    Not undrivable, but it will run like shit and your mileage will be horrid. Plus you do run the risk of smoking your cat You have to unplug it, the slide the box end over. Won't fit over the connector. But if he is changing it out he can just cut the wires.

    Did I miss something? Would me much better if the wife was around. Other than that though, it has been a pretty good day. Give it a few more weeks. You will be happy when she is away and not fucking nagging you...

    You are as clueless about the economy and politics as you are audio. I love that hill. We ride taller and steeper hills, but we hit this one several times on our rides. Happy birthday Grammy!!! Today would have been my Gramp's 102nd were he still alive.

    Didn't take too many shots today. Rode for about 4 hours. It was fuckin' cold. We hit some hills, ran the drag strip, rode a few woods trails (they were really swampy thanks to the rain we had and my son was having a hell of a time keeping his bike up), and ran on the construction if the nearby roads. For some reason my damn phone shut down 3 times I tried taking pics. So I didn't get the dragstrip (old overgrown farmer's air strip) or some of the hills we hit on the construction. Looking from the top of one of our favorite climbs. It is ~40 feet high, a good steep angle, and if you hit it right you get some solid air. Looking right down said jump/hill My son climbing a hill. Now that we showed him how to climb we can't get him to stop.

    I'd second this. I know some guys who really drive and they refuse to use strut braces. I have one buddy who runs an STi who even removed the rear sway bar. You do want some body roll to help keep the tires on the ground.

    Hard to beat Behr paints. Behr is very nice paint, and reasonably priced IMO

    If the forecast stays true we will have the largest snowfall total for May in Minnesnowta this year as well. I was just gonna ask if you got your sled fixed... Guess I know the answer.

    The o ring on the injector nearest the bumper is stuck inside the fuel rail I believe, that or it is gone completely. I'm going to try to use a dental mirror to confirm, but it feels like there is a rubbery squish when I try to put the rail down on the injector. Last time I took it off it slid back on like cupcakes. I can't get the rail to mate with the injector. It feels like it has a solid connection, but gas just sprays out. I tried petroleum jelly and wd 40 to maybe ease the injector into the o ring while inside the rail. No luck. Maybe I will get my first bit of good luck and the O ring will just be MIA and I can grab one from the store and not worry about removal from the rail. The last attempt of the night/morning had the rail seated deeper than ever but it still just shot out fuel, so perhaps it got washed out. As much of a pain all this has been for me, I don't think I have ever learned so much intangible info on working on a vehicle. Ruined the fuck out of my manicure though. Oh and thank you guys for reminding me to blow out the holes before pulling the plugs. WTF, one of the holes on the drivers side was stuffed with dried out coolant powder. Ultra nasty. the oring must be on the injector, not in the hole. Use a pick to fish it out... barring use of a pick, angle a wire coathanger to reach into the rail and fish it out.

    Just remove the bolts on that side and lift it, don't yank the entire rail. Pull the injectors with the rest of the rail in place. Use vasoline on the injector o-rings, it will slip into the intake better.

    Dielectric. It helps, just don't load the connectors down, you only need a little. Since you're the dark one with the scruffy beard, what the hell does that say. You got me. I must be a terrorist. I knew it!!! Hey I remember your jihadist ak-47 alah alah alah pic. I knew you would like that...

    BREAK OUT, DUDE! Brought it out but it was way too dusty to record anything--gotta wait for some rain. You can have some of the fucking rain that has made my back yard into bunny shit stew.

    Totally normal. I couldn't imagine a total shift like you are going through. Is it worth it? Nobody can answer that but you. If you are ready for a change, then I see no reason why it won't be.

    Do some damage to it?I think I tore it. It hurts pretty bad. If I sneeze or cough it knocks the breath out of me it hurts so bad. Just normal activity makes it a bit sore, but sudden, jarring moves are agonizing. Yuk. I'm sorry. Going to see an ortho or GP doc? Nope. I hate doctors and I don't feel like being cut on. I am doing mild exercises, heat and cold, and isolation.
