Ow, the hydrocodone didn't work nearly as well as the tylenol 3. 800 blips of the laser and each one stung.

If I didn't do the eye treatments I would go blind, and there was a 1 in 1000 chance the drug they are treating my eyes with would blind me. That first treatment was kind of stressful finding out if I was the 1 in 1000 or not.
Sure glad I was able to get in a drug study program. Instead of having to pay for the visits and drugs and stuff, I get paid for each visit. The laser surgery today would have cost $2000. Since I am in the program not only was the laser surgery free, I got paid $20. The only difference being on the program is each visit I have to go thru and hour long eye exam before each treatment. The doc is real happy with my eyes, haven't gotten a needle stuck in my eye since last April.

Not having to pay for the treatment and getting enough cash to cover a meal isn't bad considering the alternative.

Any ideas on the bug? I put the new carb on, which is supposed to be all set right from the factory, and it WILL NOT start. Not on gas, not on carb cleaner. Nothing! Took it all off and everything is working right. Checked and I am getting spark too. I'm running out of ideas here!
And no, I didn't leave any paper towels in the intake! |

It must be the computer!
Dude, getting a old VW bug to run is like a lawnmower. Did you check the points and condenser? I have an old dwell meter you can borrow if you need it.

No points as it has a pertronix electronic ignition. The carb was full of gas when I pulled it back off. I'll check the timing, but it shouldn't have changed since all I did was pull the cap off. Plug wires are correct. I checked that.

Coil? Coli wire?
Pull the pertronix electronic ignition and put in analog points and plugs. Those always can be made to work.

Is it getting fuel for sure and the timing is correct?
Are the plus wet with gas?

Fcuk fcuk fcuk fcuk!
bloody bolts on the tojo steering rack are giving me curry. Got all but two with the rattle gun. One I had to hit the nut with a torch before the bolt would move. The last bolt wont budge. Tried heat, hitting it, the rattle gun, even a few choice words. I've now been pushing and shoving so hard I've pulled a muscle in both my neck and my left tit. Almost blew out the sphincter! Got some penetrating oil in it now and I'll have another crack at in the morning. Time to get on the turps and forget about it for a while. I did pass my road rules test (with 100%) today, part 1 of getting a motorcycle licence completed, part 2 to complete next weekend. Gotta spend a day and a half doing riding theory and practical classes and tests. New hot water unit in and appears to be all honky dorey. Now it's hurry up and wait for the gov rebate.
