Put 'em all in a cooler and bang them around on the open water, labels rubbed off and they're the same to me. Now sitting down with a collared shirt on and I can tell the difference. Spin the bottle and Corona or Modelo fits good with what I eat. Heineken with a rib eye. My liquor days are done and over with. Back to the covid shot. It's been 12 hours and it feels like my 5 year old nephew frogged me on the arm. Mosquito bites are worse in my experience. A yellow jacket would be like a head on collision compared to this.

You can always self-medicate later when you get home 🤫

Very successful u-joint install on the transmission yoke with the ROCKFORD #430-10 kit. Pressed in beautifully with my small hand arbor press. The only tricky part is rotating the clips so that you have the maximum contact between the yoke and the clip. Some patience and very gentle persuasion seemed to work well with that process. I will now proceed with removing the differential end u-joint from the shaft, clean the yoke cap surfaces, then finish cleaning, priming, and finish coating the driveshaft, before installing both joints. I did not want to waste the time removing the other end until I was confident the new joints would work on the " NON-SERVICEABLE" driveshaft. I will keep you updated as the slow progress continues. Thanks, John-Lugoff, SC,

Natty Lite? Yeah Budweiser kills me. I like the Light though and love the Chelada. Used to be Crown Royal and ice... Makers Mark and ice. Now I graduated to Datsuns and heroin.

If it was something better than Bud, it might get me interested . . . . . . .

They should mix it with cdb. We all need some cdb!

Cristina Applegate's mom?

Thought you all might appreciate this 240z Buyer’s Guide video Hagerty’s put out 2 days ago. I think he misses a few finer points but overall he makes a good case for why one should buy and own on of these beauties.

The rest of that thread is great and also has a link to "Against All Odds, vintage racing footage of John Morton smoking the Alfa's.

I have no idea who she is, but I like @siteunseen's guess. I'm pretty sure the above pictures posted by @Carl Beckwere first posted here: http://www.the510realm.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=13223&hilit=chilliwack+datsun There are quite few other cool old pictures on there as well.

let’s take this to the PM. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Regarding starting your 240Z here's a snippet from the 1970 owner's manual:

I just sent you a PM with a referral for a very, very good Datsun mechanic in Torrance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol. That was, is @bartsscooterservice

So you have valve timing marks that show excessive slack. You have a poor running motor . Now you have valve train noise . Time to pull the timing cover

@Racer X , I posted that one a while back when they only had one pic. Same price still. Same pic's.

One of the guys at work came in with a Hello Kitty band aid.

Got it this morning. Felt nothing, didn't even get a Band aid. I'm going to get ahead of the hangover thing and drink plenty of fluids. 16oz Tall Boys.

Lot of body work has been wrapped up on the body of the Z in prep for final paint. Not very exciting to photograph, but the drivetrain it just about buttoned up.

Thanks for the perspective and encouraging comments. Mrs. Racer and I were long haulers this past 4 or 5 days. We took the oldest grandson's car to him in Fort Bragg, NC. Left Arlington, WA around 11 am last Friday. Arrived at Fayetteville at around 5 pm local time. 3,000 miles. 45 hours and change. Flew home yesterday. Bombardier something, about a third less wide as a city bus, 6 rows of first class, one by one, then two by two, no legroom. And no headroom. Made my knees hurt. But all seats were leather. Nice. From Fayetteville to Dallas/Fort Worth. A burger and a beer at Dallas, then a Boeng 737-8 to SeaTac. Fairly new, low hours. Wider than the Bombardier, but 2x2 first class and 3x3 coach. Still cramped, and made my knees hurt. And leather seats there too. Both flights they gave everyone a bottle of water, a moist towlette (70% alcohol!), pretzels for some, a double [str]cookie[/str] biscuit. Both flights were very smooth, nearly turbulence free. Saw a what I think was Talladega. Pretty cool. I took this picture in turn 4 at 155. Jeffery Earnhardt was driving, a late model Camaro pace car.

I got to take my babe to all the cool places I found to eat when I drove trucks, and grabbed a nice shower at the Oak Grove 70 Petro in Missouri, (Mrs. Racer was impressed) and saw America, in just under two days by car, and 5 or 6 hours by air. Mostly chilling today, then back to The Big Shed tomorrow.

If this were 100 years ago (like the flu pandemic) it would be much more of a field exercise in Darwin's theory. Snark aside, we are fortunate that it is not 1918 or we would literally have bodies stacked in refrigerator trucks in every city in the country.

Watching a soccer game in England. They decided to let fans attend under "strict" rules. Must wear a mask, must maintain distance, no singing or shouting. What could go wrong? https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20201205-premier-league-tells-returning-fans-to-avoid-excessive-singing "Chelsea's game against Leeds at Stamford Bridge, which starts at 2000 GMT, will also have 2,000 fans present. The Premier League issued advice on safety measures on Saturday, including a warning for fans not to get carried away when their team scores a goal. "Fans can celebrate but should remain socially distanced from people outside their social bubble," said the advice. "Hugging of other fans and high-fives should be avoided and fans are asked to be respectful to those around them, including avoiding excessive shouting or singing." Look at all of the noses. I have a friend who calls that kind of mask a chin diaper.
