Morning all. Roads were mostly okay but still watch out. My car was a frozen icicle this morning.

Quiet day today....

People must be doing that "work" thing.

Clutch parts are coming in for the motorcycle, I need to get it ready for the next warm weekend! Also I want to dyno it and see what it does with nitrous!

Mmm... Nope. Lawn mower is ready for spring though.

Apparently you need a super thin wall socket to get the spark plug out of a 4 stroke ktm.

So I found out tonight that in the hierarchy of cheap auto parts stores, Auto Zone is on the bottom for shipments of windshield washer fluid. Went in and they were out of everything except the bug stuff. Guy said that they hadn't had anything else for two weeks, and warehouse still had no word on when he would get more. He then told me that he had heard that the only places that still had anything were gas stations. I proceed to drive to Advance Auto, less than a quarter mile away, and found at least 5 dozen assorted options. You lose, Auto Zone.

In other news...not sure if any of you guys have been watching this, but I certainly have. The 2015 F-150 was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show. Here's a link to Auto Trader's write-up. http://www.autotrader.com/research/a...-auto-show.jsp

Did a little more work to my snowblower today. Installed some cheap skids on the side of the blower housing since it was missing them when I bought it. Total investment to date is around $300, and I think I'm finally happy with it.

Good morning people. Going to play with the OBD2 Scan tool today. Trying to get the unit to talk back to the computer. The computer talks to the unit but nothing in return.

I believe we were supposed to be getting pictures of the puppy. I don't recall seeing any pictures of a puppy.

Hey everyone. Going to be moving form WA to CT in about a month or so. Is there anything I should worry about with have a lifted diesel excursion law wise for the area? I already know the new gun laws are going top **** me off to no end. How expensive is registration for vehicles over there? DO you all have club get together or anything?

I'd strongly advise you to reconsider moving here but I wouldn't worry at all about a lifted Excursion. "Emissions" here is a joke and it's somewhere around $250 to register my F350 for 2 years if I remember correctly.

Good morning guys.
I hope everyone has a good weekend.

Maybe I can get done a little early today and wash my truck. It needs it.
