Yes, Grundy county. That be the one. Ripped the roof off a big ol building full of hundreds of hogs.

All is good here Jim. Another round of storms coming Wednesday into Thursday, of course that is the time I hit the road for Denver. I'm crossing my fingers and toes for sunny skies.

Grandma smokin a doobie. It is funny...but I could totally see my Grandma Dryer smokin a joint. She was a smoker, though, and pretty rough around the edges.

I've never had that problem..not wanting to eat that is. I like food too much.

So today I made a run up to AW Direct. It's a pretty cool place. I got 2 hand held siphon pumps. One for me one for one of my buddies in the CT chapter.

I already used mine to help change my t-case fluid.

Hardest part was trying to find a 10mm allen wrench. Had to heat the plugs a little in order to free them up. When that fluid came out it came out BLACK. Put the bottom plug back in stuck the intake hose into my gallon of ATF and the outlet hose into the t-case and pumped away. How anyone could ever do it with a funnel is beyond me.

Yup.

I need to get a coolant filter and a BTS VB before I can change my coolant and trans fluid.

I guess I could start on my differential fluid swap...

Where the heck would you guys look for 75w-140?

Man Tristan, Sounds like its gonna be a little "DRY" around a area here soon!
Jim beat me too the massage joke.....
Cris I got my fingers crossed!
I also got beat to the "grow your own" joke.....
Well I got the exhaust fixed back on my yota after this weekends little episode. Sometimes beer and working pn your junk, just dont mix....
It's ready for a sticker and a frontend alignment before I completely wear out the tires!
Also found out yesterday that my friggin DVR in fried, so I missed the first couple UFC fights the other night. We were in route to a friends house to drink some beers and watch them and I was a little late and hoped my DVR caught them but that didnt happen. We got a little side tracked getting food and beer. Cant wait for the July 11 fights though. Got a wedding I got to be in the same day so its gonna be a long night!

Any auto parts place should carry gear oil.

if you have a limited slip diff, be sure and use the proper additive in it as well.

So, this year for my dad's memorial trip, I wanted to do something that I was unable to do when we spread his ashes, or last year when we visited his place..

So this year I can afford it and decided to do it. I am having this engraved on a large piece of granite so we can leave it on the mountainside where we left him:



I hope it looks good.

Yea. I've got limited slip. I've got guzzle's write-up on it printed out and sitting in my 7.3 folder in my toolbox down the shop.

Lisa: That looks awesome.

Thanks John. Still haven't quite figured out how I'm going to get it up there, its a pretty rugged atv/dirtbike trail. I guess, strap it to the quad and take it slow.

There 'ya go. It may be difficult but it'll definitely be worth it. My dad passed in '97 and there's not a day that goes by that I'm not thinking of him.
