Less then a Month...

then a bigger turbo to add to me mod sickness. Talked to Matt on Sunday, he is tossing round the notion of the 64 turbo over the 62 and on upgrading the intercooler. Bare in mind too that the supposed main purpose of this trip is to take my girlfriend to see the sights of Asheville, however, our first day there is at Matt's to get that stuff in the ole girl. Tells everyone something about where my priorities are.

I don't think she likes the idea of having to get up at 230 in the morning so that way I can take care of all the horses before we leave(so my hired help doesn't have to worry about them til later in the day(or really that's one less thing I have to worry bout them doing)) and leave for Hendersonville by 4 in the morning. Top it off spending all day having to hear Matt and I talk diesel is going to drive her nuts. If she is driven nuts and in a bad mood, then more then likely I won't be happy(ole ball and chain ain't happy, no one is happy). However, I will be having fun with the truck I'm sure.

That we are doing, in fact, we have a full day devoted to it being that this is both our first time up in NC period, never have done a horse show there yet. Mom and dad both liked it and suggested the audio tour to go along with it. Luckily the Biltmore is running a special on ticket prices and we are getting everything(audio too) for bout 16 more then one ticket at regular price without the audio(at times I can be cheap, I don't know where it comes from).

Unfortunately, I think after this little excursion the minimal limit for her to go shopping with is going to go up.
