Just left Walmart. Sad to see Fram and Autolite disappear. All of it is being clearanced out. Got two engine air filters for mom’s car that’s all they had to fit any of ours.
What are you doing right now?

Right now I'm sitting here waiting on the ultrasonic cleaner to finish cooking the Briggs carb off my son's Lowes box store Troy Built mower. It has no power and is missing and surging so carb clean time. I tried to give it a "carb rebuild in a can" spray out, but I couldn't get the spray to go through a fixed air bleed passage. I jammed a wire through it as far as I could reach but still no squirt through the passage. Hopefully the ultrasonic cleaner will do for her.
Perhaps pics forthcoming?
Wow. For those that might have wondered, THIS ^^^^^ is exactly the reason why I no longer give out specific details.
Sorry I was busy for a little bit and couldn't reply immediately. You want to know who is the top qualifier after only two qualifying rounds, with two more to go tomorrow? Look it up yourself.
I will say that the New Hampshire Governor came out to the races, and got a tour from Bob Tasca III. She seemed stunned at the sheer violence, while standing at the line. Bob is a good guy.
In the past, on a website where I knew many of the people from in-person meetings, I have stated which team I was working with at the time, and some of the details of the program, with lots of pictures. But nothing that would violate an NDA. With one team I was working with, someone took it upon themselves to contact the racing organization, with links to the website where I had posted the non-critical pics and details.
The team owner was less than impressed that some anonymous coward would go to such lengths, to TRY and cause problems with someone on a website they might have met briefly, or maybe didn't even know.
Why would someone do that? Jealousy?, Pettiness? who knows...
So thank you for revealing that you seem to be that type of person.
As for @Legs4Arms he gave me some snarky crap in the past about a personal car of mine, when I wasn't even having any kind of interaction with him. So why would I waste my time to reply now?
I'm going to post one picture from about 15 years ago. That team has long since disbanded, and those cylinder heads are several versions past obsolete, so no repercussions or ammo for those that might like to try and cause problems for me.
You got me dead to rights, I can be snarky. Just thought you may be racing your own car.
Consider it done
Booked a 9 day trip to Honolulu for the misses and I’s 20 anniversary. Steps from the Waikiki beach. No kids just us.
Say HI to my inlaws.
We’re already going to ignore her family

Was going out this evening but the weather sucks. Am stuck watching the series Big Mistakes on Netflix
That kinda sounds like a big mistake to me
Watching the 1983 US Festival
Done packing the van. Had some small stuff to fix and add so we too everything out, rebinned reloaded. Phew.
Replaced garbage plastic 1/2” close for shower hose with brass. I think they had cross threaded it or original short China hose had lousy threads. No leak now.
Some new tough Rubber Maid bins
New shower stall and rolled rug.

Took a bike ride, put the ac units in, now I don't wanna. Wife elected to go to work tonight so she won't be home until 3--I sure won't be awake, and I'm sure hoping she doesn't wake me at that hour.
Had been working on a circuit board early in the day, finding all my mistakes and learning a few things along the way. Going to poke around in my office while listening to synthwave, then once the storm passes, take a shower and see what engine didn't make the week on I Do Cars channel.

Now I’m trying to figure out some cool stuff to do on vacation in July since we probably won’t go to Kansas as planned. Might get a few buddies together and see if they want to ride down to Charlotte to go see the really big mall down there. No parents lol. I need time away from them they’ve been driving me crazy the last few days especially. They are gonna have a fit if I say I’m going somewhere without them lol.
