ANYWAY....Thanks for letting my vent, I have no one to vent to, well, the dogs, they just look at me and wag their tales, no sympathy there "LOL!"
Furry, as far as a needle (stylus) goes, most audio/video stores carry them, or at least the ones out here do, ya know, Circuit City, Best Buy etc. As far as an organ goes, can't help ya much there.....at first, when you asked about an organ, I thought.............well, never mind, "LOL!"
Well.....it's off to work here in a few, Michelle won't be home till Tuesday, SO, it's just me, the "Lone Ranger!" Hi Ho SILVER...."AWAY!"

Well..as Rosanne Rosanna Dana would say 'If it's not one thing it's another'!

Sorry to hear of Michelle's mom being ill...prayers inbound from Oro Valley.The fighting with your daughter and 'ex'..well can we chalk that up to typical Hoilday Family Fare?Hope it smooths out.You are a great negotiator...maybe time to use it dude!
The Cell/Sideswipe thing is ridiculous.I swear,some folks can't walk and chew gum at the same time...it's 'Mutlitask Challenged' in PC terms.
Now...Chris' truck.Holy meltdown Batman!I know you were are crack mechanic in the Navy,so this should pose no problem for you...IF you have the time..right?Knowing you though,being a good Daddy is rewarding in and of itself.Possibly the Big Guy upstairs has some Holiday 'Work' for you?
I had the same problem with my old Lincoln Continental(66 ragtop witha 462cu in monster..aka 460 Big Block).The darn screen on the Oil Pick Up down in the oil pan clogged up after many years of smooth runnin'.No Oil Pressure...no Lube..no Oil cooling to the Valve train+a dirty radiator for the Block cooling=Thrown Rod(right THRU the friggin Iron Block!),fried Valves,Warped Head...and an oil pan full of metal...GEEZ LoueeeZE!
Had to buy a Long Block..pull the old Eng and R/R the oil pump,water pump..new Radiator,etc.What a project.She was a looker tho...so I had her done right..new paint,new leather,new rag top...and sold her right quick!
Don't know the powerplant Chris was running,MOPAR,FORD,GM?Gas/Deisel?
If a GM Longblock is needed...the '350' Chevy rebuilts are all over Tucson..in crates..cheap!remember..this is Tucson...home of the 'Hebby Chebby and the Tree Feefty'hehehehehe.
Ford Blocks and builders are more expensive...MOPARS as well.
Take care good buddy...and turn a wrench or to for me!
Vaya Con Dios!
