Well time to make the donuts. Oh btw it's Friday today!

Damn trailer was too stable...

I guess you could have left it in neutral and not strapped it at all. I think your truck can accelerate pretty good.

I did not think Exploders had a spark plug issue. I thought that was all left to the V10 in the early years. Sounds like a relatively easy fix if it would have happened in your driveway.

All the Triton motors did it. Usually it was the early ones. I'd not done any over 2000 before.

With the kits they have now, it's a 10 minute fix. You drill out the hole. Tap it, then put an insert in. I jb weld the inserts and let them sit overnight though. New coil too, cause that of course broke...

I did find time to pick up a different sled on Friday though.
Bought a 96 Polaris XLT special. Very nice shape, but 6600 miles but fresh rebuild and it really goes.

or maybe just in comparsion to the sports.

Bring on the snow. I only was able to put three miles on it.

Gonna wear out those slides & wears

Bummer on the sploder Dave

Good morning everyone!

Just got to the shop. This morning was parent day at Jase's preschool so I was hanging out with him at school.

Ahhhh, hanging out with the cool kids. I did that with Mason a few weeks ago. Kinda cool to see him interact with the other kids.

Hey Mike! I hope it melts away too and looks like it is going too!

Dealing with some new Video hosting software. It's kind of a f'd up hybrid software. We host the front end of the software, but another company holds all of the content. What a f'd up POS software. Their documentation is HORRIBLE (basically non-existant). I've kinda sort of got it running. There seems to be a lot of pixie dust to it.

Car is running well, but stupid thing is still leaking a ton of oil. It's down a quart from Friday already with two trips to Shakopee and back. Oil is cheap, but this thing is going through it as fast as gas. Have I mentioned how much I hate oil leaks? What a PITA.

You are having a tough time all the way around Michael. I hate oil leaks also. If you get yours figured out I will let you take a crack at the Lumina.
