All In A Hards Day Work
This weekened was fun, exciting and draining (not to metion the Pope's curse lives on. )
On Friday night one of my friends Mark Rogers got married. It was a nice wedding and really cool to get to see my friends from far off (Charleston, Scranton, D.C.) make it down. We all hung out and ate dinner after the wedding. It was good to see and catch up with everybody.
On Sat. I got up and went to Summerville for my second BBQ judging. This time there were 27 teams there representing all four types of SC style BBQ. The competition this week was for whole hog (unlike last week where it was Boston Butts). I sampled all 27 and they were all good. It is really had to be critical of something that is so good. I mean most of these people do this professionaly so it has to be good.
I came back home and coated the tractor's gas tank. It was getting rust in the fuel line and I needed to correct the problem in order for it to run properly. After working a little outside I cleaned the house and started packing for our big move. Heidi had a girls night out so it was just Harley and I.
Sunday mourning Paul met me over at my house and brought his pressure washer. A brand new pressure washer...but one that came to the Pope's house. Before we even started the choke came off so we had to do a quick rebuild. Thirty min. later I was off and spraying the hose to kill the mold and fungi that popped up since last time.
After knocking that out it was off to take out the motor of the 73 VW. And in true Pope form it wasn't easy at all. Paul and I ultimatly got it off and decided to call it quits. I however wanted to get a little more done so I got the tractors tank back together and started to place it back on. Everything was going great until I went to connect the fule line to the carburator. I then discovered that I managed to strip the threads. After a trip to two local parts houses and lowes with no luck I officially called it quits.
To reward myself for all the work Heidi and I are going to see Blades of Glory.
FRICKIN SWEET!!!!
