background story on fixing things:
we needed to cut a 3" U bend for Geoff with the chop saw. well damnit if the damn thing isn't working. turns out it must have ate the brush and spring sometime in the past. so we made one with a screw and a few turns of 0.030" MIG welding wire. worked until it bound up, then it melted too much of the screw... so we fixed it again, this time just shoving a awl down there to make contact with the commutator. and yes, that is me in my sandals making things work
best part of the whole day, IMHO... well and when mike finished the header.

next week at my place
hopefully it won't have gotten so cool that the pool isn't any fun (i'll make sure the heater is on so at least it'll be in the 80s), and of course, I've got a bunch of steaks jamming up my freezer.

Good eyes! It's mine and Kittys. You can see her in the drivers seat of our 242 while I'm under the dash trying to fix the rats nest of wiring.

friday is better than sunday for me, sunday is the day I study. My goal at this point is to have the car registered and smogged a few days before thanksgiving.
