    Rinsed the layer of dirt that the construction around the corner has deposited.

    Oh wait..the rain did that for me.

    Putting it away for the winter, huh?

    Do you put gas stabilizer in the tank too?

    But always with a fresh tank of gas, filled to the brim (reduce air volume in the tank).

    Morning gang!

    Wanted to enjoy a sunny, DRY ride into work but was stuck behind a VERY slow-driving KIA the whole way in :mad2:

    I had an uneventful drive into the office... no exploding engine damper... no codes or dash lights thrown by vac lines that I forgot to reconnect. Just a nice, simple drive to work.

    It's November now and time seems to be flying by. I've got a DE event in early Dec, so I really need to test fit my new track wheels, bleed the brakes with Motul 300 and get the new TSW engine mount in place.

    Isn't Motul 300 a motor or gear oil? :confused5:

    Not sure... I should have said Motul 600 RBF. (perhaps if you use only 1/2 a bottle, it's Motul 300 :D )

    I needed a new kennel for one of the dogs. Do I drive the truck or Foggie? Looking at the one we already have, I figure 48X30 will fit just fine, after all I have the RSD. Guess what? 30 was close, but 48 was not. So, I slide both seats forward and it just fits. Close the hatch and try to get in. Hummmmmmmm, did grow a foot? Pushed the MFSW all the way forward and all the way up, turn sideways and get in butt first, grab each leg and pull it inside, adjust myself so my knees are not in my chin. Then, off we go, so far so good, shift into second and nothing. Why is the engine revving and no power? I don't seem to be in second after all, odd, try again. Oh, there it is, way back there past my butt. I could throw my shoulder out of joint trying for second, forth and sixth. This is going to be a long 45 minute drive. Well I made it, unfolded myself out of the car, set up the kennel and the stupid dog won't go in it. :mad2:
