Sheesh

[sukchew at cox.net (Chuck Blue)]

Well, I'm glad your day is not going to be a total waste..New used cars 
always have a bunch of things that need to be done.It sounds like you have 
the usual maintenance stuff that has been ignored for awhile.
   .I have been doing a good job of nothing lately.It's been to Damn hot to 
do much outside.We've had over 30 days with 100 degrees or more.I'm not 
complaining, It's just the usual Aug. in Texas.That's the price we pay for 
the nice winters.
I spent most of yesterday trying to set up my computer network and I think 
all I got was frustrated. Oh well,It's hard for a old dog to learn new 
tricks so I'll just go back to Hammering on shit in the shop.I have a new 
bead blaster and a powder coating set up so I can do a few things on Rose 
this winter.
  The Cal Bug is ready for primer but I think I'll wait a few days.I don't 
really want to spray it until the Temps come down a bit.I don't want to 
hurry it because of the catalyst setting the primer up to fast.hopefully the 
temps will be in the 90s after next week.Then painting will be a little 
easier.
   Today I'm going to give Rose a good detailing today in preparation for 
the VW week end in Eureka Springs Ar.Aug. 25,26,27.It's a fun weekend with a 
BBQ,car show, parade and a Sunday cruise through the NW Ar.countryside.
  Oh, I almost forgot.I'm going to BBQ some Ribs this evening.Come on down 
we've got some beer too.
Later,
ole blue

Its 5 am and I am wide awake. 3 hours before I can work on the car...
I already pulled one strut housing off the MKI, gotta get the other off, 
then swap them for the ones on the red MKII.
Harborfreight's wheel bearing puller will not be here for another 4 days 
(arrgghh), so I am swapping the parts to get the new car safer for driving. 
Then replace all the little "clipit" wire joins with solder and heat shrink 
in the engine compartment. Ohhh and check the motor mounts (F&R) to see if 
they need replacing. Ohhh and the other Disk on the rear brakes (Man... 
soooo much easier than drums)....
Next weekend, the E brake cables and MAYBE swap the 2Y (short ratio) for the 
ECN (long ratio) transaxles. Then the car will be a sprinter.
Well thats MY Saturday. See.... Getting ready for Cincy already :)
