Friday night Brother Jim, his 2 sons, and my Mom drove in for the weekend.
The excuse was that I had 2 days off in a row, and some new heads in the
garage for the Monte Carlo. It was great to see everyone. we had a real nice
visit. Jim and I spend from early Monday till mid afternoon working on the
head swap. Zach helped with some all important young back muscles for
torquing. Nate was in the drive swapping his winter wheels to the summer
versions. Mom watched it all from the drive, and Cindy was taking advantage of
the beautiful day cleaning up in the garden. It was a beautiful day at nearly
70 and sunny for the most part.
The swap was a success. No more smoking on the start up, and it runs real
smooth.
Big thanks to Jim for all the help and making the trip of 7-8 hours each
way to help out.... and saving my back. Thanks to Mom for the dinner last
night. It was just great to see everyone too.
