Actually Glenn, I can't think of too many things better than a turbo. Lol

Brian, that thing looks like more fun than the playground at McDonalds (and it's the same colors too)!
Keep up the good work, sir. It looks amazing.

That looks absolutely amazing!

Man have I been outta touch! I am working 12-13 hour days and then trying to do grad school as well. I feel like I am entirely out of touch. I miss this place...

We have no shows for the next couple months so things should get a little more normalized. We moved into a new house, had to get new furniture I haven't even had time to maintain Ruby, but hopefully this Sunday I'll get some time to tinker with my new tool shed and work space. Our new house sits on 3 acres and has a nice workshop as well as a tool shed. Right now I am watching it snow outside while typing this. I feel for you northern guys who have to deal with this all the time.....SUCKS. Hope everyone is well and projects are coming along without a hitch!!

I was also going to say that I did get the EBPV delete done with a new pedestal from RiffRaff as well as new Orings (obviously) The guy that did the work said the valve was stuck halfway in the closed position. Needless to say, it looks much cleaner back there and my boost is now up to 24-25 from 20! I gained 4 lbs of boost just by doing this mod!! I just had this done to fix the oil leak and did not expect a performance gain, but I got one nonetheless. My turbo is in good shape and the valley is dry once again. I just mention it here because it's not worth doing a thread.

Good to hear from you again Byron. That sounds like good weather to sit inside with the kids by the fire....

Supposed to be -17* again for a low tonight and a chance of 6-10" more tomorrow night and Sunday. It doesn't really bother me at this point, but everybody else sure is all pissed off about it! lol.

No no no Nate, it's white and gold!

Looking great Brian!

Supposed to get a good storm. We've already passed last years snow removal. That's a bit skewed as I think we've had less snow, but we have more contracts. Trucks are all ready to go, sitting in the heated shop, but man I could be doing other things. Of course it's going to snow and I'll have to work, it's the weekend!

Good afternoon Y'all! Finally back in the united states of America! Good to be back on solid, snowy ground. Lots of parts to puck up on Monday, but in the meantime, getting settled in, and sitting out in the truck enjoying the feeling.
