Driving 45 minutes in to work tomorrow just to drive all the way back to a job 10 minutes from my house.

That is, of course, if the weather holds out for us to do so which is looking very unlikely.

Got the lawns mowed today since it was the only day we've had in a while where it wasn't raining. Was still pretty wet.

Congrats on the new car, Brendon. Going to get it lettered up for use as a Streamline Electric estimate vehicle?

Well the intercooler boot (same one) blew off again, basically all my fault but i still feel like a 6.0 owner. decided to put my tune back on, so i got into it as i was going up that hill on 84 right where 384 splits off and it blew right off. Rolled down the hill to the exit off ramp where i took the clamp off and realized i lost the nut as well. so i made it right around that intersection in the pic from the off ramp at 3 mph with no clamp on the hose

Seems like everyone's in Manchester today; Miles broke his truck on my daily route to work.

Yes im frequently in manchester

I did not try hair spray, but i just ordered new boot set from riffraff diesel so hopefully that does the trick along with another good cleaning. Now i need to keep saving to have my oil cooler and ipr replaced, and possibly a few injectors... and then i need to start looking for a job after this one ends

Well, it's almost Friday.

Hope everyone stays dry today.
The satellite view is pretty impressive.
