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.

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.

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.

Why did you think the heads had to come off?

THe Beast blew a head gasket, water in the oil or some such thing. Pretty hard
to change the gaskets without taking the heads off... g

Jon

Yep, oil looks like somekind of goo, all cream in color, mixed with water and
anti-freeze. Got one head off so far, gasket was in one pices, but showed signs
of blowby and would have blown not to far down the road. Now got to pull other
head off and THAT is going to a Bit*H of a job.

Nothing like losening exhust blots with boxend wench and hammer.
