i am trying real hard, its just tough when you put so much into something and it just bites ya in the rump. i think ol' 420hp Tyler knows about this sorry i had too.

and it has been a good learning experience ( NEVER TRUST ANYONE) in writing is the way to go.



they (the school ) has blamed the economy, but i think that is simply an escape goat. we have newspaper articles with quotes from school officials. with talk of the jobs and internships. no real contract, and legal action should be in the near future.

the school wants to keep me here "they have high hopes for me" but i do not want to be at an institution that LIES to me. and i am broke, so job time it is for me.


when i was in highschool i wanted to be a cop, but did not pursue it to much, at the end of this semester i should have 41-43 credits.

PS. how was Buda, any of the N Texas folks go? i know that Racergurl went, she sent me some good videos.

 

Please share them! I am curious how Romario did. I know Mike went.
May have to wander over to Comp Diesel and see.

Rough weekend, but lots of fun - we decided to attend Buda last minute.

Steph & I drove down to Elgin Friday night & I installed Romario's Street Sleepers until 05:30 (started about 02:00) - 2WDs suck w/o out a lift, and all the whisky & bourbon Justin brought out probl'y didn't help, either... I never saw Tyler slur his words so much, though I did miss the time last year when he rowf'd on the commode & passed out.

Buda was pretty wild, with over 130 trucks lined up for the rollers, and dang near continous burn-outs & doughnut smokeshows from morning 'til night... we sat in a great spot to watch. Air was hot & the sun was worse - no shade for a mile - so I laid up under the truck for a spell like an old hound dawg.

Popos showed up a few times - I'm amazed no one got hurt and no trucks were smashed... there were some crazy drunks vying for biggest doughnuts in the cul-de-sac.

Even though ART said they'd run the dyno 'til everyone strapped down, they shut down early & bumped Romario to Sunday, so I didn't have a chance to help him with the dyno tune (we left for Waco Saturday night).

I don't remember seeing so many diesels even at HRP!

 

Don't run Smarty on kill with pressure box turned up for longer than a quarter mile run or 300' hook... 30-40 continuous 4th gear doughnuts at WOT exceeds the above recommendation.

 

Especially if the common rail relief valve is replaced with a block off.
Which reminds me, now that I have top end power again, I wonder what I could do at the track now.

 

Ya and I knew that but one of those things I guess didnt matter at the time

 

OK got pics that will be here soon and BTW only melted down 3 still not to much better

 

Well I am tryin but computer is not workin out! But BTW I am bringing the truck to Mike in a few weeks
