Didley squat!

This is what I would like if I decided not to shave and I was part Arabian or I could be serving slurpies down the street at the local 7 Eleven convenience store. Now that’s messed up! 

Mom’s birthday today and Brotherhood General meeting . 

One year ago to this day I drove my 1963 Thunderbird home. It was a cloudy and rainy day, I really didn’t know what to expect getting a car that was only a year younger than me. Throughout the year I had spent countless hours fixing and repairing issues that cropped up or already had. It was a learning experience for me but also added the confidence to work on anything. 

It was fitting that I purchased a couple of NOS tail light setup for Josie this morning, sort of a birthday present!

 I plan on keeping Josie until my golden years. Hopefully by that time i would have done most of the work and restoration I set out to do.

Well… took some time off going out for my lunch walks. It started out as it was too cold, too much rain, yada yada. I decided to go for a walk after I ate and did the normal path and speed as before. I’m feeling it now. 

EDIT: even though it caused some d

I jacked up the BMW this afternoon trying to find the source of an oil leak. It seems to be coming from the driver side of the car but the leaks I’ve seen on the garage and driveway indicate a passenger side motor leak. It may be such that the path of flow down to the ground is being channeled towards that direction.

After further research there seems to be a common leakage on the left side valve covers that will eventually make its way down to the floor. I will see if I can get into it this weekend, start looking at BMW valve gasket kits. 

I stopped by a local smog shop that I’ve gone to before in the past. I figured they would be the best chance for me getting it done as a drive in. 

No problems passing smog. It seems the older the cars are the faster the smog test. 

The last few years weve been under a drought condition. The latest in storms has probably gotten us out of the restriction. So much rain and flooding going on. 

I didn’t have any rain on my way to work but yet the traffic was still jammed up on highway 99 where the floods have been these past few weeks.

Ever since I had the Flowmaster 10 series installed there was a distinct rattle that progressively gotten worse every time I drove the car. Today I jacked up the rear to investigate. The left side muffler tip was the culprit. I think the muffler place forgot to tighten it back down after the installation. The right side was on tight as I checked it. Once everything was tightened the rattle went away. Nice when it’s an easy fix. 

I also checked the air and set the pressure level to all four tires manufacturer specifications of 44 psi.
