I have a hockey tournament in North Conway NH this weekend. The kids are gonna have a blast running around the hotel and the parents will have almost as much fun. I'm bringing up a keg of my Dark lager and a bunch of different beers. Lots of drinking and eating. Me and my other coaches are gonna do a tailgate between games. Weather is suppose to be beautiful up there.
 
Lying in the bed trying to recover my mycoplasma, which is apparently the germ that causes walking pneumonia. My lungs are on fire, my throat is more sore than ever, and I'm coughing up ungodly things. Never heard of mycoplasma before yesterday when the doc in a box diagnosed me with it. What really pisses me off about this whole deal is that I was just fine on Tuesday morning when I went to the family doctor to get my yearly wellness check up. By that evening, my throat was swelling up and my lungs were starting to ache. I didn't really go anywhere else that day, so that's the most likely place where I picked this bug up at.

I had planned to keg and bottle three different batches this weekend before this so inconveniently happened. I guess it's another week in the primary for those batches. *sigh*
 
Just shut off the burner on strike water to get a haircut.
Found 12 waiting chairs full and I'm the 3rd standing and waiting.
Gonna make for a late evening
 
Brewed also but today successfully mated...I BS you not:

1995 Buick 3800 to
2001 Cavalier 2.2L F23 transmission using
Camaro 3.8L flywheel
axles from a 1986 fiero with outer cv joints from
a 2000 Grand Prix with the 3800 and
a 1995 Oldsmobile Silhoutte
all attached to a generic tranny mount
and a modified tranny mount from something I do not remember...

All to put a manual transmission in a 1995 Pontiac Trans Sport.

How much Duck Tape you use? [emoji23]

This time or in general? So far, duck tape is reserved for "theme" and attaching helmet mic's.

The van has already vanquished many "better" cars with the terrible 4T60E tranny. It was possible the worst minivan sold in the US...ever. As a race van, it is not not terrible. With a manual tranny, we can only DOMINATE! Now for gratuitous emoticons...:fro::ban::tank::):mug:

That's awesome!! As a once upon a time technician I love to read about your Frankenstein race cars. Only difference with what I went to school for and did for so many years is your racers have gas and plugs. Mine were coal haulers putting out 2000 hp and 3000 lbs of torque on a little Cummins B series engine with big boost and water injection.
Keep up the good work and best of luck in your adventures

Sounds like an awesome franken-astrovan.
 
Waiting for it to stop raining so I can do my rear brakes & other stuff for e-check. Lightning storm atm...now for a lil Sabbath...
 
Heading to my friend's Valima... Apparently Muslims split the wedding a reception into two events. The Valima is the latter. Sadly no alcohol
 
Installed recoil pads and cleaned my shotguns for a fundraiser sporting clays shoot, and a quick trip to the lake house to do some fishing. I suck at sporting clays but it was fun. Fishing was very very slow didn't even get a bite out of 6hours of fishing, however the weather was wonderful and the beer was cold and tasty.

As more than 1\2 my time and funds are poured into our lakeside vacation home that we got last year today we are going to pick up a 10.5' x 9.5' Steel boat lift that is at another lake. We need to get it on a 10 x 8 utility trailer. It weighs about 2000 lbs and first we need to float it across the lake to the boat landing with inner tubes. Then drive it to our lake an hour and a half away. The water is about 35 F too. Wish us luck!
 
Got some kegging to do on a imp. Ipa and dry hopping, just picked up a corny keg so pretty stoked to get this imp on the carb and in the cooler :)

This sounds like an adventure! As we say in LeMons..."What could possibly go wrong?"
 
Changing the drive belt on my 1980 vintage reel-to-reel, Pioneer RT-909.
Sad to report that when we opened it up, we found that it got damaged sometime in the many moves since we left Germany in 1981, and it no longer works as it should. Kind of like putting new tires on a car when the motor's shot. [sniff] :(
