Well, it has started to rain harder, so I closed the garage. My power is still on, but I don't care if it goes out because I have my back-up source. I guess to sum it up, everything is good on and in my home. Thanks for checking-up on us, man

They closed all the schools here. What a bunch of p******. There are thunderstorms worse than what we'll probably get. Its such a joke seeing all the lemmings at the gas stations sitting in huge lines and the grocery store shelves empty of water. They prepare for 35-40 mph winds like a friggen cat 5 is making a direct hit.

Yeah! Kinda sucks seeing people waiting in line for gas in 95 degree weather. I've done the best I can to tuck in my 240sx and try to keep it from getting bashed by other objects, IF the weather gets worse.

Let's see what this Hurricane brings us...

So that means the fish must be real hungry . It' just kinda windy and not too rainy right now. The storm's center is now passing my hood, so this in comparison was nothing like hurricane's Wilma and Katrina when they came through; friggin tramps ripped my roof off.

Seems like everytime during a hurricane, i get bored and attack the sentra by removing the head on it. I did it during hurricane Wilma when we had no power and I did it again yesterday, but with good cause. When I ported this head, I went to the extremes and bored an oil sleeve in one of the #3 intake ports. I tried to be slick and use JB Weld to seal it, but it obviously didn't work so well. When I started the car up last week, I noticed the thing smoking. Pulled the plugs and #3 is wet with oil, so I cursed myself because I already knew what it was. So without a care, I drove my car to a park and just revved the breath out of it. The new cams are tight work and even while drinking some oil, the car is still very responsive.

So now the head is off, the JB weld removed, the head cleaned-up, and ready to be taken into a shop for welding that hole shut. No leaks from the cometic gasket and 160psi per cylinder during a compresion test. Now I understand why people in 3rd world countries that don't have entertainment such as television, end up with so many kids (They are bored) .

This was the dumbest storm ever. I don't think we've gotten a gust above 10mph. And almost no rain at all. ...what a joke! Ernesto pussed out.
