Congrats, Phil! These are precious days for you guys, treasure them. My babies are in 3 and 5th grade now! How did I get so old, already?
Haha it's all good Nate. Yeah I've had a few, and actually have owned this one twice. Lol. It's running great. Already have put 100 miles on it. It's night and day. Now to fix some of the other little things on it. Plenty of time. Great White is going to go into early hibernation again this year.

Congrats Phil!

Yeah we started school on Monday, it was great to be back behind the wheel of the bus. This is my 4th year with the same group of kids, they are just as awesome as ever!! They make my job easy!

Well. sorry for the long unannounced hiatus. I've been stationed in Louisiana now for a little while! I finally got my truck moved down here, I'll be back on more often now, that I am getting ready to start getting the last few parts I need to start rebuilding the engine with better stuff

Well I just got raked over the coals at tire discounters....


Guess where I will never go again!


$163 to warrantee replace a bad wheel bearing on my 07 focus (its cast into the brake drum)


That was $40 for the wheel cylinder that costs $14 at napa
and $100 in labor...for a 10 min job...


but I got an "upgraded wheel bearing".... If only I had the socket for the axle nut....

Hey so I have a chip that came with Charlee... It has a switch with 11 positions maybe? Any ideas what kind of chip it is?

It could just be a TS6 with the retainer/stop ring removed from the switch.
