It was only running on 2 cylinders to start with so after checking everything I found out it was the computer, so I smacked it and it started running right.

I'm rebuilding the engine on a John Deer tractor now and it only runs on 2 cylinders, but thats because it only has 2 cylinders. It's a 1953 JD 40 Series Standard. I've orered both rear brake calipers for the 87SE and they won't be here until Tuesday. Wednesday I'm working on a Honda, it's my wife's Honda. New timing belts, axles, struts, oil change, tune up, and all belts and hoses, and brakes. Friday I'm going on a service call to Delano Tn. to replace a distributor in a Dodge pick up. And sometime this week the parts for the John Deer will be here and I get to finish rebuilding it. I'm taking off tomorrow to get my back worked on and to help Gail finish moving some small items from her old office to her new office.

The man with the tractor is the man that built my work bench that will support a complete cradle assembly with a 3800SC and automatic tranny. He's building me another 1 but this one's going to be bigger.

Derek smoked his engine again. This time he dropped a valve and busted the edge off a pisten. The cylinders are completely worn out.

Yes, thanks, he's doing fine.  He's a little tender and can't lie down and stretch out.  He's sleeping in the recliner until the soreness goes away.  He was totally out of it for about 3 or 4 hours after I got him home.  Had lots of fun with him.  He didn't remember anything about coming out of surgery or coming home.

They gave him a small cup of coke and some graham crackers because he hadn't had anything to eat since midnight the night before.  After we got home I asked him if the foamy puddle beside the truck was where he had poured the coke out on the ground when I stopped at the drug store to get his medicine.  He stood outside the truck to have a smoke.  He said he didn't remember the drugstore. 

I then went to the kitchen and got the cup and suggested that maybe instead he relieved himself beside the truck in front of the drug store.  I assured him that if he did, they had him on camera and the police might be visiting him in the near future.  Had him worried for a while. 
There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

I'll call him tomorrow and tell him I saw him on the 6 oclock news outside a drug store.

When I got to the shop this morning I found 2 boxes of florescent bulbs waiting. I don't know who sent them, but they sure did brighten up the shop. Then on top of that Paul showed up and built me a new and bigger workbench. You can't see it too well with all the light.
