Required removal of motor. 125k on odometer. Pan's off, do rear main, intake,removed AC compressor, and alternator, cover gaskets ,water pump etc.

This is how we operate at our shop for the fleets. It's retarded to tale half the front of the motor apart to get to ONE pulley.... do all of them while you're in there, or you could get hosed for the same labor in a couple of months to do "another" pulley. It just makes sense and saves money in the big picture. We really do take care of our fleets with decisions like these, our customers trust us and we never sell anything that shouldn't be done. We also take care of some stuff for free, believe it or not.

Sure is a good skill to have though. I need to get under the hood and under the cars more often and start figuring stuff out.

That's okay, you make me feel like I don't know how to build a planter box like a brick shit house.. lol I'm sure you're doing fine in your own right, brother.

And HOWDY howdy fellers. :)

Met the first of my new neighbors tonight, similar age couple right next door....they just moved in a few weeks back. Seem really cool, and look forward to getting to know them and becoming friends. Ed and Katie.

Don't even ask, yeah, I'd do her....lol. Ed seems alright, has the chance to be as cool as you guys, but that remains to be seen ...ha!

I plan to take some small tokens of friendship to all of the immediate homeowners, exchange some ph numbers for emergency type purposes and stuff like that.

You know, a bottle of wine or something similar.

Anyways, gonna be packing up more stuff each night and hauling it to work, then get out of work and run it to the new pad. Try and make a larger trip with the trailer again on saturday morning, and then wait for the furniture to be delivered.

I also hope to get a free satruday to get down to the renaissance festival for some steak on stake and butt tons of beers, before they close that down for the summer. Nice cleavage down there..

:D

The best gift ideas for that neighborhood. Condoms, KY sensual lube (don't wanna be hip deep in a hipster, without Plan B) , rechargeable batteries. Now for Katie, mmmmmmmm subscription to Spikes TV?

On a serious note, don't get to friendly with them, OR hint you have guns.
