I miss the Oldsmobile, need a good 4 hour drive in it to clear my head and reorganize my thoughts. I even miss working on it, it wasn’t as much work as it was constructive time well spent. Idle hands I guess.
Nothing much is going on lately. Things are not great, school has pretty much gone to shit. I am hoping all my credits will transfer to Drexel University okay, but I can’t get anyone who knows anything to give me some answers. I haven’t taken the Olds out for a ride in a month, I hope a decent day comes up soon, I need to get the tires rolling before it forgets its a good running machine. Seems old things forget that. Speaking of that, I am another year older. I am 33 now, not exactly where I wanted to be in life, but not as bad as it could be. I have always wanted to learn the German language so I got the Rosetta Stone for German and I started this week. I can now count to ten in German, and thats about it. I can also say “the girl is sitting on the yellow airplane”, I don’t really see a need for that one, but anyway, life will go on. Hopefully
Well today I felt like crap. Definitely a rough day. This afternoon I had to get out of here and took the Olds out for a spin. It’s running pretty good but not perfect. I haven’t been able to locate a accelerator pump for the carburetor without having to purchase a entire new rebuild kit, which, I just had it rebuilt 2 weeks ago but the kit that I had purchased didn’t have the correct pump. So the mechanic “borrowed” one from a Chevrolet engine. The Chevy one is a little too small but it does the job for the most part. So, today I did some driving, some cleaning and some polishing. Its looking pretty good, but, probably for eternity, its needs a little more. I would like to get some of the scratches out soon, maybe when the weather cools down a little bit. Anyway, I took some pics that can be seen here.
