Guest Blog:Tim aka dad aka Mr. T aka the dude

Dad gives a shout out and update
Cam in, oil pan in, timing cover in, lifters and rocker arms in and adjusted (how about the cigar). Kuertz has a lead on an engine hoist. We need that so we can suspend the engine while installing the transmission. Cannot move forward without the tranny on. But in order for that to happen it has to come off the engine stand.

Leugers has this thing called a “fake Lake” so you can start your inboard on land. That will be smokey and very very loud. But that is a better alternative than going to the lake and striking out. Not that we will strike out but it is a huge time saver. Its getting cold here low of 40 Sunday morning (shit). Not stopping us but mid next week it will warm again. More conducive to boat stuff.

I have a few small parts to attach, but Keim and Kuertz have been the players. The belts and a few bolt ons are all that remain. Then the tranny.

Matsuzaka has disappeared. I am very lucky to have those guys. I would not have done it without them. And Tim Rovekamp is a true pro (with the cam bearings), its all in the tools as you know.

Peace.

My dad sent me this website. Good for a few laughs for multiple reasons. People of Sam Walton

There will only Be Outlaws

Taken from "Hells Angel's" by Hunter S. Thompson

There were a few young men that came out to observe the sights promised by the Angels that night. As they stood off to the side, one worked to courage to comment to one of them.
"We like your bikes"
"We do too. Its all we have."

Awesome book.
Better Picture.

Published: October 5, 2009
A woman whose husband is an exotic pet dealer was killed by a captive 350-pound black bear as she cleaned its cage Sunday night. The woman, Kelly Ann Walz, 37, was pronounced dead at the scene, in a rural area about 20 miles northeast of Allentown, said Tim Conway of the Pennsylvania Game Commission. Ms. Walz went into the bear’s 15-foot-by-15-foot steel and concrete cage around 5 p.m., throwing a shovelful of dog food to one side to distract the bear while she cleaned the other side, Mr. Conway said. At some point the bear turned on her and attacked. Her children and the neighbor’s children summoned help, and a neighbor shot and killed the bear, Mr. Conway said

I mean come on. No one thought that dog food was going to distract an under feed captive bear for long. wow part of me feels ashamed for finding humor in this the other part is still laughing.
