Happy new year to everyone. Let's hope this one is boring. I'm expecting corona to be done shortly with the mid term elections starting soon.

Carry on Zack. Cummins makes a damn good engine. It's the Dodge with the ghost trailer they put all around it that is the problem.

Well time for new batteries in the Excursion I guess. Was a little cold yesterday up here and she did not want to start after work sitting out by the bay in the wind.
