OSUT 261: Will the King be neutered?? Only Expat knows for sure

[ancjr]

The intake and throttle body are pretty well sooted up.... but that's a big job too....

 

[DoggyDaddy]

And I could replace the wires, cap & rotor... but i don't really think those will help much.

At 217K+ it wouldn't hurt to replace anything that's old.

I think the wires, cap and rotor is actually newer, but I don't have a way to know how old.

 

[ancjr]

I mean, I'd guess less than 10k miles.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

About bedtime for me. HAGN everyone!

The rear main seal is leaking, but not more than a quart per oil change yet...

Goodnight Mr DD.

Nite DD

Old folks across the way called for an ambulance.

All the dopers went wild.

Panty-waisted Nancy-boy! Just kidding... I had to put on my insulated flannel just sitting out here on the deck.

I built a fire and still felt better keeping on my hoodie.
Our gentle breeze is nothing like what others north have described.

Been a self centered dad this evening.
Tending chicken and sabanitas cooking, I was keeping up with the ND game on my tablet.
That was disappointing! Game, not the food.

We have leftovers. I'm letting the fire die down naturally, now. Youngs are still huffing s'mores. I had one marshmallow toasted as dessert.

Mostly cleaned up, now. Accoutrements put away. All is winding down. Only a few coals left to manage.

Going in soon to veg and fade in front of the 'bama game.

Better keep the AR pistol handy in case it tries to kill me.

I would do that anyway, but set a trap for the miniscule critter.
Outsmart it.

I got traps set.

Watching The Good The Bad and The Ugly.

Watched that one last week.
Not sure why or how, but it seems to be Spaghetti Western season.

I don't know if it's that the Leone Estate has released some treasures to the public across streaming platforms, but seems loads of us and not just here either, are indulging lately in the classic early "dirty" westerns.

I am an even bigger fan of Morricone than Leone...

Any question includes its own answer when you're working toward a dependable older vehicle.
Work out a rhythm, but replace or clean everything that comes off.

started a fire in the wood stove down here to take the chill off

Yep.
Both were masters of craft, but I'm a music guy from way back.
