Maybe that was my problem, I should be chasing VP positions

No mood lighting in the hub RJ No floor or ceiling, kind of have to monkey around in them. that one is significantly larger than the one at my school. I should have stood on the other side the the pitch gear drive would have been visible. the big silver box is part of the battery backup system.

I hot shotted out to NM today to clean my place up and MOVE out of here.

Quick RP question.

RP with out the pressure box is around 13-16K with the box its about 16-20K is it safe to run miles and miles with the pressure box on. the truck does not surge with the box on and smarty on #9 when I cruise at 68mph

also, went to loves and prepaid $40 and the pump never shut off... and I got an email back Siemens about employment. good afternoon after a bumpy start. trailer tire lost tread.....

PS. thanx Chris, and congrats to you again too.

I need some of that. Jenny just asked me tonight and I quote from my blackberry "dude just sign over rights, you dont want him. all our problems aside ive never been able to say a bad word about you as a father. but you're a liar, and a joke. Enjoy your night out, we are all better off without you." Told her I could not pick up Cooper today like scheduled. Had a back class at 1pm and 24 staff duty. She seen me leave town around noon heading to my apt in PT uniform. Then came home around 630pm for chow and to change back into ACU uniform to head back to duty after dinner. Man I never thought I would get home from war and deal with a wife that did not keep true to her vows. Sorry guys I've just had it with this woman. I've tried to be nice and it's getting real hard. Good thing is out of this whole thing I have found God again like I never have before. Also have rekindled a relationship with my mother again and we are closer than ever. I just keep praying.

Sorry about the rant.

Bringing this to top. Suspect it got lost in your good news about fuel pump and job!

Not a 3rd Gen pro but I've read somewhere that pressure boxes are causing some injector troubles. MP-8?
Can't remember specifics but I would not run it full time till I get expert approval.
Anyone know for sure?

EDIT - Got curious; found this in a search........
