I've been cooking for days. Homemade ravioli for last night and Pozole for today. I'm plum wore out!!

Kids had their Xmas morning activities today and have busied themselves fooling around with all their new stuff.

I'm headed back to the kitchen now...................
Dave, don't stop now??!! What about the Colt Country belated Christmas Party???  and New Years festivities? You've got some cookin' to do fella!! Hop to it.

Nope. I'm on strike for a while. There's plenty of leftovers for dinner for a few days. And as for New Years, we'll be firing up the oven and feasting on frozen finger food. Easy Peasy.

We will be eating on leftovers for a few days as well.

Burned a clutch out already? Maybe you should get a stage 3 clutch. It takes a day or two to get used to but once you do you will love it.

Not burned up Hawg. It actually needed a clutch when I bought the car. The pressure plate springs were soft, and the clutch released 1/4" off the floor. I knew it going in. It took a month to get the parts from Dodge. So I've been babying it for a while.

the clutch released 1/4" off the floor.

That sounds like an adjustment problem.

There's no adjustment at all. It's hydraulic.

There will still be a rod going from the slave cylinder to the clutch arm where you can adjust pedal free play.

If it's locked up it could have stacked a bearing or dropped a valve.

Off the evening of the 22nd, through the morning of the 26th. Check is gonna suck, but 3 days will be sexy... annnnd then.
Trying to finish the boss's presents on the 23rd, is my thought, he stacks my days with honey do's that pay. So much for a three-day weekend. Unsuccessfully working on them, and his gifts, decide to park the honey do's until the 24th and work on wrapping up the two projects I started in November.

I've struggled to attach pics and lost replies in the process; I will try again.
I work for Gold Ring Transportation, which is the "husband's" business; the "wife's" business is a Liberty Tax Service.
Honestly? they probably each have a hand in the other's, legally, quotations were used to differentiate.

While I was in training, I was stuck in NYC for 8 days, grabbed the DSLR, and only rudimentarily scratched the surface, liberty, ground Zero, hit some cool stuff.

Blew this up to 20" x 30" and framed it.
(will finish this in a second blurb, or third- after all we are catching up a few days here, lol)

I'm going to give up on attachemnts, and use weblinks. Good Hell

this is what I framed for the boss, on the tax side.
