Part two.
.
I am still running the same PC with XPpro and it now
has developed one or two stupid problems which some
times cause the browser to fail, taking the OS with it.
I have no idea how to deal with it,
i would like to do a re-install, but i dont know if i
can, as this is a clandestine version. If it gets much
worse i will have to bite the bullet and attempt a
re-install.
I would probably make such an attempt using another
hard drive, as i dont know if i would be successful at
re-installing a clandestine version of XP-pro.
.
Sorry this reply has been so long in coming,
i never noticed the red alert until today.
.
You take care of yourself too and have a good year.

Hi Daniel,
I dont normally take any notice of that friends list.
Yes i had a very happy christmas thank you
and i'm glad you did too.
.
Ive just noticed the date on this is from 2008
so its a year older than i thought.
.
Yes i was going to get that auto engine to run,
but it turned out to be much more damaged in the
bores than i thought it was going to be.
After freeing the pistons and having a look at the
state of it, i had the scrap dealer take the auto
away. Except for the damaged engine, which i am
curious as to whether or not it is too damaged to run.
So i might see if i can bench-run it.

End of part one

john,
your friends list is longer than mine,
makes me feel bad,
.
trust you had an enjoyable christmas?
sure hope so,
mine was fantastic,
pj was home this holiday season,
'stead of the hospital,
.
last we spoke, you were puttering with that auto,
how did that turn out?
.
haven't been posting much 'til the other day for awhile,
when they redid the site, whatever they did,
couldn't post,
probably 'cause i keep a pretty tight rein on the cookies & scripts,
oh well, figured out how to get around it,
what can i say,
well, this was going to be just a visitor message,
hi - bye - whatever,
anyway, drop me a line when you can,
enjoyed our conversations,
take care of yourself,
daniel
