Hey Pat, Serg, Steve, everybody.
September already?
Bill must be out blasting dove, no? Sure beats the hell out of pounding on a keyboard.

4 day weekend here...I'll take it.

We saw very few birds. This was probably the worst opener I have ever seen. Had a good trip anyway, but back in the saddle today.

I just noticed your injector thread, Steve. I hope it gets you home okay.

So do we. I guess it wasn't an exhaust leak after all.

Howdy socal! Moving is almost over!!! Woohooo!!!

And now for the good news. I need a new rim. I already needed a new tire, it had a leak, and would drain in a week. So I filled it up, and told my brother and uncle to bring it over for me while I work a double shift. Well, instead of re-airing it up as I asked, they dragges ti over, and the tire cam off the rim...it's half way on, half off, going towards the inside. Pics to follow later..

No spare?

At least those wheels are easy to find.

Are they? I haven't even begun to look yet. Too busy unpacking and working what little shifts I can get. Yeah, I have a spare, but it ain't coming off.

I'm sitting here posting from my new netbook. A refurb, Emachine, for only $200. Real cute little dude, and perfect for internet on the road. I likes it a lot.

It was a woot.com deal. Refurb remember, but I can't see that it was ever used at all. Looks and performs like brand new. I think it was probably about $400 if new.
