I'm not going to miss that for awhile lol.

We've had flood warning here, for the last 3 days. Lots of snow melting and it's raining.

Didn't know if you guys realized that or not.
Yeah, I used an oil pencil to mark where they were on the 3V I've been working on. So, as long as the timing was right before, it is now. I never heard it run before this though, so....

Yea, I read that earlier, "as long as it was right before". Chances are it should be..unless there's a reason it might not be? Hard to say from here lol.

Yeah... LOL. I hope the busted guide didn't allow it to skip a tooth before I got to it.

I've spent way too damn much time working on snow removal today. As soon as I get in and showered, it started back up. Efffff.......

Whitey.....I tried the Lubegard Red today. I pulled out enough fluid with a hose and suction gun and then added it. By the time I drove 3 miles it was like a new truck again. I took it on a 20 mile run and the damn thing is about perfect. No more harsh shifts from 1-2 and OD slip. I'll go ahead and do a filter swap when the ground clears up, but until then, this will have to do. The fluid wasn't grey or burnt, and still had a lot of pink to it. I'm sure it was just weakened from the use. Don't get me wrong, it didn't shift bad, but just a little weird. Now presto, clean shifts again.

Lol , that's how it went here the last time, two storms back to back.

I think AK's been throwing his snow on us this year.

I have Brew. We decided that you really needed the fresh snow pack for your water supplies, and since we had enough for everyone, we'd be nice and send it your way. By the way, you are welcome.

Ok, today I went ahead, (Thanks Whitey for buying that damn Dewalt, lol) and stepped up for the Milwaukee 3/8 cordless ratchet. I already have a light weight 1/4, and use it for dashes etc, but this 3/8 will make it easier to work on timing covers etc. I curse you Whitey....making me spend money on something I'll only use weekly or more often, lol.

Bear it's good to see you pop in once in a while. Glad you are recuperated and doing well. Glad the PT didn't do you in. LOL

Does your GEM have an "achy breaky heart"? Poor thing.

I'll pass on the swim. At least until the water warms up. 62 ambient isn't going to make me want to jump into anything right away. LOL. Thanks for the offer though. It was kind of you to be so thoughtful.
