Back for now.

Sounds like i will be online until the phone company says it is time to be canceled.I am canceling my long distance and using my cell phone for that.I only make 2 or 3 long distance call a month and it is a waste of money paying for something i don't use very often.

Saturday i started working on Michael's Blazer.I put the head on and the intake manifold without a hitch except for loosing a head bolt.Then i was going to put the power steering-alternator bracket on but the exhaust manifold had to be on 1st.I tried to put the exhaust manifold in where it belongs but the steering shaft was in the way.Took the top and bottom bolt out of the steering shaft but the shaft wouldn't slide.After a couple of hours of screwing around with it i finally got it to go in.Bolted the exhaust manifold in place and noticed i had the missing head bolt in the wrong spot so i ended taking the exhaust manifold back off and switching the bolts around.

I took me another 2 hours or so to get the power steering-alternator bracket bolted back in place.

What a pain in the butt.

All i need now is to change the oil,bolt the exhaust pipe up and have Daena come over and see if i timed it right this time so i don't bend any more valves.

1st snow showers last night.Woke up a 2:30 am this morning for work and there was a little snow on the ground .
