I think I just pooped a terrorist. It was brown and definitely dealing in biological weaponry.

I was happy until the last COP on the drivers side. I got it 95%% off.... then it slipped off. So now when I try to get the socket on it, it wabbles out. Space is too small for my hand as the COP blocks the bold itslelf.

Favorite chicken noodle soup recipe.... Go!

Buy 2 chickens. Old hens if possible. Spatchcock them at the spine and then sear the skin. Use bacon fat and make sure to salt liberally. Flip chickens over and lay skin side up in a pan that can collect juices. Under the chickens have celery, carrots, garlic clovers cut in half and onion. A little more EVO on top and roast slowly until just under done temp.

Let cool enough to separate bones and chicken. Put bones and juices in a roasting pan and add enough water to cover about half the bones salt bones and add any herbs you may want. Splash or 2 of soy sauce. I reccomend taragon as one of the herbs. Salt and pepper well, then roast bones in oven. Once bones are roasted put into a large pasta pot. If you have the straining liner use it.

Fill pot with water and vigerous bring to boil, then gentle bubbling simmer. Simmer for an hour or so with a closed lid. Taste broth and fix what ever needs to be fixed. Then strain. Bring broth to a boil and ladle over rice noodles and chicken. If you want more traditional simmer carrots and later celery. then add broth and veg into a bowl with cooked noodles (fat home made egg noodles are best). Make sure to keep the noodles and soup separate until serving.

two major problems. 1 - use duck fat, 2-don't ever boil it'll cloud it all up. Simmer is fine.
Huh..... I don't know about the clouding up thing. I never noticed...probably don't care much either. I also don't know where to get duck fat. If I did I would fill a bathtub and confit myself.
Easiest way to not cloud up is to simmer long and low with JUST the animal parts. Veggies take nearly no time and when they breakdown too much you end up with a stock that is clouded as well. The clouding doesn't lead to as nice of a mouth feel either. Raw animal coulds less than cooked. Definitely start all cold with cold water. Bring to near boil on stove and then plop in a 180F oven for 24 hours or use a slow cooker. About the only use I can think of for a slow cooker. Okay, one other. Fermentation pot if you've got control of a really low setting.

And for duck fat...http://www.amazon.com/Fat-Rendered-Duck-Lb-Pail/dp/B003UMZADC/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1367173037&sr=8-9&keywords=duck+fat

Ought to be enough for a bathtub :)

Lordy. Don't you need to refrigerate it?

I thought you wanted a bath?

She was all cranky so I told her I'm gonna rub my dirty hands off on her underpants if she doesn't shape up. Hehehe.

Sometimes the beatings are worth it.

Not nearly as much fun as having a birthday party over Skype with my sister and her 2 year old niece. She's going to be a handful, just like here mama and grandmother, heh.

That last spark plug would just not go in. It was like there was something in the way just stopping it. Craziest thing ever. Threads looked good. But it just wouldn't do it.....

The old spark plug had jumped back in the hole and tightened itself when I had to make a call. I know I took it out so it must have either been a really commited plug or someone snuck up and put it back in while I wasn't looking.

I really need to control my temper when doing things I am not adept at and are the wrong shape. I have taken so many breaks just because I am getting pissed.

Truly, never going to do car work without beer or cider again.

Seth/Ryan, I was waching some videos, and I saw a guy use grease in the connection between the COP and the wires running to them.

Is that a good practice, would it really stop any moisture? .

Dielectric grease? I always put a little of that on the plugs/distributor cap before reattaching the wires. Haven't dealt with COP yet.

Fuel rail won't fucking seat.

Now I will have to take the whole fuel rail off and get new injector gaskets. I have no fucking clue how to take the fuel rail off.
