Never was a fan...lol
How old are you, like early 20's? Heck man, you've only had about 10 years to even form an opinion. Give it time, you'll eventually realize that it's more about an identity and tradition than it is the game itself. Wait until you're sitting in a crowded place and some guy from Tennessee or Alabama starts heckling you about our horrible football team. You'll quickly take pride in our basketball team and point that out to him.

Works for me. I used to enjoy going to Bluegrass Dragway before it closed. We also went to Bristol a few times. Watched a few NHRA Winter Nationals there.

I guess he needs attention.
Why would Coach take that kind of a pay cut? For some reason, I never liked Chapman.

Used some of the shorter pieces of the rough cut lumberI had, and some pallet slats to build a "House" for the propane tanks...

Not only will it make the backyard look better and hide the tanks, more or less; But it'll also keep them out of the elements and keep rain and snow out of the propane regulator.

Washed the mud off Michelle yesterday and picked up some filters.

Air Filter PN# R88174
PCV Filter PN# 88976

Both are Car-Quest part numbers.

Picked up some 1/4'' x 1" bolts/nuts/washers to "Retrofit" the airbox lid. The OEM "Sleeves" that the bolts actually bolt into, to close the box up, had stripped, seized or what have you and now I'm just gonna use good old nuts and bolts to replace them.

Here's what I started with:


New PCV hose installed:


And how I'm putting the airbox back together:


The old Air Filter from the JY intake box:


My Fan Shroud is back in place finally:




Also, some pics of the sunset at Caverun Lake last night....

Great pictures Wes.

I've had another busy week. I got the 08 running pretty much normal, most of the vibrations are out of it. Tomorrow I'm going to mount a welder in it, and make some brackets to hold the torch tanks. Grass is growing, and kids are playing baseball and soccer.

Went over to Steven's place today (Powerstrokesteven) and started making a brace, etc for reorganizing my engine bay to fit the extra battery in...

Started making a new brace for the wiper fluid/ coolant reservoirs now that I'm moving it over to the D/S







The general idea of where it's all going... And will be swapping to a Superduty plastic vacuum reservoir.

I finally got the grass all mowed, etc...



My old tiller is gonna get some TLC this weekend. An oil/filter change and maybe some new paint.

Can't complain about it...Starts every time and have just had to put a new drive belt on it. Paid $200 for it about 8-9 years ago.

I started to mow, but it snowed! I'll probably start again this afternoon.

Another busy week. I hope to get the mowers running. I bought belts for the rider mower deck, only to see that the drive belt is shot! Replaced a couple pulleys, but did not put the deck back on because to replace the drive belt, the deck needs to be off. I'll go get the belt tomorrow before my kids games.

Have a Happy Easter guys!

Had an extremely busy/productive day that ended about the same time the relationship with my ex did.

Tomorrow's a fresh day and I'm free!
