    I have been popping in and out on my new fancy phone now and then keeping up with the happenings here but this is the first time I have been on a real computer in a month or more! Anyway I finally got my motor to the house for my wagon and painted it up nice. I haven't had much free time with new position at work and working on my mom's car which I think I fixed, it has been fine for last 2 weeks anyhow and these holidays have consumed more time than I wanted and now talk of my 16 year old wanting some kind of sweet 16 party! Hopefully I find time this year to finish the wagon. The new part of the garage is coming along nicely and got the tv hung and a nice hang out spot in one part! Have this weekend off but 90% chance of rain so maybe I will just hang here this weekend. :)

    Glad to hear you've mastered the cell phone internet. I still only use ours to TALK. Sometimes I have trouble doing that.
    Tedy, sounds like bad luck. Hope you get the van engine figured out too. Wouldn't a junk yard engine be better than scrapping the van? Sometimes they can be bought at a good price and around here come with a guarantee.

    Glad to hear that you are making progress on the engine and didn't give up on it.

    Did you do anything more to your mother's car to fix the issue?

    Even though I didn't have a code for it, changed the cam position sensor and everything has been working fine for the last few weeks. So my fingers are crossed that I got lucky on it.
