Well, Home on Saturday Morning, thanks to my old man the "Road Warrior" spend some time with the kids. Take car of some home business.
Get over this damm sickness what seems to be now pneumonia, back hurts, still fever cant catch breath, all the fun stuff......so home to get some "Mexican Antibiotics" ....really a 500 count bottle of Cipro from Mexico....cost in Mexico $8.99 made by Wyeth in the same factory the US counterpart is, stupid eh....here thats a $400 bottle EASY. But some antibiotics and rest, some kid time and 3 or so days Ill be right as rain as it were. People wonder whats wrong with the US health care system ? Greed plain and simple.....Greed.....greed of Doctors, greed of Pharmacudical companies, greed of medical supply companies.....greed....simple.
Watching "Who afraid of Virgina Woolf" from the bygone days when it was perfectly acceptable drink , drive and make accusations of significant import tounge and cheek. Wow.......how times have changed. 1966 but still Black and White....I dont think the film would have been the same in Color.
A very depressing movie, but an amazing job by Richard Burton...........surreal.....great directing.
A gret job on our part by buggering the second engine. Well......Its entirley possible it was a "true" accident....or an oversight on my part. either was effect the same, we tapped #6 exhaust valve, ever so slightly, just enough to cause about a .005 bend. Its possible the valve hum to full open (which is what it looks like) because a)the stem warped into the run b)there were slight interference issues on the chosen retainers for exhaust side after the valve job c)my rocker shim was a hair on the tight side.
The valve "tapped" at full open it can be seen on the rings it left on the piston from the angle. So it went back up easy, and dosent look like it was repetitive.
With my bike I have enough spare to put at least 2 usually 3 or 4 motors and drive trains together at any given time.
We will get there with the DP , and in some cases we do, but the DP specific parts, not yet, like the Redline valves. Oh well..
Gary Stanton is Red Labeling us a valve and guides. So....they will go In Monday or Tuesday in our absence, then Tue after the car is wrapped, hopefully they will go back in, and well finish the dyno time and off we go to Atlanta......
Today, Feel Better
Tommorow, Spend the Day with the Kids
Monday, ? -----
Just kinda playing it by ear.
Apparently there is a limit to which my body will allow me to function and Ive reached it.....so a quick recharge and Mexican antibiotics....and voila....I could also use a shave and a haircut, Im starting to look pretty dejected and kinda have the whole homeless migrant look down pretty pat.....but CLEAN CLOTHES, MY BED, MY SHOWER, Good to be home.......so very good....
