Glad to hear things are moving right along at work. Sounds like you're off to a running start. The USDB should be a good assignment for you.

Great that you have a garage. Two decades of Army housing and we never had a garage. But then, we also never lived in one of the newer housing areas. None of the old houses (at least where we were stationed) ever had garages.

Good evening, Y'all! I didn't get a thing done today. I spent the whole day trying to figure out how to install the L32 rods and pistons, since they happen to be different than the L36, to no avail! Btw, does anyone know how the L32 rods go on the crank?

Dave, the house is now a no go! The guy's wife wants to sell it but the old man doesn't. I 'll be looking for another place anyway since I need the room.

Holy crap, Wil! Kinda late for a total reversal like that. Sorry to hear it. Would have been sweet.

Well, my mechanic keeps warning me of the infamous plastic manifold pinhole leak... so I figured ill nip it in the tail and go ahead and get the metal one... besides, I plan on a turbo soon anyways.

Turbo, sweet, I wonder what it would take to turbo my 3.9? maybe once it's paid off I will consider something like that!
