What did you get done- Father's day edition

I was on call until Saturday so I didn't do much. I spent Saturday morning pulling weeds, and trimmimg shrubs in my flower beds. The rest of the day I went to a volleyball tournament with my daughter.

Sunday I spent more time pulling weeds, and trimmimg shrubs in my flower beds. I went to a 40th B'day party for some friends then came home and bummed around.

What did you get done....

Got a quicky wash on the truck from the Pantherettes dance team my oldest daughter is a member of. They had a car wash fundraiser at a local gas station. Then came home and did a real wash on it.

Moved into my new house! The basement is mostly unfinished. The front garage goes all the way to the other end of the house. I can fit 3 cars deep on that side easily.

Well I'm working my 4 nights so havn't really done alot. Put a set of brakes on my father-in-laws truck and greased the bearings was about the only truck related thing. I did get to play with my fathers day present some though. They got me a old QRX-7001 Sansui receiver. I knew I had those kids for something!

I sat around the airport waiting to return home from 'Mickeyland' in Florida. As soon as we got home we went to her parents house for a 'FathersDay' cookout/her dads birthday celebration.

I got home @ midnight & was worn out.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

It's a 502 c.i. BBC. We just sold the blower on ebay this weekend, and it'll be getting a pair of Garret GT42 turbos instead...

Well I took my truck down to a buddy of mine to install my gears...on the way my truck was rough sounding. So then I looked down and discovered I have NO oil pressure, I drove the quickest route to my folks place. Oil pump failure. great now I have another thing added to the list. Maybe I'll have my truck back Friday...Hopefully I stopped the engine in time.

do you actually have no oil pressure? or is you guage just malfunctioning? if you didnt have any knocks, i'd almost bet on the guage.
