In my infinite wisdom I decided to work in the garage in the middle of the day yesterday...turns out that was a bad idea. Made good progress on the car, but didn't realize it was over 100* in the garage and I gave myself a little heat exhaustion in the hour I was out there. But the header is resealed and that's all that matters, right....right? Went to a party last night for my friend's business....10 year anniversary. Lots of food, drinks, music, etc. They played various games for prizes - musical chairs, darts, then they had a "strongman" contest where you had to bicep curl a roll of roofing tar paper (about 35 lbs). I did the most and won that...along with a $200 gift card! Not too shabby. All those years of lifting weights finally paid back in dividends I found out I blew out one of the seals in my trusty old HF 1.5 ton racing jack. My own fault lifting BILs F150. I really need a 3 ton for that. I took it apart this morning and pulled out the suspected o-rings that failed. Hopefully I can get some replacements at the parts store. I have my eye on a new jack, but that's $200 vs about $4. Decisions... Letty, very sorry to hear about your friend. One of my close friends did that about 11 years ago. Still think about him. You never know the struggle someone else is going through. Hope everyone has a great day! Matthew |
