Ha, you are pretty visible, where you live. But you have been to my place, so you know i am secluded. When I built the Garage building, I bootlegged my own septic system. Had the foundation guy hide a 4 in drain along the back of the building. After I got my final inspections, I went and bought a 1000 gal poly tank, and shoved it back into my woods. Had a load of gravel delivered at the end of the driveway. Then I waited until the middle of the day, and middle of the week. I got my buddy over with a backhoe, and installed the tank and a 80 ft drain field. Dug up the outlet pipe behind the garage, and connected it all. 20 years now, no problems...:thumbsup:

Tried to get county to permit me to install a rain water recovery system. No go! I had already ran drains from lots of key locations to the central tank, in ground. They wanted to permit as a septic system, with required leach field. As I already had a septic and leach field, "cannot have two"!!! Fought the good fight, no success with those bone heads..So all those drains now just go to the driveway, and all that water goes down the street! Much better!!!:wtf:

That is screwy. Sounds like some guys who read the regs but don't understand their purpose. :(

"All inground waste water containment vessels must have an appropriate leach field, la de da da" Seems rain water is classified as waste water!

Wastewater (or waste water) is any water that has been affected by human use. Wastewater is "used water from any combination of domestic, industrial, commercial or agricultural activities, surface runoff or stormwater, and any sewer inflow or sewer infiltration".

With that definition it would consider my Spring set up, (which incidentally has been tested as some of the purist water tested) as wastewater. Note to self NEVER move to the state of regulation and Smart People with absolutely no common sense. Cisterns were a big thing here and still many in existence.
 
I have been noticing that the Major News networks no longer call a Meteorologist...Meteorologist or weather men. They are becoming CLIMATE SPECIALIST. $$$$

They are still good. They can go 100k.
If you were using the Bosch Iridium plugs then you would replace them at 100k

just oem champions. Trying to solve the low mpg issues. New plugs and packs were today’s special, next will be O2 sensors and then the throttle body

Nyquil got me to sleep good. But when I woke up throat felt like I ate gravel. Thought it was strep. Urgent care said prob just from dry air breathing through mouth. Tea with honey has that back to ok. Feel crappy, but going to work...

Catalytic converter, low mileage...they get plugged up, and eventually will stop the vehicle all together. Take it to a muffler shop, they can test it....
Or not!!! who knows....

Replaced those in August under that assumption as well. Didn’t change a thing.

when we got it, it averaged a hair over 15. It’s down to 11.3 down. Fuel filter was changed in the spring , cats in August, now new plugs. We shall see if that helps

Does it drive the same? or is it sluggish?

Haven’t driven it after the plugs, but it feels like it drives the same as it did when we bought it. But to be frank, I rarely have driven it, it’s my wife’s daily and I might drive it once a month. I take my Jeep everywhere
 
I saw a commercial for the drug JARDIANCE. No idea what it's for but one side effect grabbed my attention... 'a rare but serious infection of the perineum'...

Stuff causes a taint infection! Gooch disease! Grundle trouble!

I'd rather just stay sick!

Different tires? Same oil viscosity?

Brand new tires, same ones that were on it Michelin's. Pressures set to 50 psi, Max is 55 cold.

Same exact brand oil, 5w20. I run Quaker State. Wix filter
 
Wife is out driving it now, and tomorrow we’re taking a decent road trip so I’ll be able to get a good mpg calculation
 
On my way home, picked up my latest project. 69 383 4spd formula S, needs some love.
