Less than 3 months left of this year! Time to make those New Years Day plans! Oh, and I hear Walmart is already putting out their Christmas items. Lets all do our shopping now so there will be no need for Black Friday.

Spooky month? What about BEER MONTH ! ?
It's the freaking month for Octoberfest. Beer trumps spooks, in my book.

And, at least you have a job. Still quite a few people out there without one.

Swapped out the stock plastic grille inserts, for the "European" grille inserts. Looks much better, since one of the stock ones was all scratched up. These are all metal so they should last longer.



The black one seems to have an issue with the engine not the transmission. So it looks like I will be keeping the white one, and selling the black one as soon as we figure out what is wrong and how much it will cost me to get fixed.

Not much. I keep starting the Bronco and letting it run once a week to keep the battery charged, and fluids flowing, but I have not driven it in over two weeks.

The black Jag will be sold sometime after the engine problems are fixed. Looks like it only needs a distributor cap and rotor. Simple compared to an engine swap, but still going to cost over $100. If I were to keep it, I would have to wait until after October 24th so I only have to pay one year of registration. It is on a non-op, but if I were to register it now, they would want the registration paid up from 2012 until October 24th of 2014. Since I have decided not to keep it (everyone, including my mechanic, is telling me it is a money pit. LOL), I can sell it any time after the title gets here.
