Random Thought Thread

Ya’ll inspired me. Cracked some Aslan’s Batch15 and a fresh bag of tortilla chips, guac, salsa. Wife is making lentils. Lamb is going on as soon as I put the phone down.

I too am on the hunt for a good experimental to send your way. I’m also in for the night. Much appreciated yoko yoko ! Don’t worry if you can’t find it, the thought alone is enough.

I am curious what you have done under the hood since you spent that much time/effort making it look great.

Up until very recently not much. The engine only has 165k so was just doing regular maintenance as things cropped up. However, had it at the mechanic recently for a fuel dampener that needed replacing, so figured I'd have them do the injectors while they had the intake off.

After starting it and running for a few minutes it began making odd noises and stalled out. Apparently it jumped time (which it had done only one other time ~6 months ago) and in the process a piston came into contact with a valve or valve cover and some shit got irreparably damaged. So now I'm going to have the engine rebuilt. Yay. So much for cpk funds for awhile. 😁

Figure I've put enough work into it already to just sell it off. She was pretty crispy before the restoration began.

Looks good!

Was the original paint single stage?
 
Today's random thought...

When I was a kid, on Sundays I'd start dreading that I had school the next day.
When I was somewhat older, on Sundays I'd dread that the next day began the work week.
Now, on Sundays I dread that I have to work out the next day.

You just can't win. Maybe we should abolish Sundays.



(Of course, I consider it a privilege that I can still work out and hope to do so for a long time to come...with some luck.)
 
⬆️This is the spirit I hope to take away from life listening to those that lived it first.

Any one person I care to listen to anymore about how to live life (and I’m still just a pup in their eyes) seem to believe something along the lines of: quality over quantity, shooting for the long haul by living well, and treating others kindly. (where possible)

Grateful to have found this community at the phase of life I’m in.

It further communicates to me that on this holiday weekend we remember it is an independence born of two halves making a whole, and not the practice of extreme individual independence that seems to harm our ability to watch one another’s back even though we disagree on “the issues.”

Thank you to all here for showing me how to take the lead in life and live well.
 
Sounds like you've got the big picture, M Montshine . That alone will help you greatly along the way.

If any of us old(er) so and so's can be of assistance here and there...well, I'm sure we'll be happy to help out where we can.

It's good (rewarding) for us to have a reason to have faith in the future for our country.

Considering that I work out on Sundays, too...

Day of rest? Pssshhhh... 😂

While I can fully admit to the first two, I have to say I don't think I ever really dread(ed) the prospect of working out. It's one of the things I actually enjoy.
 
M Montshine

It seems we must've passed your way some years back on the road to Clancy to visit Rob Simonich. (It looks like it lies along the route we'd have taken out of Bozeman.)

Here's a couple of shots of Rob, and his wife Christine. I can't believe he'll have been gone 20 years.

I didn't say I don't enjoy it. I just dread getting started.

And while I don't do work out on Sundays...I don't take off any holidays. So, I got that going for me...which is nice.
