Finally got ahold of the guy I ordered the gasket kit from so I went ahead and ordered the correct kit from him also. Going to return the other one today. Hopefully I get the new one by Friday and I can probably get the bike together this weekend.

Yes it is!
Glad you got it figured out Jay. I would think it would be here by Friday if the guy gets everything shipped out right away!

Good Morning Gerry, Dave and Chris.
I bought new boots from Wal Mart Friday before we left for camping. My old ones are old and trashed but have been great. I was in a hurry so just grabbed my size. Good thing I didn't need them. I opened the box this morning to wear them around the house. Only one boot in the box. I opened a different box at Wal Mart on Friday night and found someone's old boots in the box. That probably should have been an indication to open this one as well.

It appears everyone had a great weekend. Rode 46.25 mile with my wife on the bicycle saturday. She's sore... I was ready for another 40 or so... Sunday I went golfing with my papa and brother... I suck, but had my first legitimate par ever!!! (and I still shot a 126. LOL).

I've fond that buying shoes (or really anything) at WALMART often leads to buyers remorse.
yay!

bike ride was fun, she's just sore, and needs more seat time... Golf on the other hand, I never claimed I was good, just that it's fun. Anyone else as bad as me, that wants to go sometime? (oh and my par was my first non-par-3 par.)

I'm in. Not to golf though. That wouldn't be safe for anyone. I'd just cruise around in my cart passing out crap and insults. I'm much better at that than golfing.

Good Morning everyone.
Back from Yellowstone. Good trip and no mechanical issues. May need to replace radiator on truck as it tried to get hot a few times when I don't think it should have but worked well.
10.86 mpg towing and 15.9 mpg empty (mountain driving). Put 3300 miles on and no issues. I love the tow haul downshifting in mountains, never hardly used brakes. Dsl has alot more power in higher elevations and pulls way better on interstate at 67-70 mph than V10. It has power but if I stayed on it the temp would climb to 230 deg and I would back off.
How is everyone?

Hey Lee, nothing wrong with those temps working in the mountains really. Did you hear the fan come on?
As for golf, I used to do it before I hurt my arm. Not so good at it now either... I can slice it to the left really good anyhow.
