Yeah... I was pretty surprised. Even the Gates Chinese stuff has been OK for me. Frankie has a Gates HD water pump that came outta China, and it's been solid.

I do have a factory tensioner pulley for a Fox Body that I am going to rebuild with US or Japan bearings. Kind of a unique design I've never seen anywhere else (on a car). It's a two piece clam shell type thing with rivets holding it together. We have machines at work that have similar German bearings on them.... but never seen this on a car any other time. (Pics are from Ebay)

 

Ran across this Cortez the Killer cover tonight.... thought you might like it Brew, and whoever likes guitar music. Satch tears it up.

 

Wow!

Man, wish that one was 4 times as long...

 

Beautiful day for a ride, except for getting hit in the forehead with a rock from a gravel train going the other way.
Hurt like a **** but didn't bleed much, we were doing 60 mph so the wind dried it up.
Here is a condensed video of the ride from the 18 videos I recorded.

I could go for that too!

 

She has the perfect voice for it as well.

 

Yes, she really does!

 

Hey a quick heads up....
We are having a National emergency test today.

****IMPORTANT WARNING: Even if your cell phone is on silent, it will go off with that very loud test warning. So, for those of you who may have secret/hidden cell phones for your own safety, please make sure you turn that cell phone OFF. Turning the phone off is the only way the alert will not come through, revealing the location of that phone.*****

If you know anyone in a domestic situation that could have a hidden phone reach out to them and let them know to turn it off.

Detriot area is 2:20 pm

 

We went for a little ride in the canyon up the street from us tonight. It was very colorful!

 

Driving back from Aspen today, I had to stop for this.
