I had big plans to work on the van all weekend but we had a fierce storm last night and lost power. They said it might not come back for 3-4 days!!!!! Lee..we got lucky up here in Brooklyn Park..power stayed on, but man you could tell there was a storm. Debris everywhere, but pretty much cleaned up now.

Went down to Brian's to check out an oil leak on the van he's working on. The "leaning tower of power" needs either a new rear main seal or the oil pan gasket is just leaking. oy vey.

Well it's my mother, I too wouldn't let anyone borrow my van but argueing with a woman is not worth the headache. And today, a misterious scratch appeared on the side of my van that went far enough to reach the primer, it wasn't there this morning when I left the van with her! And then I get in my van and the seat is soaking wet. I'm telling you, this woman is going to be the death of my van and I.
But my agenda when I return to florida is really to replace the suspension, torque converter, and the rest on that list. I just hope my receipt for the torque converter hasn't faded.

Lee..we got lucky up here in Brooklyn Park..power stayed on, but man you could tell there was a storm. Debris everywhere, but pretty much cleaned up now. Three days.....still no power. BGE (the utility company) said it might take up to the weekend to get everyone turned back on. The house is getting warm and I am on a well so I have no water!!!!! But.....the worst part is my generator isn't strong enough to run my compressor and I am in the middle of doing a lot of bodywork so I can't work on the van right now!!!!!

Last time my mom borrowed a car from me she blew it up less than 5 miles from home. NOBODY borrows my van, there aint no arguement, woman or not. I put too much heart and time and money into it to let some one who doesnt respect vehicles to slam doors, spill coffee and park the shopping cart against it. not happening. I'd let maybe 3 other people drive my van, and they are all in my club and more careful with their vans than i even am.

I am with ya there, I normally never let anyone near my van. But like I said, I just didn't need the headache. I am mad about the scratch, sure there is body rust in some areas but come on...
But, the scratch is so sever it cannot be buffed out. But hey as long as it runs well and so on, but once I repaint it no one is touching it!
I can't wait till I replace the rear suspension, have everything in the back of the van waiting for me to install, the new springs are yelling my name! So embarrassing driving around with a van that has a saggy asss!
