Well, it IS one of the four major food groups:

1. beer, (Dark)
2. balogna
3. bread
4. milk (OK, I couldn't come up with a "B"-milk...)

This is evidenced by the sudden disappearance of these items from the shelves of GroSto's within 30 seconds of the announcement by the National Weather Servce of any possibility of sleet, freezing rain, or snow within 200 miles of the broadcast center...





Besides, if I am going to drink something, it has to be something I LIKE!

Heh! If you're motivated, it's NEVER to late to lay on the garage floor and stare at the bottom of bravarian beauty... maybe too cold, but never too late!

Did you get that oil changed? And any progress on the "MM"?

I think Tom should have to snail mail everyone the analogs.

hahaha! isn't that the truth! Gotta go learn how to use my new camera...

Keeping a late nite tonight after a dinner meeting in town, I guess I should get at least SOME sleep tonight...


...making a list of goodies I need to take. I was going to pack a cooler, but I've decided not to do any acquisitions on this trip to keep from having to make an early deadline on the return trip (but depending on the progress, I might be swayed...)

[three90s&125sump]

How did the oil change come out, Tom?

[tdwyatt]

all in the oildrain!


I've gotten the oil changes down to less than 10 minutes, the thing that takes the longest is getting the vehicle on the ramps. By the time I've reset the oil change monitor and taken the car off the ramps, I can close the oil recycling jug and work on something else.

[three90s&125sump]

Actually those Oil change monitors are a great thing to have. I have one on my Vette and Untill I had one there to look at and flash in my face I never thought about changing the oil in a vehicle. Hell, I have a truck that has 100,000 miles on an oil change, LOL. What I dont like about my Vette is it cost $100 to change the oil in it: $8 per quart of oil X 7 quarts, a $35 oil filter and tax.

[tdwyatt]

Heh, Redline pricing bites, but so does the Royal purple stuff. I dropped $145 for the reset and OBDII reader (Peake Performance), so at least I am not chained to the "Stealer" anymore.

I am thinking about going back to Mobil 1, I ran on it the first 60k mies, and have not been ble to tell the difference... at least the filters for the BMW are less than $10 each, and if you shop the 'Net, you can find actual OEM for $5 each!

100' of 2" PVC will hold just under 17g. had to redo my math to double check which sump i plan on using. since only half of it will be filled, i think i will realistically be looking at 13g of water leaving Intertank 95 when the power goes out.

i have a two page shopping list for Lowe's tonight (sorry Gwen). i really hope that there will be a lot of returning going on on Sunday.

OK guys (Tom?) I hope your pounding out all that plumbing. We need pics tonight. I want to see some shots of you guys getting dirty, too. I wish I lived near there I would like to get a hand on the installation of the Mantled Monster. That way everytime someone comments on it I can say " Well, it never would have turned out right if I hadn't been there. Those two bone heads couldn't get anything right."



Good luck with everything.
