Great, Chuck. We have a breadmaker--it is GREAT!!!!! For my part, I got
some really cool clothing--pants, shirts, and a pair of great Sebago
in-between dress/work boots. Also a nice set of Craftsman Screwdrivers,
Craftsman 1/4" Socket set, and Craftsman locking-plier set (their version of
Grip-loc pliers). I was very unsuccessful at getting and receiving my
"confirmed" order of a brake line flaring tool kit from Mi**Man*a, even after
many attempted phone calls and an unanswered e-mail sent two days ago after
their website became functional again. I will let you guys know if they ever
seem responsible enough to respond.
Off this morning to pull the Midget's (daily driver) engine and tranny. Have
to seal up everything with new gaskets, repair the aluminum block the front
of the oil pan screws into, new timing chain, and renting a power
steam/cleaner to blow all the oil off everything. The complete undercarriage
and engine compartment, wheel wells, and seemingly everything else is coated
with oil and black sludge from the gushing leak. Also radiator to radiator
shop to find leak there, and new attempt to find leak in the brake system
that keeps rendering my master cylinder low or out of brake fluid. It seems
to lose more while sitting still than when being driven. Anyway--something to
occupy my time for the next couple or three days.
