I've the truck torn all the way down and was in the process of cleaning everything when nature interrupted me. One of my girls (cows) dropped a calf and refused to have anything to do with it so I've been busy the past couple of days rounding up colostrum, milk replacer, and my bottles and feed bags. After a shaky start where I had to tube feed her the colostrum she has finally taken to the bottle today.

I was on my way to work on the truck when I saw this notice. Now that I have a schedule for my chores things should get back to normal. The exhaust came apart with little problem after a further soaking with Deep Creep. The new Magnaflow 3 1/2" down pipe looks to be bent properly for my truck and will definitely flow a good bit better. After the clean up this afternoon I'll be resealing the HPOP and fuel bowl tomorrow and then will be putting the rest of the goodies on; FRX, CNC HPOP lines, and various o-rings. If the exhaust adapters I ordered yesterday show up in a timely manner I hope to have her running by this weekend but I hate deadlines. When I was a grease monkey I was always rushed by a promise either I or someone else had made to a customer and the pressure took the fun out of the work. Now if I don't get things done I always have tomorrow resulting in a vastly improved outlook, but I sure could have used the truck a couple of times the last few days. Oh well as the saying goes, and my boots show, **** Happens.
