214 days in, 152 to go.

 

And a fine month August is.

 

I recognize the palm trees. But what is that lone tree in the middle?

 

This is cool. A Super Duty diesel makes another daring rescue!

Saw that clip on TV a couple of evenings ago. Good thinking on their part to simply drop a ladder in!

Welcome to August, everybody!

Pop

 

damn this year is flying by!

 

Tell me about it. Way too fast for my liking.


Has to be a 7.3 in that rescue vehicle...unmistakable sound.

 

scarey part is it was my birthday weekend last September when i blew the transmission up in my truck at oceano dunes, and now im planing to go there again this September for my birthday. haha time flys.


BTW! 10k miles on a broken 4R100! no reverse or 1st gear... still daily driving it

 

Dang 'lectric trees

Bears prefer an oil burner!

Indestructable 4R100! Do you win many races off the line?

 

belive it or not with 35's 3.73 gears and starting in 2nd gear then shifting to D that ole 7.3L sure gets up and scoots... although i do try and not romp on it from the stop as i know ill break something else its hard not to get on the fuel and let the truck do what it likes to do, soot a little and throw down some torque.

i got a quote for a built trans for about $4300 out the door. from mike at Irvine transmissions, i have had 2 diesel guys recommend me to him and apparently all he does is diesel transmissions.

with the construction trades the way they are right now it will be a while before i can get it in and fixed right. but for now i hope every morning when i jump in the truck that the trans holds for another day, i grab my tool belt and try to make ends meet.

 

Wow, August already?

 

Off to Coalinga this AM. Will be looking for 'where am i' photos...

 

Safe travels and good pics, Sean.
