Hi Bruce, and everyone else.....been busy around here.....First it rained and as usual the phone company had to be here three days in a row in efforts to fix the lines. Gets kinda tough balancing a computer while sitting on top of a phone pole trying to get the oh so wonderful, modern and convenient dial-up to work. I could kick the guy who said, "Green Acers is the place to be..." To pass time while the phone company was failing miserably, I put together and hooked up a plow for my ATV, that took two days....still no phone. So, I bought and assembled a sprayer for said ATV. Have been driving around spraying weeds and plowing over everything/anything that gets in my way. It was fun for a while but since there wasn't much left of my yard and the phone still didn't work, I had to find other activities. That was when I decided solid lifters would be better than the hydraulic ones currently in the Nova. Never realized taking the motor out and replacing the lifters and cam would be easier than getting it all back into place! Pieces parts all over the garage....and now that the phone works (until it rains again) the Nova will have to wait so I can catch up on e-mails and such. I wonder if the phone guy is any better with motors than he is with phone lines????.........
