Yep, Havoline is the only choice for me, no fan of waxy oils. His uses a quart between changes, not bad for a 300 I-6, he's complaining of lacking power, I keep telling him, 3 fuel pumps over the years, I'd look into replacing the injectors, they are the originals.
7 more days of giving myself IV antibiotics, every 6 hours, add you gotta remove it from the fridge to warm it up 30 minutes before administering, then another 30 minutes to run it, looking at 4 hours of sleep, oh god I'm going nutz.

As far as today we got out in the old truck. I checked it out and found a small drip in the radiator. I resoldered it and it seemed to hold. When I got back I checked it again and it still needs to be resoldered. I think I will pull it next week and resolder. It probably didn't leak out more than half a pint if that much. It was a radiator that was almost new. It probably didn't get sealed in that area from the factory. I took my wife and daughter out for a milkshake. We drove around Smithville. One guy looked like he got whiplash at the Ford dealership when we passed. We may have ot take it out to McMinnville next week. I may try to head out to Lebanon or Murfreesboro sometime this year.

Well a great ending to a absolutely awesome weekend. Got my smoked cab lights and mirror blinkers installed. Built most of my cabana, other than the roof. I was able to fully detail the wifes car and my truck....talk about super clean looking vehicles. I just wish I had time to get the porsche cleaned up and ready for spring, but thats another day.
Well next weekend is my 17 year wedding anniversary so hope to enjoy some time away from everything.
