I pulled the valves on the second head, the exhaust valves, and then went at the ports with the dremel and got them cleaned up nicely. I still have to clean the valves on the bench brush today.

PDC was on and some stellar matches happened.

SOOOOO, I went to the post office across the highway and drove the sled up the highway a mile then down to the post office to test it out. I let it run as I went in the post office and came out to see fluid dripping from the front. I got home and after a lot of searching found it. I had the car up on the ramps but didn't see the leak until I turned the engine on.

The transmission fluid lines that run to the cooler, the metal ones, had sprung a leak and was draining the transmission fluid all over and that was what was burning on the exhaust. Thankfully @stryeyz was in town with the boys and was able to stop at Napa and get me 6 feet of hose to replace the lines with.

Utd are such shit it's astonishing.

Another 9 Darter, this time by Price though he still lost to Littler.

Lol, they suck so bad they are nearly turning into a black hole.

THAT'S THE HOLE! I pulled the metal sections out of the car and replaced it with 3 foot lengths of hose.

Tray of whistles for Saturday.

What a pain in the ass, the hoses were NOT easy to get to in the tight space. I managed though and got fluids back in it and did a quick test of it on the highway. Today I need to give it a much longer test drive in hopes it is finally all good.

I had finished in time to get ready and then we were out of the house on the road to town a little after 4pm.

We stopped at Page 42 bookstore for a bit and found some books to buy then headed to downtown. We parked and crossed the street to where I pick up grain in the mornings.

Black Label brewery, who still had one of the empty barrels out front from my last pickup, is in the Saranac Commons which has a bakery, brewery, pizza shop, community spaces, and is connected to the gaming shop.

Stupid amazing the glass bottle chandelier hanging. Some badass old bottles.

I just had to laugh. Space queers....

It was handy I parked just right so we only had a 2 block walk to the comedy club.

Are you kidding me. FRONT AND CENTER. THANK GOD it wasn't a crowd work comic like Rich Vos as that would be direct line of fire seats.

There was a pretty good crowd for the show and we had a couple at our table who were rather similar. He a gear head who does custom turbo builds for imports, and she from eastern Montana/western North Dakota. Good conversations before the comics came out.

Duncan was great. I have heard his voice in so many things over 20 years now and finally got to see him in person. Most recently he is Hippocampus in Krapopolis.

The alleyway had a nifty look to it as we walked back to the car after the show.

It was a Thursday so zero traffic on the way home.

@stryeyz had a bit too much so went to bed while I went to soak for a cycle. The boys decided they wanted another studio a night.

Today I will be working on the truck, keeping the #3dprinting going, prep stuff for the craft show, possibly go fly? but it would be all the way south at Tekoa, the garden needs to be tilled soon, test the sled out, then figure out what to grill for dinner.
