Morning all. The dump is still off the F350, job is only 1/2 done. I'm off to work. Tonight I'm going to a machine shop to work on my 383 chevy stroker. Soon to be on a dyno.

Good morning guys and thanks Jim for keeping us on track.
Well it is Monday again but it is only a 3 day week for me before I go to cub scout camp for Thrs-Sun.
Watch to sky this afternoon, I hope we get some rain.

Hello everyone.

I had a nice weekend up at the family's Adirondack cabin.

Creek was a balmy 60F nice so I passed on swimming; we had nice comfortable temperatures day & night.

Aaron, granted propane is more fuel but I had read that the propane helps to burn up the otherwise unburned diesel fuel (soot).
I guess propane can't consume all that much then.

Thank's Aaron
