All you thinkers have a great monday! Be careful in your endeavours!
My honey-do list was changed to a daddy-do list, so far. She wants her Dad to build us a kitchen table and coffee table.

Zebra, that Blazer.... what mpg's are you getting?
If you can get it for cheap you could probably fly out there and drive it back for less than 250 bucks. Those things get like 45 mpg. Other than that, I couldn't be happier with my little Kia.

Your welcome, but frankly, I thought they quit making the air filters for our factory boxes so I went to a Wix... after half drowning my Amsoil recently.

I was going to try and size up a Amsoil filter to my Volant air box but never got around to it.

Well, she just pretty much said it's mine. She needs a website for her business, and I'll do that for her in exchange..... but she doesn't need or use it.

Jbrew got the body lift today, thanks again!

Also this was accomplished on my house today, replaced a rotten corner and post. And put in a new front door in a space that was 1/2" too small... ready for a beer. All in preparation to have the house professionally painted. Still have to replaced all the trim around the chimney due to woodpecker damage.

That body lift will get under my truck eventually too

Not that great lol. I'm averaging 17.5 but I drive pretty hard. Long highway trips I get around 20-21 mpg. Around town like 16

I actually am going with the lightning supercharger as you probably know by now. A company called JLP makes a real nice intake that sucks from the fender as well as a hose that routes into the grill area so it pulls plenty of cool air. The one I ordered will fit in the JLP box

Man that was quick, I figured Tuesday at the earliest. The post office is pretty cool up town. Going to be relocating in a month or two and they gave me 40 new large boxes for FREE lol. Heavy boxes as well, can't purchase good ones here locally. The Uhaul and Home depot boxes suck. Anyway glad you got it.

Yea I had to rebuild porch posts on house #3. They used cheap pine and painted over. Rotted from the ground up. Easy job though. Fascia, wooden soffit and trim will do the same using cheap pine with time. Termites can help that along. I've seen woodpeckers and thought they were the cause, but it's usually termites, products used or poor workmanship around here.
