I have a house there also, so it won't be THAT bad, but the being away from home for 5-7 days at a time is gonna be rough. Hopefully business will pick back up soon, but it doesn't look good. Since Christmas......our business has completely DIED. I gotta do what I gotta do though......
Yes you do. The family always comes first.

Yes and no. It is moving forward anyway. We now appear to have fuel delivery or carb issues. Going to work on it more tomorrow night I think. Thank you for asking.

Unless there is a car wash to go to instead?????

You're the man. Thanks for posting that! I love the sound of a straight piped anything.

Didn't take much urging though.

Cris...I think its gonna rain this weekend....might have to hold off on the truckwash.

Hey Jake.

I remember one time driving thru Salem, NH and hitting the railroad tracks just right...my muffler came off...I drove past a policeman directing traffic...he gave me a dirty look...I stopped at an autoparts store and got a clamp to fix it...it was just a cherry bomb that dumped 18 inches behind the cab...sure sounded good though!

How was day 2 of school?
It wasn't bad!! Just as much happened today as yesterday.. it was my mechanis class and we went over the names for different tools.. very exciting!! They are only basic tools.. wrenches, hammers, squares.. fun stuff.. sad thing is some people don't know what the tool is that is being held up.. oh well.. should be an easy A at least!!
