Took a 435 mile drive today around southern Ontario, averaging 37.25 mpg! Maybe a little lighter throttle foot, maybe less rolling resistance without the wobble from the destroyed LCA rear bushings?
Mike , good news about your MIL
Sweety still has swollen leg, we see the specialist tomorrow morning at 8am

Keep us posted on your Sweetie Oldblue, sounds like you had a nice day for a drive.
Michelle's Mom has reached a normal level of one "GPM", that's one Gripe Per Minute, so she's gonna be just fine...unless one of the nurses snaps and smothers her with a pillow.
Now I'm wondering if my employees/flight crews are plotting to fill Paddy with those "Super-Ball" bouncy balls in my abscence. I wouldn't put it past them, and I've personally seen the utter hysterical chaos of a guy who had the cab of his Silverado filled with bouncy balls.
He opened the door only to be bowled over by a multi colored bouncing tidal wave of little rubber balls, and they went Everywhere!

Saturday night I changed out the spark plugs on my SS. The airbox removal was the biggest pain because of the heat-hardened rubber grommets that attach it to the head. I ended up cutting them out and replacing them with new rubber. The rest was easy-peezy.

I missed mine again, Canada is a beautiful Country, Canadians are great people, Halifax is a lovely city, my Mother-in-Law is receiving fantastic medical care, and she's doing better every day...but we're missing home.
You can take me out of Carolina, but you can't take Carolina out of me, Mongo want go home.
How'd your Sweetie make out at the specialist Oldblue, good news we hope. As always Buddy, let us know if y'all need anything at all...OK.

Went to the Chevy Dealer today as I thought I had a left side c/v join bad. Clicking when I would make a left turn. Well guess what The noise did occur when I made a left turn but the right half shaft and right strut were bad(leaking). The Dealer price was right at $900.00. Luckily by extended warranty kicked in and it cost me $100.00 and I didn't even have to get greasy. Oh yeah, they also aligned the front end. But the important part is that it again rides and drives as it should.
