I had to leave my 5th wheel hitch in the back to get traction.

i hear ya there.... my last boost project was a 96 dakota, supercharged the 5.2l v8....9psi was a lot of fun...LOL ran mid to low 13s as well...

My dyno sheet @5 psi when I 1st installed the GT67 turbo. Never had a change to put on the dyno when I upgraded to the GT76 @7 psi. I pushed it to 10 psi once but couldn't get any traction to get down the track.

Adopted a second kitten yesterday for Marcus to have a playmate while we are away at work. Bella is the name of this one and she was born on November 23rd.

Ah-choo, Ah-choo, Ah-choo.

Kitteze is one of my three allergies. Which is why my Dads' cat insists on sleeping with me when I visit. I'll put up with a bit of a runny nose and scratchy throat for her, though.

Heh the things we do for those we actually like eh?

Still cannot get over how much alike they look...Bella gives a pretty damn good idea of what Marcus looked like at her age.

Yup.
We had a whole menagerie of critters when I was a kid. I always had sinus problems, too. Didn't put two and two together until I left home and had no pets for awhile, then found I could breathe. We'd like a cat but my wife's allergy is worse than mine.
We've had dogs from 1975 until 2015. Found out that as much as we like them, we like not having them even better.

Try as I might, after decades of steel tips, I've not been able to "enjoy" the switch to soft tip so I threw in the towel and ordered this. Time to dig out the old steelies and get my game back to it's normal horrible self.

New quickshifter sensor cable.

Squirrels chewed the sensor cable for my quickshifter on the FZ1. Luckily they did not eat the original wiring on the bike.

easy fix luckily.

Sick and stuck in the house this weekend so all I have to do is spend money on the interwebs.

Let's see, LEDs and an electronic flasher relay for the Ural.

A pair of bicycle cyclometers for the Solexes.

A repair manual for the Ural, in Russian, just because.

A new battery for my Kindle, which came back to life after I ordered said battery.

Hydraulic test kit for my job.

Need to get back to work.

Haven't bought it yet, but was given a brand new 2017 Wrangler Sport for an extended test drive! Went and had a look at it on Saturday afternoon and they told me to keep it until Tuesday (Monday is a holiday in Alberta). It's just a Sport so its not hardcore like a Rubicon, but it's a very nice little rig! I really like it but my son doesn't, he misses all the gadgets that the car has (loaded Focus ST, ST3 with a Cobb Stage 1 build), and the Jeep doesn't have A/C for the summer. So, tempting, but I guess not really practical. I've come to learn over the years that practical is not nearly as fun as impractical impulse buys. Though, that's how I ended up with the ST last year... Lol!
Absolutely love the high riding position and handling of the Jeep though, I can see why these rigs are so popular!

I love that osmand app which runs .gps tracts. $59 for a tablet that has gps and uses google play? Sounds nice. I use my old 7 inch nexus 2013 in my car as my gps. Will check that out

Wrangler is like Ural. You like or you don't. They aren't for everyone. And they can smell fear. If the Jeep likes you, everything will be fine. If it doesn't, the ride be too rough, the wind noise will become atrocious, the fuel consumption will be awful, storage space will disappear, along with a boatload of cash with the Just Empty Every Pocket Syndrome

It's a Jeep thing. You get it or you don't. Personally, I'd get it just to irk the kid.
