Lynn and I took the motorcycle out today. Took a round about trip over to Stillwater and walked around there. It was a great day! Now a fire this evening.

Got some work done on the camper today.. Nothing picture worthy yet...

I used Royal Purple SynchroMax fluid - so that wasn't the prob..
Got the Tremec out for pictures...
I installed the Pro Billet shifter and it shifts fine now sitting on the ground. Now I'm not sure what the problem is/was --- maybe something to do with the OEM shifter that was on it? I pulled the forward cover to take a peek and nothing looks bad inside... Dunno... Still thinking I would advise a synchro kit...
Thinking of asking 1k for all this stuff along with a copy of the factory shop manual... Does that sound out of line?

Good morning Minnesota. Moving out there from a three-year sentence in Connecticut. Very much looking forward to getting back to the northern midwest!

Thanks Randy!

We're moving into a house in Braham, and I'll be working in Cambridge. I've not had a commute less than 35 minutes in the last five years, so it's going to take some getting used to being only 10 minutes away.

My wife and kids arrive this evening, and I'll be there sometime later this week. We used to have a house about an hour from there in Amery, WI.

Nice area!! Especially since you won't have to go through the Twin Cities traffic on a daily basis!

Amery eh? One of my very best friends grew up there and still has a place there...

Small town Minnesota is great living in my opinion...

Yep, learned that lesson when driving OTR, it's not worth dealing with rush hour every day. I'll still be getting down there with work every so often, but that's not a big deal. The twin cities aren't as bad as many New England cities I've gotten familiar with.

We really liked it there, but we were only there for about two-and-a-half years. Every three years I move with work, which is why that was the first and last house I plan on buying for the foreseeable future.

Good morning Jim and the rest of the gang!

Monday has arrived already? Dang weekends are too short! I did manage to get the camper into the shed yesterday. Fits sorta like OJ's glove......kinda tight. I think I have three to four inches front to back and about the same height wise but it fits!
