Howdeee, friends. .......................................................................
I've been out working on old V-ger, today...Yepp V-ger is still in the stink bug position...But the gass tank is all cleaned and painted with new hoses and a new filter on the fuel pump... Who ever came up with the Idea to put a fuel pump inside a gas tank otta be kicked rat in the hinny, several times..........................................................................
Tommorrow I hope I can get under the old stinker (V-ger that is) and take off the straps and sand em and sprinkle some paint on em. maybe blue, sure be pretty against that shiny silver alumium paint job I put on the gas tank... Course Ya gonna have to crawl under to see it lol... Maybe I could put shackles on it and raise the back end like we did back in the 70's lol... Then it should get even better gas milage cause it be going down hill all the time lol..............................................................................
I've been in a lot of pain lately, I'm getting control of it some, but i feel dazed and confused most the time... Kinda like going into a room and wondering, was i comeing in or going out... I had a few real low pain hours the other day.... I still feel good, just hurts to move or walk, cook, think, lol.... I'm a mess I know.... How's that working for you? I read that some where lol some doctor on tv, gonna save the world lol, he's only in it for the money ..........................................................................
I read a journal today, thought that person was gonna leave DS. Think it kind of pissed me off... I don't like to see friends go. I noticed that I'm not alone this way... Several times when I move I had friends get mad and not speak to me or say good bye.... I am sorry.... Just for today, I kept my mouth shut and tried to move on a little... Now i find out I was mistaken, and any way a bit self righteous about being me... I'm working on it... I've been working on myself all my life. Hope I show some improvements soon. best wishes to all Russ

Hey there happy to see you were able to get out and get some stuff done. Don\'t be so hard on yourself if you can\'t get it all done. You are trying and yes help would be nice!!! Hope you get what you want done tomorrow but don\'t over do it! Especially since you have been so much in pain lately anyway. Plus the other feelings , makes it tough. I hope you find many more days of lower pain.
Sorry about the friend and leaving and what all that was about. I have read some myself, not sure what is up but things are getting stirred up around here. Hard to trust some people anymore. SO sad since it is such a nice place overall. That is right you are working on it and I think you are doing a good job!!! Improvements being made everyday. Just be YOU and do what you can do!!! Hang in there with the rest of us. Take care of yourself and have a good day!!!!
Russ,
Your not alone I have been working on myself too most all of my adult life.Sometimes I do good sometimes I dont.Life is like a fried egg if you like it well you gotta flip it over,and cook it on the other side.Its an uphill climb anyway you look at it.
The main thing is we do the best we can.. thats about all anyone can do.
Glad that you have gotten the V-er fixed.My husband and a neighbor worked on my daughter karins car once.The fuel pump was in the gas tank and it took those men all day to get that thing off and repaired.They had a real wrestling match with that tank and it had a full tank of gas Ugg.
I would surprise you russ I know a lot about cars was taught the hard way.My dad was an A1 body man and mechanic had his own shop for about 42 years.He used to make us girls his daughters hold things like welding torches,fenders,bumpers,do masking for auto painting,and polk our heads under hoods to help him for years.
I learned how to change tires,change the oil and check all the fluids early on.
Oh my how I hated having to help him in the shop,first of all he had NO patience at all and was paticulair as all get out.Was a perfectionist and we could never please him.I would sometimes manage to make him mad so he would run me out of the shop,and then I didnt have to help him LOL.
Far be that I ever felt very feminine around my dad.He would point out pistons and rocker arms to me once he had the head off the top of the motor.He was the only man I ever saw pull a motor and have the other one to go in sitting on the ground running without it being in the car.And ace mechanic could listen to a car run and tell just what was wrong with it.He wouldnt work on the cars we have today knowing him he would probley say they are all peices of junk.
He liked the oldies but goodies the ones with two and four barrel carbs and V8 motors.The gas hogs and land boats I call em today LOL.Anyway he taught me alot from the other side of a mans world of their toys.I loved him to death he was my sweetheart.
He would have old V-ger up and running in no time for you and if you couldnt find a part he would make one he was that good.All the good old mechanics have gone on now we dont find many of that kind anymore.Not saying your now one you probley relate exactly to what I have wrote.Because thats the kind of world you know the old good one.
Well tooted my horn long enough need to get off here.You have a good evening too.
Rachel
