Hey Starlord
How's the truck/car coming??
I saw Jupiter last night for 10 minuets right before bed time. It was low on the horizon with some shimmer. I think I saw 3 moons VERY COOL. -- Hike High Mountain Fish for Wild Trout |

Hey Starlord
Well, after spending $55.00 for the needed tool to take head bolts out, I got
that much done. Now I need to buy a good 1/2inch drive socket to take the exhust manfold off, then I can remove the heads at last and see what's up and do a figure on how much time & $$ it'll take to do the rest of the job. So the 'Beast' still sleeps. I've had Babylon 8 set up for a few mins out infront of my trailer to look at Saturn, until I get too cold, then it's back inside. I'll wait on Jupiter until it's up about 8pm or so. I want to try that 4.8 neggler on it at lest once. I don't know, but the guy down in trailer 16 has two step vans, one he's keeping to fix up for trips, the other he's going to sell, I'm not seen it run just yet, but it would be a better hauler for the scope, I could leave it inside the van. I think I just might talk to him about it, see what his price is and if we can make a deal IF it runs. Hike??? Me Hike??? I used to but not now-a-days. The hikes around town are enough for me. -- "In this universe the night was falling,the shadows were lengthening towards an east that would not know another dawn.

Hey Starlord
As a side note, I got one of the heads off today, if I had the gaskets, it could
have been put right back on! But now I've got to work on the other head and that one is going to be a Bit*H. And with the cloud cover we've got, no viewing tonight. -- "In this universe the night was falling,the shadows were lengthening towards an east that would not know another dawn.
