Good Morning CGs!

Last night turned out to be pretty pleasant weather-wise. We slept with the windows open and the ceiling fans on. A nice break from having the air conditioning pumping 24/7 like it has been recently.

No progress has been made on the car. So far the ring sealing issue hasn't gotten markedly improved. The cleaner oil seems to have freed up some carbon, I could tell that through the tailpipes, but still have blowby. I'm preparing for the worst. I have to get in there with an inspection camera and check the pistons and cylinder walls.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

Morning guys...I was having a difficult time again this morning getting on, but finally. #1 daughter is here from KC with the kiddos. I have work to do in the shop, just have to decide whether or not to do it with them here, or play the good grandpa and try to entertain them. #2 granddaughter likes to come out and help me, so I may take advantage of that.

Supposed to be a bit warmer today as compared to yesterday. The heat I can take, it's that darned humidity.....

Have a great day guys.

Gúje mône!

Sheesh, at the pace the day is moving at so far, it'll be nap-time before I know it. And I'll be ready.

Have a good one, Gurus!

SUMMER IN THE NATIONS, THE SUN IS SHINING ON THE CHEROKEES AND ALL THE REST.

Supposed to be a tad cooler, lower humidity here today. Was very nice out this morning and I wanted to stay home. payday makes the office time a bit more pleasant tho.
Came out to find the driver door of my car open this morning about 4"... guessing I just didn't get it closed good last night when I got home.
Also my right rear tire pressure light came on - have 28 in left and 23-24 in right. picky thing. appears I've picked a nail up somewhere.
Do like the new Nittos up front though .. but WTH.. 12 brake pads up there??? Yeah, let the BF handle that...

Sounds reasonable to me, legal or otherwise, assuming he warned him first, or could have.

Maybe rc helicopter owner will think twice about how he operates his next expensive toy.

Good evening gang.

I agree with the property owner. It's been comfortable here for the past couple of days. Tonight I replaced our broken range hood. Took a couple of hours but the new one looks good. 42" isn't the easiest to find, had to order it.

Hey guys...been a good day here. Spending some time with the grands, some in the shop, washing and polishing daughters car, then finishing up in the shop before supper. Now I'm working on getting a computer back up and running.

Bad hard drive, so I got a new one and that means a complete re-install of everything.

The weather was actually pretty nice today, not too hot and the humidity seemed a little lower. Tomorrow it's supposed to start warming up some. Daughter and kids leave for home tomorrow. We'll take them out to eat in the "city" on their way home.

....I was thinking 3 on each side Letty......but could be wrong.....all I know is when you want to whoa those binders will pull you down.....big dam brakes...

Tires should be 30 cold on all corners. seems mine likes it better at 27 or 28 and then go to 31 when warm.....put 30 in them and a week later they are 27 or 28......never go lower......weird.....

How are you liking that Grand Sport now that you have had it awhile?
