October Chat Thread
It's already the 4th so I'll "man up" and start this thing off.
The Braves season is (thankfully) over, the Falcons are 3-0
and Autumn is definitely in the air.

Weather here is the same (ugly). Didn't get anything done. The Bronco is looking nasty, I had planned to do a full detail yesterday on it, wife's van, and the truck. Hopefully I can get them done next weekend.

Hey guys,
Thanks mecdac for starting a new thread!!
Sorry I have been wide open since the first of the month when I signed into Ft Benning. The rain stop the exhaust leak repair I need to do on the motorhome so I have been commuting back and forth from home to Ft Benning everyday. It's an almost a 3 hr trip one way. I am going to drive the motorhome down to Ft Benning this weekend because by the time I get home at night, I eat, get a shower and then crash. I have a great job here and I can't complain at all.
I did manage to get the carpet, padding and tack strips all pulled up out of the babies room last weekend and I also got the walls painted. We bought the hardwood to put downin there but that is a weekend project in a week or three. I wanted to detail our vehicles last weekend too but that didn't happen beacuse of the weather.

It was nice enough today take I called my detail guy to take care of the Bronco. So one less that I have to do this weekend. On another note, I re-hired my son to work at the shop. Guess he doesn't like working night as much as he thought.

I think he got tired of smelling like seafood and working 16 hours days every day since he started with out a day off. Or maybe he just felt sorry for his ole man not having any decent help. Anyway I'm just happy he decided to come back. Now we can get some work done.

Happy October everyone! And TGIF! The family went on a vacation last week... north of Myrtle Beach (Sat to Sat) but we had to cut short due to hurricane. We made it home safe and quick thankfully... we left super early Thursday morning...before the roads all got closed up.

GT glad y'all got out and back ok.. The turbo install is down to: hookup oil lines, put transmission dipstick back in, hookup the gauges, extend oil sending unit wire and finish building the intake ( parts on order).
Bad thing I got to pull the glow plugs back out, thanks to our crazy weather. Took a break and before I could get back outside a downpour popped up. Yes the hood was up and intake was uncovered. Yesterday as I was turning the engine on cylinder had a whole bunch of compression.
GT have you seen the you may have a 6.0 thread?

I finally got the exhaust leak taken fixed on the motorhome in between the sprinkles. I checked all the fluid levels and loaded up all my stuff. I managed to finish detailing the wife's SUV yesterday. And I also did my first raking of leaves off of the front lawn.
We went yesterday afternoon and had the 3d/ 4d sonogram done and it is amazing stuff they can do now. He loves to have his arms and hands up by his face so it took some time to get some good pics.
I'd rather work on vehicles than smell like fish anyday!!
We will get together Hugh, no problem!!
