He’s laying right where Crusty the F-150 sat for almost two years now. I had no clue I had a Ford fan with my Dog.

Sunday turned out pretty good. I had 3 locals stop by with their quads and there were about 8 snowmobile runners down the street. The quads were ok, not my thing though. Those snowmobiles? They’re insanely fast. In a straight line.. I may need one. Just for laughs.

First, I love the current tag. Some of SNL’s best work.

The lake is frozen and it welcomes newcomers.

It’s so ugly it’s hard to not love it. The price puts it close to Gambler 500 territory too.

Oof! Here’s the text of the ad.

With every new love there come little issues.

Well, I fell off the wagon, again, last weekend and posted like an idiot. Don’t run away yet!  I’m sorry for that. I’ll go through any comments and apologise or reply. Going forward I’m using Craig Ferguson’s three rules. No worries.

I’m rebuilding Edelbrock carbs at my kitchen counter. (Gosh, I frigging hate Edelbrock stuff)

Finally! It’s a responsible owner 2wd V6 (vortech!) with Manuel transmission! I’m not holding my breath. I see it in person tomorrow and most likely will be buying it.

I find an orphan pressure washer on my doorstep! Woo! Wish I could keep it.

I was hoping to push it to 200,000 but I’ll take 175,000.

I haven’t been able to find a suitable replacement yet.

I’m heading out to look at a 2006 Titan tomorrow. It’s a base V8, 4x4 extended cab. It does have the Pro4 wheels and brand new tires though (big plus). Mileage is listed as 125k and it looks like new.

I was hoping to have a big OPPO BBQ this weekend. Plans have changed. I still have three of these Briskets that need to hit the smoker.

Willing to look at a truck for me?

I’ve been neglecting the shop since the flooding almost four months back.

Minimal rust, clean interior, top trim with the optional mags. For $2500? I haven’t seen a Sub this clean for that price in the Chicago area in twenty years, maybe more.

Oil change, plug, valve adjustment and a re-jet on the carb. Oh, pulled the baffle on the pipe too. What a difference. She just revs right now! It pulls hard through fourth and then I run out of road. I handicapped it a bit by putting a 14 tooth front sprocket on when the 20" tires went on. I’m thinking an 11 tooth…
