Enjoying our new company perk for 2009 $5 labor fee on repairs in the company maintenance facility on personal vehicles (plus parts). There have been lots of oil changes, tire rotations and rear view mirrors stuck back on. I am getting my $5's worth A/C evaporator replacement in the OH's Ford - started yesterday said they would have it done tonight. Next week rear bearings in the BMW:P

Boy, that's a nice perq!

I'm just slogging along, trying to sell some washing machines, dryers, ironers, etc. . . . . I'm hoping this will be a banner year for the commercial laundry business in spite of the crummy economy. Dirty laundry never takes a holiday.

That's nice of you, Swamp. Hope you guys have a great time tonight.

I'm about to go pull parts off the delorean in 40F temperatures.. I miss the summer..

Hey, quit complaining. It's 19 degrees here . . . .

Me too. I'm changing my glow plugs and reaming the pre-chambers in 20˚.

I discovered 4 dead plugs. No wonder it wouldn't start.:D:D

I also don't think the wagon ever had it's pre-chambers reamed. The carbon is VERY heavy and burnt to the point that it looks like shiny, crushed volcanic rock.:eek: The carbon in the pre-chambers of the CD was heavy but it was flat black and velvety ... like I'd expect to see.

Lunch break over ... back out to finish the car. I hope the new plugs get here soon.

I'm freezing here. 29 degrees outside. Hope you guys have a good day and great rest of the week. january is almost over....

Sitting, waiting for class to start.....



Got nothing for HW tonight, no work, nothing..... Going to catch up with the little bit of TV thats been aired... Lost comes on tonight. :)

Well that was shocking.:eek: I can't believe how much carbon reamed out.

New plugs and reaming made a HUGE difference. The fuel injector lines weren't even completely purged when it fired up into a sputtery idle. Once the air was cleared, the idle smoothed out and it's running great again. :whew::cool:

crap, I'm out of packing peanuts... i need a lot more of these things to ship out delorean parts

Use popped popcorn.:cool:

yea, thats a lot of cooking time...

I just filled a box, 16x20x32 with two garbage bags of peanuts. Stupid trailing arm cover

i need to figure out how to repack that thing.. its taking too much space(shipping wise)

Just finished a very protracted pro bono case involving trying to protect an abused child, the same age as one of my daughters. Probably more emotionally drained than I can ever remember. Haven't even watched any Inauguration coverage yet.

Everything here is covered in ice. All our utilities are underground, though. That's nice after having to deal with power outages all the time from trees and limbs falling where I used to live.

Looks like the weekend might be pretty nice compared to this. Woohoo!

I'm going to get my BIL to go down to my place this weekend and make sure the heatlamps, ect....are still on b/c the generator is out of LP:rolleyes: I heard there was ice in the Rappahanock. Wife's in Phila. and I'm worried she may get delayed this pm coming home.
