Always makes the food better when you have to wait for it while smelling it and/or watching other people eat.

Nephew took me to a place in Chicago for dinner. It was supposed to be really really good, his favorite place. We where doing stuff and had to eat early and got to the place well before the crowds and Zero wait. Ordered appetizers and the entrees were out in a couple of minutes. Barely even got to taste the appetizers. It was good, but not THAT good. Nephew even commented that it was much much better when he had to wait an hour to be seated and you ordered appetizers mainly because it took so long to get your entree.

I like Eichen's chicken and I don't like chicken very much. Went for lunch and we drove up as the doors opened, there was no wait and the chicken came out in about 10 minutes after ordering. Got really crowed before we finished eating.

Sharknado…..hilarious. The tornado pop up randomly like in the "my name is Ear" tornado episode. Think they copied the ending in Pacific Rim.

the front coilover: the top collar is not in place and someone forgot to use a retaining spring to keep the assembly from over-extending when the car is lifted.

Boot looks like an age failure actually. I'd bet they are original... Going to go ahead and do all 4. If I'm going to get nasty, might as well make it worthwhile. Not sure about the axle, It may look funny because the car is in the air.... But I'll check it all out good.

Yes the front coil. not sure wtf is up with the collar coming unscrewed, but its back on now. As far as the retaining spring... I talked to the guys at Paragon when I built this setup, and they said its really not necessary so I left it out.

Now tonights fun. Took the motor mounts off to clean the crossmember, and realize the mount on the side of the pan that was leaking is toast....

The one on the left is one that was on the shelf in the shop, and I honestly don't know where it came from, but its showing some age cracks in the rubber, so I think it needs to go bye bye. Thinking I will upgrade to the Lindsey ultra mounts while I'm replacing.... Even though I don't want to give them the money...

They look like two different mounts.

The one on the left is OEM, the right is a cheaper one. The blown one looks the same compared its mate on the car that was bought at the same time

My black girlfriend from Alabama told me once that I should have been born black and that my black name would be "tweesha".

Haha! So now we finally know the answer to "what kind of Asian are you?"

Pool party at tweeze's!

Jim Richards · 11-10-2013, 06:09 AM

We're off! yeah, I know, no need to say it.

tweezers74 · 11-10-2013, 06:13 AM

Jim, you make me smile almost every day that you post.

And yes, pool party at my house. After my run yesterday, I considered getting into my pool but by AZ standards, too cold.

The boys requested hot chocolate with marshmallows last night. In the high 60's by that time of day.

Rick V · 11-10-2013, 06:48 AM

Tweeze I can not wait to be able to make those forecasts. We have found several potential houses but gotta sell here.

Okay I gotta love the way kids listen then get upset when they learn the hard way.
Me: Guys don't chase that cat.
Kids: But we chase our cat all the time
Me: Uh huh but that isn't your cat. You don't want to chase it, trust me
Kids ( roll eyes at me like I am just an old man)
**insert cartoon fight noises**
Picture the kids running back into the den with a cat in hot pursuit and them licking their wounds.
Me: you guys like chasing my cat?
Kids...........

Morning all.

The engine is back out of my 911 getting yet another oil re-seal. The main bearing and pulley end seals are leaking.

No autocross today. We are going to a movie instead.
