Well, I know everyone says to ditch the isolater but it's already mounted on the firewall so I want to go ahead and use it, at least for the time being. So, at this GTG I need to finish up the fuel pres. gauge install and drill and the tap the mainfold for the pyro, if yall don't mind. Thanks, Vern

I'll consider bringing the trailer if there is a big need for it. It's kind of a hassle for just one night though...that's why im considering just coming for the day and driving back late.

In addition to turbo/trans upgrades coming soon.....I also want to finish out the "Black Out". So now im also considering headlights too.

Which of these would you vote for on my truck?? I have an opinion (I think), but I will withhold that until I hear yours. Thanks for playing in my mini (N TX only) poll!

Allow me to rant if you will...

Ya'll did not meet me until after my wreck. Before the wreck, I was able to do a lot of things with relative ease. Not so anymore.
Physically I am healing. However, my mental function is not up to par to say the least.
It just took me 6 days to do a small wiring project on my truck that should have taken me a few hours after work. I am (was) certified in electronics and DC circuitry. I can no longer remember anything. I spend all of my time now trying to remember how to test a circuit and end up blowing fuses anyway.
I must thank Bnold for his patience and help via PM for all the questions I had.
I am hoping I will get better mentally but let's face facts, it will be a year next month since I was hit on my motorcycle and I am just as bad now as I was then. I should find out Monday if there is any treatment for my brain to regain some of what I have lost.
THANKS GUYS!
Wayne

If it's too cold, you're too old,

OK, that phrase may be harmless. But when you put it in quotes, that's just wrong...especially at a meet with all guys.

Hey, you gotta love the Silver Lining - at least you've got an excuse...

What about poor SOB's like me that don't have a good reason when we screw up?

p.s. oh yeah - did you forget to pick up that $$$ 4" muffler from the shop? Remember how I just wanted to give it to ya, but you insisted on paying so much for it...

Wayne,

Wow! I have only met you maybe twice I think....and I think both tims it seems we were very busy. I believe I was under my truck pretending like I could put in my Walbro pump by myself.... You were pretty busy working on something too IIRC.

Anyway I didn't know about the motorcycle wreck or any lingering problems from it. I wish you all the best in your treatment and for a full recovery!!
