Screwed up another residual valve for my brakes. This will be $50.00 in residual valves I've bought and I still don't know if it has fixed my brakes.

12 8) hours on the ship. Mostly colling my 8) heels waiting for the 8) Prime contractor to get his $hit together. Not really his fault though. He got the job SAT since the previous contractors were fired and the project is 3 weeks behind :shock:

Tore into the timing belt cover on my probe... The timing belt was mulched by a shot camshaft sprocket.
Ask me if this makes sense.... To remove it, I have to remove the valve covers on the overhead cams. To remove the valve cover, I have to remove the intake manfold/fuel rails/throttle everything/.... At this point I am surprised that I don't have to remove the rear axle to get to the intake manifold. Jeeps are easy and fun to work on, this damn car is a pain
The gaskets alone for the valve covers are $20 a piece. DAMN I thought that AMC's were expensive engines to work on. How much to replace the timing chain on an AMC? $50 + $5 worth of RTV. I am already out $300+ and not done spending yet....

3 hours wiring 39 pairs (7) small 
wires in a box in the overhead (ceiling) on a ship. One foot on a fixed ladder and one in a horizontal stringer straddling a busy passageway. Arms are tired!!

My sister-in-law has been living with me for 9months now. Doesn't have a car - so I have to end up driving her ass everywhere. Yesterday she comes home with a $200 tatoo. (nothing against tatoo's - I am inked). She doesn't have money for a car, but constantly has money to throw away on CD's, concerts and tatoo's? Time to throw her out of the house....

I am SO glad to be a &*#$!^@ Cat owner.
Warning! Disgusting!!
Don't read this unless you've a strong stomach!!!
Trying to eat my breakfast this morning & I notice this... SMELL.
Turns out my orange longhaired cat has a bad case of what we lovingly refer to as "Ick-Butt". (What it sounds like..Massive dingleberry problems)
So I have to stick the little killer in the bathtub & help him out. :pukeleft: :pukeright:
Then the little monster has the nerve to hiss at me & try claw me.
WHY do I have Cats???
Oh yeah.. I remember. that one sleeps on me. Which actually helps me sleep. (Drowns out the wife's snoring.) :mrgreen:
