DUDE!!!!!!!!! WD-40 was never meant to be ingested. Better slam a few beers to purge your bloodstream. LOL

PBS is playing "Cream Reunion Concert"; giving me chills...

Aside from playing with the truck, what's up with tomorrow?

BTW, love ya back!

Hypoid is right on. Water is your friend! Advil might also be your friend...

Anyway, I'll keep watch for any engine parts that come flying this way.

It's going to be up in the 50's here today, so I can get out and work on the pile.

I'm doing allright. but have not done any wrenching yet. Considering the recent boat purchsase, I'm thinking I should clean up around the house and kiss up to the misses some. It might be a dinner and movie night instead of track-night.

Now you have a boat to haul around with your truck! I knew it was only a matter of time.

Yeah, now I have to get it running consistently. The Jeep isn't rated to tow that boat. I'm working on some wiring and little gremlins on the truck now. I got the interior lighting and indicators working good now. The hedalight switch just needed some WD40...

I'm putting on a decorative rear bumper that will have some serious backup lights. I can use the backup light to kill the trailer brakes in reverse.

I might get around to wiring the NOS up later. she seems to be running good enough. Although, it's an 80% chance of rain tonight. So,a track trip is probably not gonna happen.

You're right...not a fishing rig. I won't hold that against you. LOL
I can see it now..."Fastest ski boat in Texas, Ford FE Nos powered 428 CJ"
Pulls arms right out of their sockets.

Nice boat. Merc V8?
