He already has been offered a job at the business he interned for last year at $60k to start. We hope he just goes to law school. He has no plans yet. He wants to travel for a while, but Covid is cutting that short. We think he'll be a better law student and lawyer than I ever was. And, we don't bring it up anymore so as not to pressure him. But, he's having lunch with my mom today and she is adamant and intends to be very direct expressing her opinion that he should go to law school. B.S in finance magna **** laude, MBA and then law school will make him highly marketable, even outside of law.

True, the world becomes his oyster. Does he have a passion for law?

He doesn't know it yes, but he'll have the passion and will be absolutely great. After all, I have been training him for years. LOL! He already reads volumes of text quickly and well, loves complexity, analysis, writing and presenting, and has already mastered comparing and contrasting information and arguments. He's ready if he chooses that path.

Off to the pool for a short swim emphasizing my legs and kicking with fins and a kick-board.

Got all of the injectors pulled. But, I was too wore out to tackle the heads today.

I’ve to either pull the manifolds off the heads or disconnect them from the exhaust pipes to pull the heads. I sprayed penetrating oil on the bolts. Hopefully, I won’t have to cut them off.

Gonna be hard as **** to get the manifolds disconnected without pulling the tires. I’ve got to rig some kind of riser for my floor jack to get the front end high enough to get the tires off the ground. The bottom sits about 2 feet off the ground and my jack tops out at about 23 1/2”. Hopefully, the my jack stands are tall enough.

EDIT: I’m sure TW will find a way to perb since I've mentioned penetrating, oil and pulling in this post.

Motherfacking jehovas witnesses are worse than the cicadas this year.

Had swarms of them when I first moved in but they've been dormant for 8-9 years. This was my 5th encounter this summer. Normally I answer the door and then close it, or don't answer it at all.

This one came in my garage, I got earmuffs on cutting trim for bathroom and touches me. I got up and was ready to lay him out but he put his hands up. Tries his speech while I'm cussing him out and telling him to GTFO.

That's a good way to get shot dumbass. I'm still fuming. He made me lose my spot and I cut a $28 piece of trim at the same angle as the previous one, so now I have to buy another.

Fuxker gonna get hurt if he shows up again. Entering my attached garage is entering my house. That's not OK.

Try to convert them to Satanism. That should dry up traffic.

If uncomfortable with Satanism, maybe Wicca or Scientology

In other news I've got all the trim up in the bathroom and redid the tub drain plumbing so hopefully it's done. Gotta caulk the trim, and paint it still but the big jobs should be done.

Took the dog to the park. Had breakfast. Took the dog to buy beer... then took the dog to drink a beer and eat a burger in Old Town.

Old Town Pub gives him a treat and a bowl of water. I gave him some fries and a bite of my burger. He's only a teenager (17 months) so no beer for Tank. He's such a good dog. Lays at my feet and chills. If someone wants to pet him (um, everyone does) he's social and even gives doggie kisses.

At least 5 ladies stopped to pet him. Bartender chick gave him the treat and ice water (yep... ice in the bowl).

Dan, I want to compliment you.

Your learning how night shifts affect you and your family along with the emotional and physical toil on you generally and also on your sleep. That and your strong desire to make your day shift days at that hospital better, versus night shift. Hope this is a permanent change for you and that your project gets final approval!=d>

Have to say the metamorphosis is interesting to watch. It’s like he broke the cycle.
