Belmont Ave. Hooker

That last posted reminded me of something odd that happened Wednesday morning on the way to work.

I leave for work a little before 6 in the morning. I get the pleasure of driving down Belmont Ave which, at least the stretch I drive, is the place of business for a LOT of hookers. Now, keep in mind I'm rolling through at six a.m. and there are hookers still out, these gals have been on the stroll all night. Gives me the hee bee gee bees just thinking about it. Well, Wednesday morning I'm coming up to a red light and an enterprising gal dramatically flips her hair to get my attention, which she does. I thought she was having a seizure anyway, when I look over she grabs the top of her soiled spaghetti strap shirt and yanks it down. Out flops these deflated fried egg titties. When your trying to sell your car do you highlight the big dent in the fender? No, of course not. Me being me I had to fight the urge to stop and take a picture because..well just because. Ugh! I just got the chills picturing that mess. I need a new visual!

Oh Shit! Can I make that turn?

Just hit a turning point on my old cars and I'm at a loss. I sold off The 20 Footer and also listed The SuperChicken and it sold. The idea was to band-aid my truck, share Wifey's car since she is unemployed, and build Rhonda my A100. This morning I started the band-aiding in earnest and when the oil pan came off discovered that the motor is more shot than I realized. Those old FE motors are tough. Both head gaskets are leaking a bit, the intake seal is bad, every other seal has at least seepage, and now I find the timing chain is looser than a Belmont Ave. hooker. Shit! I always said if I rebuild this motor I would make it nice. But, I'm not ready to build it yet. I really wanna start on the A100. Agh!

I could still brush back my mullet and band-aid it.

Or do I bend over and spend the money to build it

So now I need to make a choice. Band-aid FE or fast FE.

My day job.

My day job.

Oh how things change

So my trusty old SuperHawk is up for sale. I of course fixed all the little issues and now its a better bike than while I rode it. Ad says $2500 but I'll take quite a bit less.

I'm also putting the 20 Footer up Sold for sale. Again, I fixed all the remaining issues and it goes down the road really nice. For this I will also take a lot less than asking price.

Time to thin the herd and get on with Rhonda the A100 van that I have. Now that I've moved and no longer commute I find I have lots more time to work projects but, have little patience for working on stuff that's not for fun. Doesn't help that I wrench all day at work too.
