Stop in for a cup of coffee

I got to check out the new straight 6 twin turbo this weekend (guy i went to get my seats from is one of the top engineers and had a test truck at his house... ) Those things run sooo smooth you can't really tell they are running from inside the truck and make great power...
One thing he told me i found interesting was they would have kept making the hemi forever if they could have.. and that each one made only cost chrysler $2100..
Does not surprise me one bit. That was the same case with the Cummins 5.9 that went into dodge trucks. But the gooberment mandated additional controls non emissions related and that resulted in them having to go with the 6.7. I did the the CAD work for them.
 
Woke up to a series of text messages. Begging me to attend tonight’s combined city and county council meetings… hell no. The mayor got caught last week having made a deal over two years ago now, with a bus company out of Mexico. Theyve been bussing in illegals to the city since, every 4 hours and allegedly, the rest of the city and county leadership “were completely unaware” as was the Governor and the state legislature. Citizens are beyond pissed and they’ve had to rent a larger venue to host this meeting. So if the “unaware” part is true, this gonna be even worse than the school drama two weeks ago. Nope, Chris has a truck to work on. Chris not going and will watch the fireworks explode from 8 miles away
 
I have been gone for a few days doing some instructor development training and you guys have thrown up twenty some pages? Holy smokes! I am taking a down day, cleaning all my gear and listening to it rain!
That’s low. Some days we do 20 pages a day
 
Well going to lower the seat in the old truck today so some of you big guys going to MITP can get behind the steering wheel. :thumbsup:

I do remember valiantly trying to squeeze in there to drive it. To no avail! Maybe a couple more toddies and I could have pulled it off. Just not many folks my size when that truck was built!
 
It's Mercury Monday!

Think the only way to get you behind the wheel is extend the cab about 2 feet. LOL
 
Bad weather left with The Winternationals :lol: Should be good until next weekend when the rain returns for Easter :rolleyes: . Reminds me of the message our oval track owner/operator put on his big sign board every winter :lol: C U IN APRIL. Along comes April and it's SPRINT CARS SATURDAY NIGHT! BE THERE! I miss ole Doug Forte.
 
Morning, cold and snow overnight, 14 degrees and 4 inches of the white stuff. Dogs had a good time on our walk to feed the horses. Now for some oatmeal and some coffee.
 
That didn't work. :soapbox: Got the pigtail connector for the ministarter. Looked perfect, but would not go on right. Got stuck halfway and broke it removing. :BangHead: Guess I am looking for a stud kit...

Happy Monday
