic and recovery thing for the past two hours, so....

Went for a hike.

Enlisted my toddler to wash the Vibe, which to her includes me when she has the hose, cleaned it's engine bay and wheels so it's nicer to work on. Why have I ever washed an engine bay before?

MS3 doesn't appear to leak so that's a bonus.

I might strip the pinstripes and practice attempt to improve my mediocre bodywork and painting skills on the Vibes exterior. Since it needs some help.

Checked torques on the trucks add-on rear sway bar fasteners after 1K miles and changed some hardware I wasn't crazy about. Was ready to trim the excess from the axle U-bolts (that drives me berkeleying nuts) when I remembered plastic caps. I hadn't seen them in ten years but knew I had 'em. Brushed ample anti-seize on and the caps fit like they were made for it. Easy Button win. They ain't comin' off.

Started fab on an OCC mount. Only had one TIG job but was outta gas. Revised plans to MIG.

Applied online for a operator job at a regional hospital. It took longer to take the 'Values Assessment' than it did to update and tailor my resume. Geezus, people.

One step forward, two steps back. Worked on the TR4 plumbing. Realized the oil filter head has a cut-out to feed an oil pressure sender. I'm using a different location and non-stock gauges - will need to block off the passage in the filter head - jb weld probably. Worked on the brake pedal assembly - realized the seat is too cramped. Need to cut off the cage crossbar and down tube and relocate about an inch and a half over to move the seat back a couple of inches. At least the braided fuel and oil lines are pretty .

It's still the weekend right?

Sitting around watching B is for Build's newest episode where he scheduled his second dyno day and still didn't have everything fully shaken down (@9:30 pm). Suddenly I thought to myself "Why the hell am I sitting here watching someone break things, and work on an sloppy engine swap, when I could be in the shop working on my own E36 M3?"

So I went out and installed the V2 PNP MAP sensor that's been sitting on my bench for months and the SSP I ordered a few weeks ago. Finally I installed a ricer roll call on the fuse box of the hard part vendors because why not and I seem to have six gazillion stickers. Then took the car for a drive for 45 minutes to see how I felt about the SSP. Way better than the couch.

It also seems to have fixed that boost spike I was trying to track down.

I put a new timing chain tensioner on my S2000. Why did Honda stop making them externally? Why don't more manufacturers make them that easy to replace?

Completely reorganized and cleaned out my garage. A bottle of diff fluid that leaked everywhere sparked the summer cleanse. I'm sure I'll never get rid of that skunk anus smell that diff fluid is from my garage.

Sold a car....well Streetside Classics sold it for me on consignment. Man they really make it easy.

Painted the deck on the new to me f550 rollback.

Got some parts for my burb 2500 from the junkyard, plus a first aid kit from an old Benz.

It was supposed to be a easy weekend. Fix a valve cover leak on my bike. Drive the zephyr around to try dial it in. Instead the zephyr decided to spin a bearing. So I spent my weekend pulling the motor, running and buying a new motor and trying to get it all back in the car.

Honda has the tensioner behind a little access panel on the K-series so that you can pull it off and verify that the tensioner is, in fact, fully extended and the chain is flapping in the breeze.

Yusss! I thought they would clean up well. Glad they did.

Now get that thing started and go drive it!

Its monday, but still.

Plan for tonight is miata oil change and fix at least one leak in the duster.
