the mustang gets royal purple... the truck gets rotella T (not the 6 or 8 or other crappy numbers just the plain jane T..) although last trip i threw 2 qts of T4 in it since that was all they had... both run motorcraft filters but there is a couple baldwin filters on the truck that were added on..
my old truck and other vehicles i had in hs.. i used fram filters and caterol.. ran fine no issues... (yes i know boo fram.. but i never had problems with them..)

Last weekend we installed a Lift on a friends Jeep, and the rear track bar relocation bracket was incorrect for his lift, so we stole the one off of my TJ. I was hoping for new parts this morning, but somethings gone wrong with the order, and the jeep will stay on a jack stand for a few more days I guess.

Well the track bar bracket came in, so I took a couple hours off this evening and installed it. Jeep is back in the garage where it's supposed to be.
Dang I hate Bob's leaving, I was hoping to get him to spray the truck, or least help with more of the paint.

Came home to a bit more water in the backyard than I thought we should of had. Apparently the water pressure/bladder tank decided to spring a leak. Still have pressure in the house but we got a nice little stream coming out of it. Guess I'll be installing a new one tomorrow.

Looks good Larry.
Well time for Saturday errands, and then to get ready for a business trip. I hope this is the last one of the year. My business travel has gone done significantly other the last few years, and with Mary's help I've almost spent all of my saved up hotel points. Something I would have never done on my own.

Yeah, it gets old. It's been nice being home these last couple of years, and just traveling for vacation.
So Question for you AC gurus. I've got an outlet with a Load and a Line. The old outlet wasn't marked which was which. I've figured out the power line in HOT, but don't know which white corresponds to that one. The cabling wrapping the wires was cut too far back to see. Both white wires show me a complete circuit when i test them using a voltmeter and the power line HOT.
