i hate wireless internet.
it never seems to work right in my house.

but no, the clients I set it up for, works perfectly, all the time...

just like my friends' cars. they never seems to have problems after I touch them, but oh no, my truck can not be the same way...

case and point, the hose that went dead yesterday.

after i get done working today, i am going to get on that.

shouldn't take too long

Don't be so hard on your truck...it was just an old hose that finally let go. Not like it was a mechanical failure or anything.

Maybe that's the source of your problems. Vicious cycle of revenge...lol

I pulled one of my spark plugs today....it's black and covered in soot. I was gonna buy a new set of plugs, but I'm going to try cleaning them up first. Money is a little tight at the moment, and these plugs aren't but a year or so old.

BTW I run -only- premium gas, 93 octane. Naysayers are aplenty, but I KNOW that it does give me more power and better mileage.

my carb is so out right now that to restart her i have to mash her to the floor and grind and grind before she starts. and, yes higher octane would probably help.
