Mornin'. Heads a little fuzzy this mornin', don't really remember last nite, not sure if the two are related.
Today is Monday, May 27th. Memorial Day.

Both!
There were no 'fuzz-tivities'! Hence my aggravation for the fuzziness. No reason for it. Getting better tho. Naturally, now that I can do something, (like paint the new sawmill), it's raining.

It's gone now, thank God.
Hey, j_martin, didn't you once tell me how to make a governor for my 5.9 so it would keep a constant 1800 RPM's regardless of load? Or maybe I'm thinking it was someone else.

If you really want a fun job try changing out struts and ball joints on a Saab 9.7x!!!! Had to do that on my wife's wagon Friday. The way those lower ball joints are pressed and held in place is a joke. No way to use a press to get them out either. Had to use the ol' torch to blow holes in them and then use bad*** air hammer to get them out. Should have been a 4 hour job.....turned into 6. Sure made the beer taste good afterwards.
My frontier lower ball joint is pressed in, the has like a 2-1/2" hex nut that is staked to the ball joint.you gotta remove the lower a-arm to press the ball joint out.
And a big thanks to current and former military service members.

....it'll go 15,000 miles before an oil change with Royal Purple synthetic in it. It's all wheel drive and after seeing the oil pan I told the wife that if it ever develops an oil leak there we got to get rid of it....the pan is 2-piece and the axle shafts run right through that sucker!!!
