Good morning/night all, hope you all enjoy your memorial day. I hope even more... that you all got the day off too. have a good BBQ and enjoy your families company. for those who didn't get the day off...

... have a BBQ anyways, stick it to the man for not giving you the day off.

In my case not having the day off is my own fault, I fragged the engine in my mustang,

so I'll be spending my extra day off taking it out for a rebuild. Here's to the rest of you having a better day than mine.

whatcha gota replace?
goingot upgrade anything while at it?

I'm not 100% sure what went wrong, but I think I busted a piston. I've heard that the type of piston I put in it have massive failure rates. Apparently they don't like being turned to 6700 rpm. So I'm replacing the pistons with new forged units and while I'm in there I'm going to replace the main and rod bearings as well.

Good morning the reef tank. Great pics Tom and Butch. The tank should be ready for a leak test this afternoon.

Good *onday *orning, Twitter, Stuart, Tim, Tom, Butch, Tom, & All!

A hot & sunny day for Memorial Day. Please remember the reason for the holiday, to honor our fallen veterans whose sacrifice gave us the freedom to enjoy our liberty.

I'm planning a trip to Cataloochee, NC, to see the elk this afternoon, if I feel up to it.

Twitter, hope you and yours have a great Memorial Day holiday!

Stuart, hope you get the 'Stang back together and running soon.

Tim, that ought to be a grand sight at the base! Andrews?

Tom, super photo of the balloons! Sure would love to see one of those festivals someday.

Andrew is smiling but you look like you're gritting your teeth, grinning through the pain!!!

You promised a no-spill Sunday!!! Great photo of the dynamic duo!

John, best wishes for a no-leak tank test!!

The Blue Angels in their fly-by from last year's Annapolis Graduation to commemorate this Memorial Day. My cousin Andrew, Class of '05, is in Navy flight training at Pensacola now.
