Steel seal...

Dad's car busted a head gasket... caused coolant leaks into one of the engine cylinders. Today, I researched around internet a bit, trying to find out how easy or hard it is to replace head gaskets... and the verdict is that it is not EASY! Head gasket itself is relatively cheap, it's all the labor involved. If I'm a real mechanic, I guess it'll probably be worth doing it myself... most mechanics probably want to make money doing easier jobs than replacing head gaskets... all the disassembling... and then reassembling. So more research needs to be done if dad and I are really going to go down that route... we just might end up spending time and money and then still junk the car anyway!!!! That'll suck! ;)

Murphy's law: if something can go wrong, it'll always go wrong! I thought my robot project would be simple, but right now I'm still stucked on software issues... point is things are never as easy as we think it is... better just park that Ford Escort in the garage for a while...

Still, by accident, I found some thing called the steel seal... some sort of liquid that can bond to cracked engine parts and fix the leak!!! Sounds too good to be true, but there are some favorable testimonials... for $50 and the money back guaranteed... I'm now tempted to give that a try first! It's cheap... and within 30minutes, I'd know if it works or not!

Anyway, bible said,

It is not good to have zeal without knowledge,
nor to be hasty and miss the way. (Pro 19:2)

So, I'll spend a bit more time seeking more 'knowledge' about it first before making the purchase I suppose! ;)

Another verse that kinda caught my eye today was the part about sleep... since wife has not be able to sleep very much lately...

Do not love sleep or you will grow poor;
stay awake and you will have food to spare. (Pro 20:13)

It's funny I don't recall ever reading this verse before!!! I kinda love to sleep... I guess I better watch out!!! As for the wife, I guess she's going to be rich!!! ;)

Anyway, I don't want to be super poor nor super rich, but may God help us to be able to sleep just enough so that we can remain healthy I guess. Can you help us out, my Lord? Thanks! :)
