Great minds think alike! At least I know what kind of beer to bring as a gift when we cross paths.

I hope to go to the brewery for a tour in November for my birthday.

Not just the season but you have to wonder if any parks are open in NC due to Florence.

We live about 1 hour from the NC mountains in the western part of the state. We have a spot that is for boondocking only that is 5 miles or so up a gravel road. It is open year round, but you have to be prepared for the weather.

Is that a local beer? Don't think I've ever seen it before. So what's in the lakes there? Any crocodile's? Wife asked. She's afraid of any waters where there's snakes and all. I told her there's the mojave greens where we go. But just never saw one.

Sweet Water brewing is in Atlanta, about 70 miles south of my home. It is some of the best beer I have had, to include my travels around the globe.

No alligators here, too far north. If you look up Lake Hartwell on Google, you will see it is a massive lake that forms the border for GA and SC.

There is a bass pro tournament here each year and a few different water sports events.

We live about a mile from the lake in the country and love the area. We don't fish on the lake because our pond has bass, bream and catfish. The pond is 3/4 acre and 100% on our property, so no fishing license required.

The lake is a lot of fun to drink beer on, water ski, boat, etc...

Looks like what we pull out of our pond. The catfish in it are as long as my arm.There are some decent bream, but the bass normally eat them up.

Love the large mouth bass with a shake and bake batter fried. Cold or hot, very good. Was raised on cat fish. Use to catch them, gut and cook on the grill skin down with butter and pepper. Was very good to, but the bass is way better.

Weather is finally starting to cool off in north GA. We are getting down into the low 80's during the day. I told Akcooper9 over text the other day that my install is approaching quickly, but I wanted to gather some factual numbers for the videos.

On that note, what is the fuel cutoff PSI on a tune that does not turn off the CEL or defueling? I want to say it is 25 PSI then the PCM shuts off fuel, is that right?

I was comparing the wheel sizes for the turbine and compressor for the GTP38R as well in another post, good information to have when I am making my case on why I decided not to go with a drop in turbo.

If you drink enough SweetWater you'll be fine.

When working on the truck, I usually wait to have a beer until I am just about done...

When driving our riding mower and listening to old country music, I start with a cold beer in a koozie in my hand, then one in the drink holder on the wheel well. Since I use my phone to listen to the old country music, I can call or text my wife when I need a refill and she is nice enough to meet me at the door like a drive through with 2 more cold beers.

Soon the SXE will go in, I am looking forward to it. If I run into problems, I may have to ask you to be the onsite technical support. Although, there will be plenty of food, beer and fishing for you and the family while you are here...

I think it starts defueling once boost climbs above 24 psi. My RR OCR limits my MAP to not exceed 24 psig.
