As they say, make hay while the sun shine! It's already May 7, so really June isn't that far off. Enjoy the time with the wife. Don't get too burned or too drunk. You're close to getting the monster running, so when you get back to it, the heavy lifting is done. Maybe.I sincerely believe that this isn’t gonna work here right now...
For those that pay attention besides Dean, I’m now on day one of my vacation to puerto Vallarta. Currently in the air out of Houston.
After discovering the water leak, the thing went to bottom the the barrel priority for me....I tell ya its losing some of the appeal for me. The freaking sales job keeps me at work for hours after we close often now. I lost two off days last month due to it falling at the end of the last week of the month. And to the company I work for, everybody sacrifices their off day on the last week of the month. I’m off on Monday, and not only did I have to give up the Monday at the front of the week, April ended on a Monday.
I made 800. 00, last Monday. It’s very hard to say no to that.
with one hour standing in between starting and not. By the time I get back to him, Itll be June I fear.
Amapas! Imapas on that....
hoopty5.0, just check your settings.

According to my Welsh friend Ynys, it sounds just the same in Wales....
Great picture Mike. I've found that live and let live is a good idea. Isolationist policies often back fire. Altho' I'm a Second Tim the toolman 3:1-9 kinda guy, if I majored on the "from such turn away", other peoples view of my ideal holiday shot would look like this....who knows, Monk life probably created more Boy Fridays than a Mexican streetscape ever did.
It depends if you're a muggle or not........Im confused. Is the house there or not there?
How much fun would that trip be!?
The monster will wait, enjoy being with that sweet chick of yours. She's a sweetheart.
You know what, sometimes a break is exactly whats needed. Enjoy your vacation, and all the to do's coming up.
After the Op He's got Betty Davis Kneeees, and best of all with a Holiday, CMA won't catch industrial disease.....
Enjoy your Vacination, um, vacation.
As we say down here.....Leeky BarSteward, goin' on a Bally Holley Day!

Now Mike, let's not kid ourselves. I had an "hour worth of work left" as well, and I have worked at least 3 hours since typing that statement.
Well good for you, I am truly jealous. I've since added another 3 hours to that tally, with no end in sight.I'll forsake the daily update of how great it is here, and focus on the back comments from you fine folks today.
Firstly, thanks for the well wishes, I appreciate your comments.
nextly, to Collin.....im serious....the car was together....there would've been nothing standing in the way of a restart attempt until I came down there and discovered the pond under my car.
Fortunately, I cut the header flange in half. I only had to remove one half of the thing. It took all of 15 minutes.
I kept reassuring myself......" Imagine how pissed you'd be if the old turbo setup was covering that leak"....The turbo, two pain in the ass wastegates to wrestle off, a drain hose that was always one degree away from getting cross threaded, never wanted to start.....and even after all of that came back off,.....there was the strut tower scratching, 30 pound Medusa monster exhaust manifold still left...
I was almost singing to myself this time around...
I'll be ready to get him running after all of this lousy langing around I'm doing this week.
( I have officially become a lousy langer)
I gotta get the threads of that Bolt sealed and fill the cooling system back up to be sure it's not gonna leak anymore. Once that's done, I'll sing another little song to myself while I Bolt my 3 tube header back on, and couple it to my down pipe with the 3 v band clamps that hold it all together.
Then,.....ill stare at it for a while, set up a video capture so we can all experience the birth of my new reptile baby, and turn the key.
The future bus picking up, then throwin it back down, High tension line snapping, radiation breath spewing, city center destroying end result of one nuclear test too many.
The end has arrived.
The last full day here, and tomorrow morning is all that's left of this vacation.
I gotta tell ya, never in all my past vacations would I have been content to do as much " nothing" as I have done this time.
Something's changing in my life.
In reality, there's a ton of stuff to do if you want to, but EVERYTHING comes with a price tag attached to it.
We could parasail, but it costs this much..
We could go snorkeling, but it costs that much..
We could do an atv adventure, but it costs this much..
We could go sailing on a Catamaran, but it costs that much.
As long as you're content,...it costs nothing to do nothing.
We walked to one of the nearby communities to see if it might be an affordable possibility to buy a place down here...further away from the ocean, more towards the middle of town.
it ended up feeling like a border town.
Filthy, hot, and smelled like pee.
Uhh.... No said the monkey fighting finger.
That brought us back to this side of town.
And back in touch with reality.
You can buy a 1/1 down here with water " views" for about 150-200k. And at the same time be able to keep it rented for most of the year, which will more than pay your mortgage.
But why own a place that is somebody else's for the majority of the year, just to have use of it, one-two weeks out of the year?
Unless you consider that it could be an investment that other people contribute to on your behalf for 9 months out of the year. And at the rate they rent at, One week's rent pays two months of the mortgage.
That's what I'm talkin'bout Willis.
I don't know,......
All I know is that people flock to these places, and always have. The right place in the right place should be a pretty strong investment.
