Thank goodness!

My blogger had been acting weird. It hasn't been giving me all the toolbars lately, but for whatever reason, it has restored them today!

I spent part of my Monday at the house, part of it running parts, and part of it working on the little S-10 pickup.

When Trc re-modeled our house in 2006, part of the kitchen re-do was a new deep stainless sink, disposal, and faucet. While parts of it have been great, the disposal was always suspect. It seemed as though it refused to coordinate with anything attached to it. It didn't want to drain water in the sink unless the disposal was on. If you ran the dishwasher, more often than not the drain water would rise in the sink.

Krl kept telling me their was an obstruction. I didn't think so, but I wasn't going to argue.

In a strange occurrence, prior to the re-do, I had replaced the disposal only a few months prior. I had told Trc the disposal was "almost" new, but she replaced it anyway. Luckily, the old disposal was stored in the garage.

I retrieved the disposal from the garage, cleared under the sink, and removed the newer disposal replacing it with the other.

Reports are that it is working "wonderfully".

Krl was right. There was an obstruction, the disposal.

I was not satisfied Saturday when I installed the pan on the new S-10 engine. It was a cork gasket (which I don't like) and it felt like it "cut" when I tightened the bolts. I picked up another pan set and removed the pan yesterday. Sure enough, the gasket had cut in to.

I had a pretty productive time working on the engine. I almost have it completely sealed and will be moving on to installing the accessory drives.

I have had a weird feeling lately. While more often than not, when I get these feelings my skin crawls and it is a sense of gloom and doom. However this time it is like an eager anticipation that something good is just around the corner.

Hey I can hope!

Have a day! Parts store for me!

FATHER, please bless this day. To YOU be the glory!
