Good afternoon frinds lunchtime @ work. Looking foreward to our Tucson vaction. It has been 3 years since I have seen mom or sister will be good to visit. Mom is 95 now so have to savor the time 4 sure.

Hope you all have a great day cu 2night!

 

Good afternoon everyone. Yesterday we went to Susan's folks for dinner. The food was really good and we got leftovers to take home.

I worked on Susan's dads 50 Dodge Wayfarer again. I finally got the right rear break drum off of it. The brake shoes had bonded to the drum. It is amazing how much brake technology has changed. I also tried to get the car started. It wasn't firing so now I have to work with points and a condenser. I'm learning new things about old cars. This car has a flat head inline six. We have ordered a new set of points, a condenser, and a coil, as well as new brake shoes for all four corners, wheel cylinders, and brake hoses.

Good afternoon everyone. Hope everybody had a great weekend. Been super busy lately. I was fortunate enough to enjoy two Easter Dinners this weekend. Ate way to much lol. Stepped on a scale for the first time since I started working out again. Down 22 lbs since spring break. Under 240 lbs again! Crazy that I was back to 260 over the winter. Hoping I'll keep getting decent results. Goal is to get to 200 and then start taking supplements again. I would now but it would sort of defeat the purpose of trying to diet if I'm building mass at the same time. I remember that first day back to working out and I felt sick after running a quarter mile haha. Usually put 5-10 miles on a bike or 1-2 miles of running now.

Not much instore for the monte. Still saving up to get some paint work done. Totally undecided on what direction I want to go with it. Keep it n/a and daily drive or turbo or supercharge,,, no idea right now. I'm thinking I'll probably just save for the summer and see where I'm at. Found out that I'll be getting the same amount of financial aid for next school year so that's great news. Really helps me out, I honestly don't think I'd be able to attend ISU without it. Definitely wouldn't have the Monte. Anyways, that's whats new with me since I haven't checked in a lot lately, hope everyone has a great start to their week!

 

Why can't you daily drive with a turbo or supercharger ?
I drive my 2005 Monte SS Supercharged daily , And my wife drives her 2005 Impala SS Supercharged all the time.. She Loves it..

 

Evening Everyone, nm goin on here

 

Evenin guys. Waiting on a buddy of mine to pick me up. Still no dice on the truck. They still can't get the bolt out. They're gonna try again tomorrow and then they're gonna drill and tap as a last resort. It's an aluminum intake so that's not always successful, hence why it's a last resort.

 

I think I have the design for my next tattoo basically done. I may make a few tweaks but overall I'm done. Just in time to leave. My buddy from work should be here in about 5-10 minutes.

 

I can still drive it daily no problem just don't have a second vehicle so I'd prefer to get one before tearing into mine. What takes someone else one day to install will probably take me one week so I need to plan ahead more than just buying parts. I also need a way to get to work/school, hence a new daily driver.
