Looks like I'm never going to get my 3rd place back now... 
But I had a busy day yesterday, replaced the fuel lines on my Ryobi (one of those multi-tools with weedeater, edger, blower, & pole saw). It still isn't running well -- I think the diaphragm in the fuel pump section of the carb is gotten too brittle to work. Good thing the neighbor had a chain saw. We took a tree down in my front yard -- it was getting WAY too big. It was too close to the house, and starting to choke off my Maple and Pine trees it was between. You can see the ~16" stump next to the brick wall:
Here it is cut up & ready to get loaded up on a trailer:
And while I was working on this, I was watching that van turbo. Here's the one I got:
Now the fun part!! Rebuild!!
I'll also do the EBPV delete pedestal & outlet, and up-pipe donuts while I'm there. Should be a fun Thanksgiving weekend!!
I might put the ATS housing on it later, but for now I'll keep the Stock Garrett housing.

Happy crew means they bust their butt for you as well. Which in turn makes me more money. I buy lunch for the boys a lot, buy coffee when it gets cold.

Speaking of food. Since finishing the flares off, I have been working in the kitchen.
Marinating some t-bones for the grill. Also having baked potatoes and Caesar salad (with home made dressing). And, since I do not have to work this week, I am going to have me a couple of Patron' Texas Martinis to go with my steak.
Here's the first step:

last time I ran...we topped out a 125' pine tree...I had control of the guide line...
the line was too short for me to be clear of the fall zone...
so once it started falling, I dropped the rope and ran uphill about 30 feet to get clear
cutting down trees around homes was another intensely physical job I've done...
I loved going up in the bucket!

My right knee is gone and my ankle is still slightly dislocated (idiot surgeon). I waited too long to get surgery done to fix it and it fused where it is now. The doctor told me I would advise against running EVER again. Im 24 years old...
