He listed a couple of places for fuel. He said sometimes it will smell like fries other times fish.

I believe the hooligans were the Jersey crew.

I did get a chance to meet with a couple of guys from there.

That they are. Proud to call them friends.

Excursion guy is Russ. He's not right in the head.

Evening guys.
Looks like the dyno day was a good time.

Well I had to clean our bedroom carpet after my son got sick all over it right after dinner.

At least he is feeling better.

Do any of you diesel guys know of a '94-96 7.3 2wd DRW for sale?
The entire body is coming off so it doesn't matter how bad that is.
Ron just wants a decent driveline and chassis.

I wouldn't call those details... I'd call that necessary information.

That's like me saying I have a truck for sale. Could be a new Peterbilt or some kid's old tonka truck that I found on the side of the road run over twice.

There was a nice crewcab for sale at New Haven Terminal, but I think it's a package deal with a motorcycle garage/camper trailer w/ two Harley's included. I believe it's still for sale, I posted a pic in the spring but I think I deleted it.
