My daily drive or the same year 2011, and that 5.0 is sweet. I'd really like to get some aftermarket exhaust under there, but now that I do have Ka'Bluey back, any change I can rub together to make really money, goes into him.

The garden plot is looking good Larry. Bob, those beers should be fantastic. I've not tried that Brewery yet, but it sounds great.

I stumbled (Literally) across this place when the bar at the hotel Shari and I stayed at a year ago in Virginia hooked me up, when I asked the bartender to surprise me after I told him I wanted a dark, STRONG beer.
I killed the first one before he was even able to get it rung up/charged to the room.
Yes I took another with me. Oh yeah, it's also 7.8%, and in a 22oz bottle.

I've a friend who is going to bring his tiller up this weekend. The plan is to smoke pork and get my old branch pile tilled up. But first all the branches have to go. I'm taking a day off this week to tackle that. Hopefully I'll get two loads to the landfill before the weekend. The nice thing about using that area is the soil is nice and dark and rich compared to most of what I have, with this sandy Carolina soil. If that all goes to plan I'll puts some plants and seeds in this Sunday. Fingers crossed!

I have the east side of my shed that I'd like to till so I can get some veggies in the ground pretty quick.

It's got a stumble as soon as you mash the pedal, from what I can see the accelerator pump on the carb is very sticky and takes a minute to work. The pump also has a slight drip. I've got a new one in order, should be here Friday. Gonna get that changed and see if I can get it fine tuned. If I still have the stumble I may go up a size or 2 with the pump nozzle and see if I can make it nice and crisp.

What's up everybody
Today and tomorrow are the last nice day's of the week according to the weather guessers. Supposed to rain Thursday and Friday. I'm still looking for a pair of loud horns to put on Ka'Bluey, so I can take off that wussy thing I got from Autozone. They (Autozone) also haven't posted my review I left about that brand and model of horn that I left on the web sight. No cussing, but a blunt truth
So I may make a trip to LKQ to whatever location in closest. I know right where the one in Durham is.
