The good news is that I finally got the water pump off of Frankenhealey.
The bad news is that the offending bolt has now snapped off flush with the block, which is a major pain in the ass, leaving only a couple of alternatives. First drill a hole in the remaining bolt and use an easy-out to get out the bolt. Or Drill the remainder out and heli-coil the block to restore the threads. Either one is a giant pain in the ass, but remember you are talking to one of the worlds most stubborn.......(make that persistent) individuals. I will win in the end.
Other than that, the weather is incredible. Blue skies and the temps in the 70s.
Saturday we are going with the band to Maple Lane for a show. It will be great to see everyone. I will survive the industrial swill the feed us, will go home tired and sore.
Then next weekend we are going to the Lake Quinault lodge. We will be staying in the Boat House, a separate small annex, because it is "Critter Friendly". Mrs A. can take Molly along. I hope the weather is halfway OK. I mean it IS a rain forest, so it's probably going to rain. Just so it is a drizzle and not a gully-washer. I want to get in some hiking and mushroom hunting.

Fun, fun!
oh... I'd go with 'stubborn'. lol.
Even if it DOES rain, just getting away is worth it though, right?
Sue: Am not stubborn, and you'll NEVER convince me otherwise....
PQ: If you are going to a rain forest and don't bring rain gear, don't blame the weather. Besides, we go for the peace and quiet.
Oooo, no fun. Good thing you're "persistent" enough to win out over a hunk of "stubborn" metal. :)
Sarah: A chunk of metal will never be more "persistent" than me. Water will wear down a mountain, given time and persistencec.
