My tranny has yet to get over 120* here. Of course I think 94* has been our hottest day so far!

Ouch! That is not only warm, that is downright toasty

Edit: 94 is nothing to sneeze at either.

I'd be willing to bet that over 100 of those are me due to the # of PMs that got sent back and forth.

Well the lawn got mowed today. Dang that grass was long. Got the bird crap cleaned off Pinkie. Now I'm gonna eat and then go visit my PSD. Hooking the boost gauge in today as well as slimming the battery tray down a bit. Then I'll see what's involved in pulling my grill to do a Zoodad.

PMS is a hell of a disease.

Sorry, Cris, but I can't resist posting this.... as odd as current conditions are, I'm basking in the pleasure of enjoying them!



Then again, maybe GLOATING is a better word than basking.

Yea. It was leaking right at the fuel filter. For now we just went to advanced autoparts and got a generic in-line filter until we can get a proper new one.

What's funny is that it is the same filter I have installed on my lawnmower.

And Jim I don't know if you guys found J-L's smiley face earring, but I didn't find it when I swept up the shop. I did find her bookmark though. If you want it let me know and I'll mail it up to ya.

The 95 7.3 needs new front glass so I figure I'll see if those guys want to take a crack at installing my mirror because
I tried following the instructions for doing it yesterday, but it just confused the hell out of me.

I'd like to hear some of the accents though. F350-6 is always talking about how thick his drawl is...

Pete, that grill comes out so easy your jaw will drop when you pull it. I think it's four screws and then a couple of clips and it's out and laying on your lawn.

Go for it!
