Pete, right now I both of my ear lobes DON'T HURT. Pretty much everything else does.



It was tough to roll out of bed this morning. My leg muscles are real sore. I probably got on my knees a million times and got down to lay on my back another million. My mother told me a million times to never exaggerate.



Tonight the real dirty part starts. Parts washing. The intake is caked with 300K worth of grime. The distributor was obviously leaking. There is a thick layer of baked on oil in the back of the engine.



Rick, what is your favorite home parts cleaning method when you don't have a big commercial parts washer handy?

Glen if you want to drag parts out, we have a solvent washer. We also have a big azz hot pressure washer you could borrow.

So maybe I can buy from you, Stijn. The electricity prices in Sweden are ridiculous.

Don't think i'll have much to spare for resale though, i only installed enough to get by myself

over here, electricity cost breaks up into
electricity 6 cts / kwh
distribution 14 cts /kwh
transport 2 cts / kwh
(roughly)

So essentially the cost of energy is not so much the electricity itself, but the rest.
And for a large part the distribution price went up from all the solar installs requiring an upgrade of the localized grid..

Thanks stijn.

On the brighter side of life, I'm back in the game. My neighbors 21yo blonde daughter was flirting with me this morning when I walked the pup. And, last night, a buddy comes in to the cigar lounge and tells me he's setting me up with this girl he knows. She's actually a bartender at one of the places TEB and I used to go. Very cute, 30 or 31, legs that could stop a freight train and sweet...

Sid & Richard. I have a power washer. I will take the parts off that I need to swap and clean just them.

Does yours burn more diesel than most pickups?

We have a HOT washer, it will take grease, paint, flesh, whatever else you need removed, off.

the dillon is setup.. well for now.
should not have been so cheap and ordered me the strong mount from the get go..
It just wiggles to much without , can't use the front mount holes on a regular bench and the added height of the strongmount won't hurt either.

Just ran a 100 or so shells through the case feeder, with the de-capping die installed.
Boy this will be fun..that cheerfull "pling" when yet another one ejects and drops in that blue plastic box is addictive to say the least.
