The weather was not so good yesterday so we heading to Atlanta, ate at Joe's Crab shack and then went to Andretti's indoor kart track and game room in Marietta. Wife wanted to go to the zoo but with the weather being nasty we found something to do inside. That place seems to be a huge hit because it was packed and we had to wait 2 1/2 hours to do one Kart race.
Letting the wife sleep in and then I am heading out to tune up the Jag and hopefully get the miss out of it on cyl #6. I have a new coil, plugs, air filter, PVC, oil and filter. You have to pull the upper intake manifold to change the plugs so this is going to be interesting. Heading out as soon as the wife wakes up and hope the rain holds off for a while.
I sold the Grand Am yesterday so I have my fingers crossed that I did not make a huge mistake. Right now I am still 200 dollars in the good from what I bought the Jag for, sold the Grand Am and buying the tune up stuff.
I will end up changing all the fluids just because I hate not knowing when and if they were ever changed. Plus Jag parts aren't real cheap so it's cheap insurance.
GO JR !!! So glad that racing season is back again!!!!

I got the new plugs and coil installed in the Jaguar and the thing runs like a top now and no check engine light!!!!!!! Didn't get the oil changed or fuel filter in because it has been raining. I wanted to change the oil in the Lightning too but that's not going to happen either.
I have to check all the fluids in the motorhome this week because I am bringing it home on Saturday!!!!

Some, I walked in when JR wrecked and back in again with 5 laps to go. I have it on DVR for viewing later. I wanted to get the Jaguar fixed and make sure I didn't make a mistake selling the Grand Am.
Runs like a top now, big sigh of relief.

I did a thing. I let my girl drive my Dodge......... 3rd person to ever drive it besides me. She said it has way to much power for her. I think I did scare her leaving every stop light on the way home sideways on Sunday. She enjoyed it though, laughing while im in 2 lanes.

Wow, you let her drive your truck? Must be love.
Taking my retirement classes and on my last week here at Ft Benning. I got my tires balanced on the Lightning yesterday and the thing rides like a dream now. I still need to change the oil, I wanted too last weekend but the rain hampered my efforts.
