Yeah Richard, there were a few times a couple of years ago, when a transient guy moved in with the renters next door. Everyday he would sit outside from 10 a.m. until about 2 a.m. smoking and talking nonstop. In the evening he would start bon fires about 3 feet from my fence under my second story bedroom window. I lost about 6 months of sleep during that time. I tried at first to talk with them, then the landlord, finally the police and fire department. The whole neighborhood signed a petition to the landlord which finally kicked the guy off the property. One of his buddies would just say I got my rights to be out here and talk all I want. So around that time I took to 8a.m Harley Tuneups outside his bedroom window, and one day left the rototiller run until it ran out of gas, that was the only thing that seemed to get thru his thick skull!
Mostly we all get along now days, mind those renters are gone, so it will be mid day starts and no idling in the back by their bedrooms.
But I am getting antsy to get this one fired up.
The nice thing about taking the drive shaft in to the shop, was he pointed out that my 68 9" differential could have many different sized universal joints, so he sent me home with two testers which have two different diameter bearings on each set. One is 1 1/8" and the other is 1 1/16th ". The difference between the two universal joints is also the width of the joint. Turns out mine takes a smaller narrower config to the diff. I would have never known, until the shaft was the right length, so one step saved!
