Good afternoon Lee. Good luck with the plumbing. Not my favorite but I can do it.

Tom you slacker. Sleeping the day away...

It's so nice outside, but it's really hot and stuffy inside. They shut the air handlers off this week for some maintenance work.

I was concerned with mileage on my truck while it was my DD. Unfortunately, I spent ALOT of time and money to improve the mileage and got a big fat 0 increase out of it. I've found over the years with most cars that the factory settings are about as good as you're going to get for mileage. The add-ons and things are for power, not economy. NOTHING I ever did except drive long trips on flat ground did anything to the mileage (on ANY vehicle I've owned). It just isn't going to happen.
You right Michael it is very nice out there!

I added a K&N and the 5 star tune to my V10 and I avg 1 1.5 mpg better while towing with it so it was worth it for me.
Hey Lee! Have fun plumbing!
