Grandpa is on the beach in Mexico this weekend, so we are pushing through on projects. I just tore the deck off of his water tank/car hauler trailer, and hopefully it will be put back together this weekend. Of course that is going to mean less 59 time.

I read the shop manual on a valve adjustment a couple weeks back during a soak. Actually, I read the entire motor chapter. Lots of words I did not understand, but I will read through it again, it always makes more sense the second time around.

Might want to think about a cold valve adjustment while you're at it. Grandpa is going to hate all these extra steps.
