Going to light the stove in the shop and finish taking the trans out of the 97 today, only got to spend a couple of hours at it yesterday. All that's left is to unbolt the trans from the engine and drop it down. Damn, that ZF5 looks heavy.

Thanks Nick. My arthritic knees and hips don't much care for crawling around under trucks. A reminder of why I don't do it much anymore.

You'll have to let us know how it sounds after the cats are "modified".

Hi everyone.

Damn, I almost forgot what work was. It wil take about a week or so to get back into the swing of things and hopefully the muscle aches go away.

I thought winter was over, guess I was wrong. Windy, cold, and a light dusting of snow here.

Yeah, I'm happy. I'll be even happier if they have work through the summer and next winter.
Being sore is just part of getting back into the swing of things.
