I wish it wasn't what I was doing, but it's the job that pays the bills. Even worse, I have class right after work tonight from 6-10, FAIL!

Oh man, that ride kicked my ***. Been months since I've been able to go. Dislocated a toe back in late march, hospital told me it was broken not dislocated, so they bandaged it up, 3 days later the orthopedic was like "I don't know how they told you it was broken, but it took me a few seconds to figure out it was dislocated." So he shot my foot full of novocaine, grabbed my toe and yanked it like he was starting a lawn mower! Got that sucked back in place.

He told me that since it sat like that for over 3 days, instead of maybe a half hour if the hospital wasnt full of dumb****, that it would take a lot longer to heal. Almost have full range of motion back, other than that, its pretty good, gonna go cliff jumpin next!

Evening guys.
Miles they look good. Why they put those small POS ones on a Superduty I will never know.
I got my FICM programer from PHP today and loaded the tune.
It gave a nice little boost in power and a improvement in throttle response, now I hope to get the MPG jump.
They say it should jump buy 1-3 MPG.

Thanks Kyle.
If I can gain 1-1.5 I will be happy. I only get about 11-12mpg around town now.

I spent 3 1/2 hours at DMV this afternoon getting my wife's name changed on her license and her car registration updated to *our* address and reflect her being insured under my policy.

That is terrible, I know that hen I go into the dmv, I usually can travel back to east lyme from old saybrook, go get lunch, maybe mow the lawn, go back to saybrook and still expect to be 5-10 numbers away!

Kyle,
It's really not bad considering my personal experience at the Norwalk DMV.

Most is just waiting to be called.
There are 18 'stations', three were staffed....
