Man I couldn’t tell you the last time I had something like that. I smoke, rillos and always finish. Guess I need better weed:-?
I knew it was almost a 1/4 of a joint, I found it in my slipper later. I was rather impressed I was that baked, usually I'm just slightly high after a whole one. I've been making tweaks in my grow to try and improve things. This last batch came out rather well:eyesmoke:

Took me almost 4 hours to remove a single, rusted solid, stud from a cylinder head. And I had this thing on a bench. I tried everything to get it out ,lots of heat, stud extractor, multiple screw in extractors, left handed drills and a can plus of penetrating oil, but I ended up just drilling it out. Threads look a little shallow so I'll probably put in a thread insert just to be safe, this things gonna see some boost and I don't want exhaust leaks. Then 2 hrs chiseling melted aluminum out of the exhaust port. I really wish I knew the history of this engine cause it had to be a violent death, there's thick melted aluminum right into the turbo. What's left of the piston, probably 1/4 of it is missing, is a solidified glob of aluminum. I'm gonna go yank a crank and pull some rods then pound a piston out a hole.. that just sounds dirty. :hump:

Met with some friends. Ate MahI tacos. Drank 2 red ales. Went home. Looked in a box. May blow off work tomorrow.
I had to go to Anchoragua today for my annual VA appt, weather was absolute shit when I left this morning, 0-0 vis but my plane made it in on time so off I went. All went well with my Dr. but at the airport coming home wasn't so good. 3 weather delays later we're finally on the plane - on the approach the ceiling drops & we have to abort, do a couple of laps around & try again. Made it this time but just by the skin of our teeth - the whole plane breaks out cheering & clapping.

But the good news is it's 52 deg F. : )
