Ceiling Fan Complete

Well that was fun...
So after a lot of fooling around, then a day and half of chill time, I got the ceiling fan installed and yes, functional. Now we'll be testing this bad boy out this summer to see if he's all he's made up to make us believe he is. By the way, I don't know if the fan is a boy or a girl. I'm just making a blind guess.

Hang the Garage

This weekend has officially become the most productive that I've had in the past... week. I woke up early Saturday, drove around with wifey, you know, doing the things that husbands should do. Took her out shopping and tried to keep my energy leaves up. She loved it so mission accomplished on that front. Since the weather was warming up I decided to reorganize the nasty corners of the garage and found myself scrubbing all the winter snot the cars left and hosed down the floor. Next project I had for myself was a 68" ceiling fan to be installed in the front room. Right now the ladder is still up, which mean I'm going to be staring at it until I got the time, tomorrow night. Round 2 is about to commence... after some sleepy time... and then work... and then dinner.

Selling Rex

Last night I listed my Montero for sale so I can help fund my current rebuild. I spent a lot of time tinkering with this guy and I'm sad to see him go but I'm even more excited for my next project. Here's a listing.

All Done!

So after goofing around, I mean, while goofing around, I was able to help my buddy get his pickup running like a race car. We took off the skid plate, popped out the oil pump, realigned the gears and then made sure the rotor on the distributor was at cylinder number one. We put it all back in and started it up. PURRRRRR! It snowed today so I sure hope he found a nice parking lot to do donuts in or else it all would've been for nothing. Booyah! All done!

Timing

I spent most of Saturday helping one of my good friends replace his timing chain on his pickup. We were pretty much able to put everything back together, eat a yummy Qdoba dinner and jam on Rockband to end the night. The truck sat for a day to let all the sealant to set, then he put the fluids in last night, started it up and found that it was hesitating. He called me up and after thinking about it I remembered that when we put the oil pump back in it had a gear that ran by the crankshaft up to the distributor. I'm thinking the lack of attention on how we put that in is the culprit. But hey, at least we won't have to tear it all down to the timing chain. Pheww!
