YES andy! that storm was incredible. the lightning was non-stop and right on top of us. i couldnt see more than a foot out the windows it was raining so hard. then when i got home, it was just water and leaves all over the ground with clear skies.

have a great day, hope everybody can get something done or at least make some money in the lovely weather.

Oh man Greg. The girly friend loves IKEA. That place is like damn rat race. There are so many people in there, drives me nuts. Good luck!

Aaron, that sounds like a PITA. Glad you got it done though. What kind of mercedes were you working on? Some sort of work van or something?

Have a good day gentlemen. Glad to see the blue sky is supposed to keep up for the GTG tomorrow. Hope to see ya there! Too bad I will be new tireless!

We didnt get much from the storm here in Middletown really. I didn't notice much either because I was playing a little MW2 with my buddy. We had heavy rain for maybe 5 minutes, and one or two claps of thunder. I did see a few decent flashes of lightning, but nothing close

Well, I hate to throw up a triple post(except that it helps my daily average. 0.4 posts per day and growing! ), but I just ran some sea foam through my carb and changed the fuel filter, and it seems to be making a noticeable difference. Not to mention the smoke show was a lot of fun!

Yep, just picked up another can and put it in the fuel. Seemed to help a little more as well. I am certainly enjoying the fact that the truck is running a bit better.

Good afternoon all

I spent the day cooking at a fund raising fair at my sons school today.
It was a great day to have it but it was a little windy, the flame on the big grill kept getting blown out.
