Got a Free hot tub from some friends. Jacuzzi brand, 110v,,, But, it cost me $165 to move it to my ranch. Ha ha,,, free? See a Bull looking for a cold drink. It is 100 in the shade today. No need to heat it. I like to call him, "Whole Lota Bull." Edwardo Image Unavailable, Please Login
Hmm Than I prefer the deer that run in the woods behind my garden. Please no bulls in my pool. Oh, forgot, got no pool. Got to call my friends to enquire after my free pool... By the way: why aren't you in the pool? 100 degrees?
Bart man, I had just topped it off, went in to grab my towel then Whole Lota drank about 5 gallons and drooled in it. Good thing water is cheep from my well. Ha ha Yes, I chlorinate the pool. No chance of Guardia from the deer. I might move it into the dog run,, but, the deer could still get to it,,, also, I like it under that oak tree. What about a cover...?? Edwardo
Whew! Well, all my Work is Done,,,, for now. Back on the Hobby,,, the Ferrari. Remember, I'm having fun....?.. Ha ha New valve springs,,, ? Weaker and shorter.... Tested my Old 1981 springs,, perfect,, so, I had them steel shot blasted, for reinstallation. See me measuring Valve spring closed height. I went with Factrory sized Exhaust valves,, New. But, I didn't like my factory Ferrari Intake valves. So, ha ha, another," While you are in there deep." I sprang for New Ferraea Racing Valves, 42.37 mm head diameter. Remember, to get your Military Discount vets. Thus, the heads are back in the shop for some New Inlet Valves and some very mild inlet porting. Image Unavailable, Please Login

Back in the early 1990's rented Mexican Beetle for touring out of Cancun. I was curious about it. It had throttle body fuel injection, swing axles, looked and smelled inside exactly like my aunts 1965 did back in 1968.
You have cayotes where you live? My neighbors are paranoid about their chihuahua's and the local canids. I am paranoid about stupid turkeys splatting on my windshield. Happened to my neighor's large camper van at 55mph. SPLATTTTT Ended that trip right away.
Found this Downey Woodpecker Female in my driveway. She is flame orange on the bottom,, dayglo really. I don't know what killed her,, traffic moves at 25 MPH,, looks like a broken neck. All her parts are there and Seem fine....? Maybe some Magpies killed her, they are very territorial. I called the local College Biology Dept., but they are on spring brake..... She is in my fridge ,,, for now. If they don't call, I'll feed her to my Red Tailed Hawks. After, I get some tail feathers for some dream catchers. A woodpecker in your private drive must be Lucky, or from God. I found my 308 motor oil sump screen and locking ring. And, found some cash......,! CaChing....! $$$$$....!!! Whew,,,,! More progress to follow next week. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Yikes! Wouldn't want to see the end result of that one. Here in Suburban Plano we have all kinds of wildlife - including coyotes. however, they are mostly nocturnal. I see them roaming the allys (we have alleys with garages on the back of the houses) at night. The squirrels are actually more aggressive than the coyotes. I've seen them multiple times, sitting on top of the fence, taunting and screaming at my dogs. Drives the dogs crazy. The hog invasion is also getting closer. Just 5 miles up the road, a buddy with a house under construction had a herd (is that what you call a bunch of hogs?) come through and trash the neighborhood. Sid
Motor on the Transmission. And, home made crane. Not for the faint of heart. Image Unavailable, Please Login
This looks like an A-Team approved construction. But wait untill Colonel Deckers passes by... Err, the cost of a decent hoist doesn't weigh up on the mayham this setup may cause... No? It looks like you could lose some fingers when it snaps or collapses. Hopefully all went well!
Edwuardo you are MAGIC !!! And for the people ???? I want the LED LAMP for my Mondial T cabriolet 1992 !!!
Bart, All went well,, had a friend over for the final lift. I guess that lump weighs about 200 lbs,,, couldn't see getting a crane for that. Ha Edwardo Now the rear Engine Cover was a bigger pain. But, it is on and the transmission rotates smoothly. Whew again,,, baby steps, don't miss anything.... Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thanks for the compliment. Almost 8 years ago, I drove this Mondial into my Garage. Ha ha Getting close.. And, I'm getting excited too. My LED Lamps need to go in the FerrariAds and then on fLeaBay. Let me test drive them first. Another fun project. Edwardo See a baby California Quail I had in my house overnight,, back in its brood now. The hatchlings are everywhere.
