So Close...

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAAAAAY! 

Just to check up I called the machine shop again yesterday.  The engine is only bout a week away from completion.  All the parts are in and everything is moving along well.  I have been asked to bring the oil pan in as well to have the seal put on.  And they'll clean it up too!

Here's the clincher...  I'll be in Cleveland for two weeks.  Oh the timing...

For your viewing pleasure in the meanwhile, please enjoy my Halloween costume pictures.

This took about a week of evenings to make

About three cardboard boxes were sacrificed for this creation

The headlights and taillights really do light up at the flick of a switch

Get it?

Newest Acquisition

I found this contraption for $100 on craigslist.  I thought it was such a great deal, and it is!  But when Collin put it together only then did I realize that it is huge!  It's a two ton hoist!  My tiny 100lb is going to look so goofy hanging from that hook!  The hoist could theoretically lift the Hondamatic in its entirety.  Then the house! 

Owning this chery picker pretty much means that Collin and I are are now required to buy broken vehicles just to take the engines out and fix them. 

For the rest of our lives. 

Pretty cool!

TWO TONS!

OMG! What weighs EIGHT TONS?
