Time for the old girl to get some upgrades over the winter. :rock:

Think around Thanksgiving for me, unless the weather really changes.

OOoooops! :rofl2:

When my brother was still working for the power company as a lineman. They was replacing a pole. They was drilling the new hole about 3ft away from the old pole. All of a sudden. They pulled up about 10ft of fiber optic cables with the hole drill. :eek: Noone knew that there was a cable bundle there, and had no idea of how long it was there. The cable suited the power company for damages but lost because they did not have permission from anyone to lay the cable down. What my brother told me. The cable company lost about 2 million dollars over the ordeal. :rofl2:

Appreciate the kind words. I’ve had some good laughs this week thinking about all the funny things he’s done over the years.

On top of dealing with it myself the hardest part is explaining it to my three year old. That has not been fun.

Just took the car out for a drive around the block. She gets squirrely in 3rd gear with the lower temps.

LOL, you are not the only one. I was in 4th at 25psi with the arse end hanging way too far out there. I have to remind myself to not get pissed when it spins and get out of it. Dang thing is a handful when the temps are below 82 deg.

My car goes to Seb for tune on Nov. 2nd. New V2 higher flow blower. Upgraded the supercharger pulley again. I might have to actually use the wastegate on high boost to control boost. Normally it doesn't open on high boost. :driving:

If I was to do something stupid like that it would just WHACK the tires right to redline if I don't let out. Topfuel burnout time.

So I got the shelving up for all the detailing supplies in the garage. All the junk stored above the rafters has been removed and nothing hangs above the car now. Lights won't arrive until Monday so that'll be next weekends project.

Still debating what to do for the floor. The garage is so insanely dusty that I am not sure an epoxy or hard top would work.

It was part of the lawsuit settlement. They are bringing in city water because of the pfas contamination in the wells. In order to do that the heavy trucks were using the road and destroyed it pretty much. They did from one end to the other and its smooooth. It used to be I didnt go that way because it was so uneven and janky. Road is so smooth I can see some Winter time issues.

Them lazy ***** at the road commission would toss loose tar into the potholes and expect people to pack it down. One rollover with sticky tire and I pulled it all out of the hole and sprayed it behind me and all over my wheel wells. :mad: SOB's.

12x 4ft led strips at 6500k. I plan to hook them all in unison and use a Google home to turn them on and off. Question is if I want to mount them top down or at a 45 degree angle from the rafters.

If they offer diffusers, id check em out. I love the LED lights but they can be harsh on the eyes.

I've got old diffuser film I could use if needed once I get them installed. For detailing, is it best to have them facing directly downwards or at 45 degree angles on both sides from the rafters?
