    16:42 Hurricane's H reminds me of the best prank ever.
    My town also has an H up on the mountainside. My eldest son graduated in 2011, and for his class's senior prank they covered the middle, horizontal bar in the H to make it read 11, for the class of 2011. Pure genius, this was. A prank that can be done once every 100 years. They'd even put tarps over the white rocks before covering them with dirt so that they could easily restore the H later. No vandalism, just a clever prank.

    I love seeing Janelle working beside you. She reminds me of my wife when we were both much younger. She would always help me whenever I worked on our vehicles. My son still talks about how his mom would be right there beside dad working on our Blazer. And, she was a petite city gal! She has a very good mechanical aptitude and diagnostic intuition.
    You rock, Janelle!!!

But man oh man, what a feeling it was to turn the key, crank the engine, and hear that machine begin to rumble and come back to life. Good job by all. Enjoy life, embrace challenges or set-backs, because they are opportunities to grow and accomplish more than you can imagine at the time.

    Rudy, you're a lot younger & more adventurous than I. Been wrenching 40+ years, & my "test ride" after an engine install would be a couple laps around the block, not heading straight up into the mountains. Then again, I don't have MORR on speed dial!!! Also, real nice removal of the broken bolt with the hot wrench.

Colin was also very helpful too and got things put back together correctly and functional. You all make a great team.

    You can get replacement plastic ends for that transmission cable if you want to look for one they slip right on without having to do any crimping or anything. It's called a throttle valve or TV cable. It's actually really important. I believe gm replacement ends are the same. I had to get a new end for one on a cherokee once. Also the cable is fairly easy to replace just stick with oem parts, the pan has to come off though.
