HAHAHA If that was true, I would be crying right now instead of


Unfortunately, it looks as if tomorrow might not turn out as pretty up in PA, they are claiming 46 and rainy... maybe I will get lucky

What are the rest of you up to this weekend? I am sure Angelo will be out making a mess of anything that pulls up next to him on the streets, George will be out hammering on his new trans and "breaking it in" what about the others...

Down the shore this weekend doing some work around the house and checking on my boat. Looks like it will be done for next weekend, can't wait to hit the water again. Other than that, really nothing for me. Glad I fixed my compressor and got my horn back, some people just forget how to drive when the nice weather hits.

sure would be nice to be down the shore today, seeing as I wasted my eniter morning and a bit of the afternoon looking for the right size tap and drill bit for my pyro, coming home with only the tap what is it with the big stores not having items on the shelf, i know for a fact most of them have automated stock, when an item sells , it comes off inventory, why can't it just be re ordered when it gets low, I tried the mom /pop shops firts but they were out/ didn't have to start with. Now I am stuck waiting till Monday to go to a m - f supply shop. I can not get a break........ if I would have decided on doing my flares instead I might be done by now. gotta go to a b day party in a bit so afternoon is shot all to bits too.

EDIT: Just ordered the tap kit online, but that doesn't help me today, oh well, at least it will be here by next weekend, I hope, now to see what tomorrow's weather is like and see if I can get the flares on.

Mike, if yours is an Isspro, you could have just used mine. After doing it, I will probably never need it again

Sure would be a good day to be somewhere else, but in an hour I get out of here, then a short ride and the cold beers shall flow... haha

you know mike, im still a little green in tranny knowledge, but when chris from deisel wurks was explaining it to me, i thought he said def. 3rd and 4th lockup and something about second, i dont know you will have to tell me when i see you.so far its incredible. i asked him about a lock up switch, that me and dusty were talking about, and he said its not needed, cause of the way he tuned the VB.talk to you later

Well it is the end of the weekend, got my swaybar bushings and new endlinks just need to find time to install them. Worked on the honda this weekend giving it its first brakejob at 93,000. I think i got my money out of those brakes.

All i did this weekend is pick up rock and transport it to my house for some nice garden walls when i find time. Ohh well beats working inside

Well, mother nature decided to dump buckets of rain on me yesterday just as I was getting some work done on the house, so all progress has been halted until next weekend.

Phil, saw you today on 287 by my exit, waved to you but you seemed to be in a different zone.

Mike, can't wait to see the flares on the truck. What time is the Petros thing? 10-2 or something like that? I may take a ride up and attend that, maybe someone will buy the PowerPup from me there. Anyways, have a good week guys.

Tom did you see me in morning or evening? I generally am in another zone,when i am at work. Always trying to figure out how to get away from this job.

Should have blasted the horns would have woke me up

I figure leaving my place at around 9:30, meet up with whoever along rt 80, and get there in time for noon.
Guess we got to pick spots to meet up along the way, Tom, JR, I could meet up with you just west of 287, Pat, not sure where to meet hang out till whenever and cruise on home, either as a group or singly as needs differ from one to the next. JR, if you make it out there, we can definitely give the tire try a shot.
