schnittke;
I think for me it boiled down to being afraid of the extra responsibility
that success offered. When I was a kid and I got fed up with how ratty my
room was and clean it up, my mom would say s**t like "Now that I know how
good a job you can do I expect it to be done like that all the time." Thanks
Mom.
We going in for an exploratory on the maroon this weekend. Things I know:
1. Tiny green bubbles on the head just under the valve cover over #2
2. Bad rings (unless I cock the oil filler cap, Old Faithful out the dipstick)*
#1. My fualt
#2. S***head PO
On the other hand I finally tried my hand at a chicken kiev tonight and the
look on Jette's face after dinner was worth all the trouble. Washed it down
with a beaujolais blanc and I feel totally sated.

* Which brings up a question that I still have yet to formulate, but if
someone heads me off at the pass I'll take an answer. I'll let you know
later what the question was. It involves a vacuum at the oil filler cap.
