Did a hot compression and leak down on the GTS today.

Most were 150 with a couple at 160 and #3 at 120.
Depressing part is leak down is 38% to 42% and it's the rings.

It's using a quart of oil every gas fill up. Light smoking and has started to foul the plugs.

My wife thinks I am weird on many levels. After we had been married for a while she asked how and why I bound out of bed in the mornings. As soon as the alarm goes off I pull the covers back lift my legs then drop them down on the side of the bed and bounce up. She prefers to hit the snooze and wait some. I am done with my shower before she thinks about getting up. I learned long long ago to not bother trying to talk to her and God forbid ask a complex question.

I am fully awake instantly. I can't understand what takes her so long. Even when I have been sick I still get up first.

Welp, looks like the GTS is getting the motor pulled. OUCH, there goes the tax refund. Assuming I actually get a refund.

Doing much better. All that is left is the skin peeling off my palms like a sunburn.

Get to go today to have the leaky blood veins in the back of my right eye lasered so they don't pop and cause blind spots. The doc did 1500 places last month, says there are about 1000 left. It was fairly painful last time on Tylenol 3. Kind of a strong ache instead of a stabbing pain. Going to do a couple of Hydrocodone this time. It is not fun and I am not looking forward to it (no pun intended).

Welp, I was sick of watching TV. We had three days of wonderful warm weather and I was only outside long enough to go to the curb and get the mail. It was 78 yesterday and that broke a record older than predates statehood. It was a 124 year old record. Today is more normal 50s for a high.

I am back at work drinking free work coffee.

Kind of hard for me to talk about you behind your back when your front shows up

They are all just a number.

The real trick is to NOT stop adding the years on. Ya can't help but grow old but that does not mean you have to grow up.
