Thanks, Tom! Hopefully that is all it is.

Heh! Its funny you should mention that. I was planning to reply
to your message way back when where you offered to do maintenance type
things that needed to be done; I was going to reply with an exhaustive
list of all of the stuff I need to do - ha ha ha. Unfortunately, I
just never had the time to even create the list! I mentioned this
problem to Jason, and he suggested that perhaps the first item you
could do was to create the list of things for you to do. ;-) So,
yeah, if you could go ahead and do that, that'd be great, mkay? :-)
Lesse, just off the top of my head (and this means I am missing
lots of stuff), not including projects which have yet to be started
like the coronet, Bob's van & moped...
'47 Willys
- Engine does not want to idle and stay running
- various fluid leaks
'70 Dart
- Still in winter storage
- Electrical short somewhere
- Trans needs a band adjustment I think
- Carb needs rebuilding, then tuning
- Bungs need welding into the exhaust for my wideband O2 tuner
'70 Barracuda
- Still in winter storage
- Needs finishing
- Trans leak
'90 Dak
- Has an oil leak on engine, valve cover maybe
'92 Ram
- Trans cooler line busted, needs replacing
- CAD/4x4 slipping problem
'96 Dak
- Paint problem on roof
- Rust spot to address
'96 FireFly (ultralight)
- Still in winter storage, and unfortunately I am thinking about
leaving it there this year since my free time is not looking
good. :-( Only flew it twice last year and once or twice
the year before, which sucks.
'96 Intruder (motorcycle)
- Still in winter storage. Sure could use the 40mpg this one provides!
'99 Cherokee
- Has a rust spot I should address before it gets too much worse
'01 Ram
- Needs new tires
ALL of the above are in need of safety/emissions inspections since
they are all expired, also most of the above are in need of various
fluid changes such as oil, trans, etc.
Anyway, like I said, that's just off the top of my head, I'm sure
I missed a bunch. Plus there is the various farm machinery,
lawnmowers, etc. which need servicing, general yardwork and
maintenance, a house that isn't remodeling itself, building a proper
office and data center in the shop, work (full time job 1), work
(full/part time job 2), work (part time job 3), work (part time job
4), there is a lot more, but I'm going to stop thinking about it now
before I slip blissfully into insanity. ;-)
