yesterday i was heading up to seattle, then to Bothel, even norther. but before i could leave town i had five million errands to run, and in the midst, of course, remembered that i had forgot something. so back home to get the crucial items, and while i was there, deep in mnemnoic trance, Chris from the farm came over, wanting me to look at the sad motor he had pulled. did i say that he had done a compression check? 95 in 1,2, and 4, 0 in #3. the left head was off when i got there, and the rings on #3 had fused to the pistin, which had pieces eaten out of three places along its sides. its hard to describe, but the end result is p&c toast city. he didn't feel into rebuilding it, and instead opted to order a rebuild. well that's that story but while i was at the machine shop in Seattle, i ran into a friend. ACKK! it's a small world, after all......
