Can you come help pleeeeeease ;-) (just kiddin')

Ken,

I think there's a "translation" error from Canadian English to US English .
. .In an email, Rach was talking about a 400 _CU.IN._ engine. . . .about 600
lbs.

Sorry, Rach. Just trying to act as a translator fer ya'll. 400 cu in =
6554.826 C.C.

yep -- sorry -- I usually refer to them simply as a 400 but wasn't sure
how to write it

thankyou -- great idea -- torch to warm up -- good, it's closest to the
shed -- reef like hell
and drop the front axle on some 6x6 lumber,

forest logs nearby, sawn off on top and blocked, yep can do
and the

thank you Max, and Budd -- should work this way

Just thinking some more -- only need to drop front end down, one 8 foot
log, shaving flat with chain saw around where wheels go, got good
hydraulic jacks of course, and if I'm warming up the bolts, I can burn
off the snow too

-- got this idea while taking my sh.t (do my best thinking on the
porcelain throne and while driving <vbgrn>) -- my Newfie friends have
told me they clear a path in the snow to the road by lighting fire to
gasoline

LOL!!!

Can't do that, Greg. I drove by the place when I went with my brother to
Canon City CO to get his fishing boat and it looks like, thru the window in
the garage door, that he might have tried it, and the rafter fell down.

The bad part is, the car in the driveway was a Subaru . . . . . . . and a
riding mower with the engine halfway off . . .

have chain
truck avail
nearest warm shop is a service garage -- plausible to tow illegally down
the road for 10 miles or so because no police out here within 1 hour drive
oh, and don't forget the snow blower, or backhoe if too mush for the
snow blower

Even a cold shop would do.

I did have a delightful crazy idea last summer -- I was driving beside a
railroad bridge which had three beautiful supports -- iron truss style
about 100 wide feet each, 40 feet high. Nick those, drag them behind the
truck about two hours down the road, and securely erect them on my
property and put a couple of huge canvas tarps over them in the Fall --
I'd never need to clear the yard again, and I'd have a hangar for a
garage with a built in beam to chain anything onto <maniacal grin>

seriously though, looks like we'll go with items 1 and 2 and wear warm
clothing

Yep, might have to wait for spring. Unless Norm's cousin is coming out
this way sometime with her tow truck (she lives an hour away) he won't
be able to afford it -- and I was looking to get the motor out of here
asap and also help my neighbours make some money as things are tight
around here this time of year

We have one small male grade 8 student -- no burly females in high
school who'd do it either. Summer is different -- put an ad up at the
depanneur which is open for beer, wine, smokes, and fast food once the
cottagers come out of hibernation.
