Good rainy Saturday morning CT!!!

 

h.o. penn (cat dealer in newington) does the oil analysis kits for about the same price FYI

RAIN!

 

Well that's good to know for those of us in central CT. Its way more convenient then waiting 2 weeks. I'm in Newington every couple of weeks anyways, probably heading down there today for a Best Buy run.

I can walk to H O Penn in like 2 minutes, Greg, if your coming to Newington why dont you drive thru my yard and wave. Im outside pressure washing trucks, when im not typing on this thing.

Our yard is across from Lowes (behind total fitness)

 

How long you going to be there for? I'm still unshowered and not sure exactly when we are getting out of here. Sooner rather than later I hope.

 

Probally till noon, unless I start drinking early.

 

Oh, I'll make it before that. I image it will be 45 - 60 minutes more, probably 10:30 or so. My wife has an appointment, but my daughter and I will stop on through.

 

Last I knew Penn wanted significantly more for it. That's why I went the Blackstone route.

I know Penn is hurting for business right now though.

That's exact from what they sent me.

And I messed up the fuel filter by forgetting to put the o-rings on the new one because they fell out of the box. That resulted in fuel spraying onto the fan and spraying all over the side of my truck and the shop.

I was irritated and not thinking straight so I just put the old filter back in and tossed the new one. It wasn't until I was changing the oil that I found the o-rings and realized the problem. They fell out and went underneath the truck because the box fell apart when I was walking into the shop.

 

when are you gunna be there this week? well have to meet up for lunch someday. itd have to be later in the week as my trucks gettin bodywork done from monday till wensday.

still sprinkling on and off here. missed another day at the speedbowl cause of rain.
