Tonight I drove the Mustang for the first time since October of 2024. It was experiencing spark blowout above about 6 PSI when I put it away, and still needs new plugs, but it was fun to get it back out again, regardless.

I may or may not have mixed it up a bit with a WRX in the pass on the way home. We stopped to talk, and he was impressed by my speed and handling capabilities, especially with the car being being RWD.

I've been contemplating selling it, but now I don't know again.

Yeah... he's not a fan of Virginia, so he's coming back. He never even got as far as unloading his tools off the trailer. Everything is still on there, just as I secured it.

On the laptop... it's almost there!! I am particular about sound. The Lenovo speakers I got are too big to fit... so I decided to force the Realtek HD Audio driver to update. Windows was trying to tell me that the Realtek driver from June of 2024 was the latest when the MS Catalog had one released in November. It would not let me go to the November version, but I did get the August release to work. Then I added FxSound from the MS Store. It sounds sooooo much better now.

If you have 10 or 11, this is a nice little add on.

Sometimes I feel like getting something else to work on.... don't really "NEED" an eighth vehicle. So I think about letting Frankus go. But the little ba$stard holds such a soft spot in my heart now.

I mostly need to work on Shane now though. These shoulders need to be a priority. I've put it off way too long.

Flashback to when Ron told me "my Corvette is charging weird, can you look at it"?



After I fixed this, however, it still was not charging. Turns out, this crap must have blown the fusible link. My Buddy Ron just put a regular blade fuse in there, lol. I found that and put a fusible link back in... all was well.

Desmond Child posted Sophie Lloyd's performance of Livin on a Prayer. Desmond Child wrote the best Bon Jovi songs. Period.

Oh, my Lloyd!
