Still gotta finish bolting things up, fill fluids, etc.
I got the wiring done, the O2 in, the fuel rail fix done, got it dropped in, trans mated, and all the lines/electrical hooked up.

yesterday I saw a post where you had engine out. bits and pieces all over the front lawn. tires on the roof. Exhaust in the neighbor’s yard.
Today you post everything is put together, engine is assembled and back in the engine bay. Wheels are on the car, exhaust is mounted. AC is blowing cold air. Radio is playing smooth jazz.
what sort of magic powers do you posses? it takes me 4 hours to take trash out.

I mean this only makes the 5th time I’ve had the whole drivetrain out of here, I can pretty much do it in my sleep at this point.

Every morning, I go up to a keurig machine and make a cup of coffee. On a good day it takes about 30 seconds. However, sometimes, I need to add water. Other times box of K Cups need to be unpacked. Sometimes Box of K Cups need to be located and then unpacked.
My point here is that even a simple task you’ve done a million times can take unexpected/varying amount of time.
You’re talking about mounting an engine into a vehicle.
I don’t care how many times you’ve done it, it might be an easy task at this point, but it is still a complex task. Need to make sure every hose and wire is connected. Every nut and bolt is tightened. There are many of them. If you miss something, it catches up to you fast.

“coffee will still be coffee”
My 98 Nissan Sentra takes me places, just like any other car.
It amazes me in a place like Oppo where we're all somewhat like-minded that you run into an opinion that is just so against what you believe in.

That’s just the thing. Believe!
You believe in santa claus and fair tales and elf on a shelf.
But there are facts. 2+2 = 5 for very large values of 2
Caffeine extracted from coffee bean will produce same coffee no matter if it was prepared in keurig or nespresso. You’re just washing soot and caffeine off beans with hot water.

If you’re not serious, then enjoy your bad coffee! To each his own.
If you are serious, warning: I was a barista once upon a time at a fancy coffee shop that worked directly with a roaster. What you’re saying (facetiously?) is basically the same as “it’s all beef. Heat it to 130 fast as you can, regardless of cut, because it’s all the same”. But obviously ribeye or brisket nee d drastically different methods to produce very different outcomes. Short story is that coffee is not different. Long story is that region of origin, drying methodology, roasting, and extraction all have dramatic effects on the finished product. What tastes good as espresso may taste like crap as drip, because they extract different elements along with the caffeine. Short burst of pressurized hot water will strip different chemicals from the coffee than sitting in cold water for 13 hours will, which is why espresso and cold brew are so different.
So, drink what you like! I've probably wasted time telling you something obvious, but coffee nerdom is strong with me, and I need to spread the gospel. There are cheap easy methods of producing drastically better coffee than a keurig ever could. But do what you like (except that. don't do that).

well, you know the expression some live to eat, others eat to live?
Well, I eat to live and coffee for few drops of caffeine. I don’t care enough to waste life on it.
