It has been drizzling here since yesterday afternoon, Mustangs hidding in my garage for now.
The last week or so has been real nice and the forecast for the rest of this week is for warm weather.

That's to bad. Here in Sunny Manitoba, I got out the lawn tractor and mowed a new area for a garden and then proceeded to till it. Morked out pretty nice. Still can't get into the main garden, but even a little bit is good! Took the motorcycle out for a quick buzz the other day too. Man I've missed that thing.

not much to say, its been a major pain in the *** and likes fighting me every step of the way, its an 86 Ranger with a 5.0L high output engine, CNC ported/polished upper/lower intakes, e7 heads, oversized valves (1.84/1.54), crane energizer roller 1.6:1 roller rockers, underdriver pullies, 4 core rad with a 15" electric fan (keeps it under 190* pretty much all the time) AOD with a stage 2 B&M shift kit, i put an explorer rear end with an 8.8" L/S diff with 3.73's, narrowed the diff a total of about 18" (about 12" narrower than a stock ranger diff) i currently have 28x10.5" MT ET drags mounted on some 15x12" rims but i want to get some quicktimes or some ET streets 12-15" wide, the thing goes like stink, but im always afraid something is about to blow... i mean i did build it :P i dont trust my workmanship
