Chair-man of the bored Homestead USA 33760 Posts Member since: 2007/12/10 0:00	July, the seventh month. Half a year gone. Have you accomplished your goals this year? How are those New Year resolutions coming along? If you were me, everything I said I'd do this year I've accomplished. I didn't make a list so it's that much easier. There are wants and needs as we all know. I hope that everybody's needs have been met. If you are able to secure some of your wants, all the better. Enjoy the moment, your not gonna get this one back. I'm one of the lucky ones. This easily could have been me. (no joke) Attach file: homeless.gif (74.46 KB)

I'd like to finish up the car, too. I tinkered a little bit last night and hopefully I can put things back together today. Should be a nice day to work in the garage and finish the pool, clean up the house after that. Hope everyone has a great day! Matthew

Been a nice change of pace this week. The market is being nice to me this morning for a change, too - should quit while I'm ahead. Last work day of the week, hope it goes by quickly. Enjoy your day, everyone!

Not much going on today for me. I have some work out in the shop...but it may wait until after the fourth.

Don't have a time yet but I hope it's early that way I can beat the traffic both ways. She is having some work done on her radial nerve in her left arm and then some surgery on her hand for carpal tunnel and trigger finger. I can understand why she has trigger finger having lived with me for 27 years.

Elite Guru Granger, Indiana 1988 Posts Member since: 2009/8/9 1:43	Good Morning! July already! Sunny high near 80 low humidity. Picked up a new Acer last night 5810TZ. Nice unit. Ill play around with this today! No honey do list, welding class is over, vette is washed and waxed,wifes car is waxed wow not much to do today! Think I'll take a nap! Nah I better clean up the shop. Lowes whats to replace my trashed Troy Built pressure washer which is under extended warranty, however since these things last about about 4 hours of run time I'm thinging about getting my money back and buying a HD electric unit. I know this is going to cause drama with the Lowes manager. Teebee and Andy your right the Acer seems to be the only choice when comparing features/dollar. I have a three year old Gateway that is now owned by Acer. Have a great day! I think I'll head over to Lowes and create some drama

Took it for a test drive. Holy crap it's a beast! Still not done, yet, I know that. There's more in it, and the tune isn't 100% yet. But it's getting there Matthew

I don't think they forgot to do it. All the valve were adjusted the exact same. They were all loose the same amount, which was very little. I think the difference was the builder adjusted them on a motor with no oil, just assembly lube, etc, and I did it on a motor that had already been run. The burnt plug wire I found had more to do with the lack of power. But it's idling better and rips the tires now. Matthew
