It took a few hours yesterday, but after a few false starts & having to change tactics a couple times, I finally got the engine in the Dodge on Friday. Looks like I'm going to have to modify a couple of the spark plug wires because one is rubbing on the upper control arm & the other is on the steering column. I also might pull it back out temporarily in order to bolt in the starter (which I forgot to do beforehand). I could probably install it from underneath the car, but it's nothing but ant hills under there. Also have an issue with the hood mount - seems to be a little low, as the under-hood pad is hitting the radiator cap area & I'm sure it's not supposed to be. I think there is some adjustment I can do, but won't know until I get back out there today.
I was going to post pics, but the site I used to host them is going/gone away & I don't know where else to sign up. It's switching to g00gle pics, but I don't like/trust g00gle in general, and specifically as pertains to my rights regarding my images. Meh. Any suggestions on web hosting of images that favors user privacy rights?
Oh, btw, haven't talked to Viv in about 5-6 weeks. I know she's busy with her kid & her new g/f, but I don't think that's why. Pretty sure it has to do with an article I sent her regarding vaccines. She's an anti-vaxxer, and the article basically said that anti-vaxxers are being lied to, and that they really should vaccinate their kids, gave a bunch of study references as proof, etc. - could be a coincidence, but I don't think so. I mean, it's true that the last couple times she got with someone new, she basically disappeared until things got shitty with them, at which point she'd text/call me again, but I'm actually expecting to never hear from her again, and I'm more than ok with that. Just not sure how to deal with it if she decides to contact me again. I want to be cordial, but I really don't want to have anything to do with her anymore. I guess I can just talk a bit, but always be busy if/when she wants to hang out; maybe she'll get the hint. Oh well, it's nothing I have to worry about yet, so...
And, as usual, no news on the dating front. Pretty lonely, but fortunately it's not messing with my head too much, as I've got a bunch of stuff to do to keep me busy. I'm not drinking, and I'm rarely going out, which helps, but also makes me much more isolated. *Sigh* Still seems like I'm destined to be alone, at least until I die, anyway. beyond that, who knows!? ;-)
