I wish . . . 3.5 weeks and I still have the shakes.
Bill H.: The car is not running yet. I had my friend order the part on Satuday (while I was touring Fort Colonial Michilimackinac) from Autohausaz.com and they couldn't ship it until Monday (2 day - can you believe that UPS ground gets from AZ to HI before it gets from AZ to MI). So today I should have received it today but my wife wasn't there to pick it up so I have to stop by the UPS distribution warehouse tonight between 7:45p and 8:45p. I don't finish with church youth group until 8:15p, it's about a 25 minute drive, and I was supposed to meet with my Pastor to talk about a new bus we are considering. I'll figure some way to get it tonight and then my dad and I will try to install it before Law & Order. I forgot to order intake gaskets so I called Monday and emailed autohaus to get them added to the order but they couldn't include them in time. They cost 3 times as much around here ($36 total) so I was going to wait to change them until my next order from autohaus (probably coils next month or so). The gaskets really are in great shape. They are perfectly formed and still a vibrant bright blue. I'll look over the previous owner's documentation to double check when he last changed them. Is that going to ruin my car?
Mackinaw was forgettable as always. I say, keep the horses but allow electric carts, so the smell isn't so bad. One section of road on the way to the condo was completely drenched in horse feces and urine for a quarter mile and that is no exaggeration. I also saw Somewhere in Time for the first time: too many logical gaps for my taste.
I am familiar with the yugo accident but I try not to mention it to my wife, who is terrified of bridges. I just love the metal grate inside lanes. There is something exciting about driving 100' above water and being able to look down at it. On the ferry ride back from the island I was telling my wife that ferry boats are unsafe which is why I always choose to stand on the top deck, and then we found out about the disaster on Lake George that night . . . very sad.
I probably could have just removed the fuel rail and the rail with the electronics but I didn't know how to remove the injectors. So I just lifted both rails, injectors, and all the electronics.
If you don't hear from me tonight, I was in a sour mood because I didn't get my part.
