Good morning all. Running more than a little late today. Apparently I was so tired that I hit my snooze button for more than an hour and a half without realizing it.

I had a squishy weekend camping. I did get the car out for a few hours, which was of course, the highlight.

Good afternoon. Just installed my strictly diesel fuel pressure adapter hose for my gauge, immediately smelt fuel when i got on the highway... where the gauge sender threads in was leaking pretty good. Found some liquid thread sealant rated for fuel and high temps so i put that on and letting it set up now. In other news, my fuel pressure seems good

I grilled up some chicken with Weber's Caribbean Jerk marinade(real tasty, minor spicy), and ate out on the patio with blue skies, and about ten minutes after we cleaned up it started pouring hard. Only lasted about a half hour, tops.

In other news, I am getting really frustrated with the car rack business. I wasn't thrilled about it to start with, but I needed something to carry the kayaks, and now the bike. I went new, and aerodynamic, with the rack system. Unfortunately for me, this system is too new and none of the attachments fit it correctly. They make adapter kits for a few things, but nothing for the kayak rack or the bike rack that I need. More and more, everyday, I wish I still had my truck. It carried the kayaks no problem. Now I am without a truck for probably the next 5 years at least.

That sucks Josiah, what happened to the truck-buying plans?

And Brendan, some pics of the Ferrari?

Good morning everyone.
At least the rain means I don't have to water the new seeds in the garden.
Next crop of spinach, beets, chard, lettuce, cilantro, etc..

What rack system do you have for the Focus Josiah?
Crazy that the manufacturer can't properly integrate those things.
I guess we all have to make compromises.

Congratulations Brendon.
There's nothing like the seamless power of performance engineering.
Hopefully the romance and passion are not undermined by a temperamental and capricious nature. (I hear things have gotten much better)

Miller is remodeling their Ferrari/Maserati showroom.
It is right next to the new McLaren dealership and across from Aston/Bugatti.
You should come down to Greenwich and check it out when they are done.
