Good Morning CGs!

Haven't had a chance to be online the past few days aside from morning chat. Been busy around the house and with the car. Got my new walbro fuel pump installed the other day - ran great for 2 mins then stopped! I was devastated, did some testing, pulled the pump, learned the wiring inside the tank had come unattached - possibly while reinstalling in the tank it got bumped. Back together and pressure is great! I'll do a tech thread on it later. Picked up the xterra from the dealer and and is supposed to be fixed. Worked on the pool a bit yesterday, too. Hopefully no more leaks!

Gonna try to find some time later to catch up on threads.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

Off to visit the dentist this morning. Fill one little cavity and I'm good to go for awhile. I hate the novocaine part though. That numb lip stuff sucks. Have a great day everyone.

Morning guys. Not much planned here. I got another little cabinet job last night. Shouldn't take much time if I had the materials. I'll order them today for delivery next week.

Ball games tonight if we don't get rained out.

Tommy, I know exactly what you mean, I end up slobbering all over myself. Matt, it really makes you wonder, then it's great to find that it was you that messed up and not the part. Well keep all four on the ground today.

It's Thursday night here in Manila, looking forward to boarding a homeward-bound plane Saturday morning - I'm completely beat. However, I don't recall ever seeing so many women who'd fall into the range of "I'd hit it" to "Sweet mother of GOD!!" in one place.

....

Something in the Native/Japanese/Spanish mix that is somewhat appealing.

I had the same thing happen to the car in my avatar, the wire came off the Walbro. It really wizzed me because it happened in the first lap of a race. Blew a whole weekend to get 1/2 of a lap in.

For some uncanny reason that's how I envision Central Coasters daily commute to work.

I allowed the hatred to fester inside for an entire day before I got to pull the pump and find the cause of the problem. I was relieved to say the least.
