It sounds like work was a real bummer for you.

Im Heading over to Belle Tire this Morning...
Getting new tires put on the silverado...
Considering, It hasnt had new tires since 2007!
They were 4 ply Toyo AT's 40,000 mile tire That we put well over 75,00
miles on. With so many heat cycles over the past 6 yrs of towing/Traveling
There starting to form cracks between the treads... and the Treads are down to the Minimum for safe travel.

Not sure what kind Im going to put on it...
Maybe some all season 6 plys?

Time to get off of here and get the day started!
Coffee, eggs Toast and Sausage should be a good start before heading out.
Have a Great Day EV1!

Cool 'hi

Hi Taz & MCF Member's
Just checking whats happening on the MCF.
Space said to say hi to all. >Hi all

He stated in his fax that crime and corruption is really bad in many of the Caribbean ports and many workers live in fear.
His company computer was stolen & he stated that he was glad that he was not permitted to take his own puter. I wish I was down there working with him cause I dont like living in his prison warehouse apartment 4sure.
Peace=happiness....from

Well, I am back to work from a long weekend. What I learned.... I am tired of Oracle's Java app and the problems it presents as we upgrade (recent problem, it's nag messages when it becomes out of date). So far, any fix I've seen to supress this, Oracle breaks in the next build.

A side from that, tonight, weather should be nice, the Monte will go on it's SECOND trip out this year (when the wife and I go to dinner tonight). It has a new tune on it and I am still feeling some tweaks may be required. Still have some repair work to do (new wheel hub and A/C condenser) and a couple mods (L26 UIM and Driver Info center).

I hope to have the L26 UIM done before the GM nats. I don't want to share this until it's DONE, but, I think I may have found an AWESOME solution to the PCV venting (figured it out last week and got the fitting I needed yesterday). I'm still a little ways away from getting to that finished product. But once I'm there, I'll be sharing.

And, last night I posted a "for Sale" thread offering some services for minor PCM adjustments. If you are interested, check the thread out here:

Feel free to PM me with questions and I will do my best.

Afternoon all - just coming in from finishing some yard work, well attempting to at least, since my yard is a frigging swamp, and yesterday's rain didn't help matters.
