No reason the house and garage needed to be completely empty to sell.

All due to false information about the police shooting two black men when in fact it was a black man that shot a policeman. Yikes! People are stupid!

On another note: Happy Tuesday!

And we have a signed purchase agreement now on moms place. Closing on July 17th.

So I need some helpful suggestions. Some neighborhood cat has been spraying our front door at night once in a while. What can I realistically do to scare it off. All suggestions other than shooting it will be considered.

Which neighbor is it? Could you trap it and release it a few miles away?


Worked on the pickup again after work yesterday. I replaced the y pipe that I think we broke when removing the engine and now I'm having trouble getting the turbo flange to seal. The new y pipe is a lot stiffer than the hold one. I left the bolts loose and then installed the turbo and clamped it down. I think I probably need to remove the up-pipe to manifold bolts completely, get it seated and then try and get the bolts back into the manifolds. Truck feels better now but there is a pretty good leak when you get on the throttle still. I might swing by home depot and pick up the parts to build a boost leak tester and make sure the charge pipes and intercooler isn't leaking too.

Yeah those new uppipes can be a bit stiff. Usually when I do them I just leave the manifold bolts loose and hook up the turbo and bolt all that tight and do the manifolds last. A boost leak detector at this point would probably be a good thing.

I have no idea who's cat it is. Only seen it around a couple times.

That sucks Chris. Not sure what size you need for the boost leak tester but I do have one if you want to use it.
