Helen might be bummed out Oldblue.

But thanks to the perseverance you both showed in proving to her doctors that there was something bigger going on than a blood clot.

And thanks to her Oncologists, she's here with us now, so that's the most important thing.

Next year you'll be at her Aunt's in Erie as usual, and these past few months will be but a bad memory.

Happy Thanksgiving my friends, God Bless you both.

Chemo round #6 for Michelle tomorrow, and a 100 mile retorque of Paddy's lugnuts, that will be it for our Black Friday...the "Cwazy People" can have the WalMart to themselves.

My exhaust system arrived today and my timing chain kit! I'm gonna have my friend Dan do the wrenching and cussing and bleeding, as he tends to do! He doesn't like to use an air impact gun, likes the fell of a slipping box end wrench and forgets to use a little rust buster a 1/2 hour before skinning his knuckles! Must be confused with cramps and swimming!!
This should be fun!
The 2 1/2 inch exhaust pipes look double the size of the stock 1 3/4 inch and the resonater is 25 inches long as opposed to the stock one at just 13 inches.
Hopefully this will help with a quiet boost in power and compliment the K&N Intake setup I got from Hib!!

Changed my tranny fluid and filter, oil, serpentine belt (I want to punch the engineer who decided that was the best place to put the tensioner), and thermostat today. I got things done.

Ever look under the hood of a PT Cruiser?

GM's engineers were kinda mean, Chrysler's were sadists, I mean taking off the intake manifold for a plug change...geez!

Just drove to Hamilton for Sweetie 's follow up blood work , should be a nice 8 or 9 hours!!
Oldblue purred all the way!!

Never have. I don't think I want to other than to have some kind of schadenfreude moment right before someone who calls my car a PT Cruiser has to work on one.

Ya I'm not sure what they think when they do things like this, for a 1/4" it's frustrating as heck. I made a tool to release the tensioner, it takes only seconds now to release it.

Oldblue, which exhaust did you end up buying? I just pulled the trigger on the closeout borla catback exhaust with a counter offer of $285. I figured I better just buy the exhaust instead of trying to piece together what I wanted. The kit seems like a nice piece and it's not loud at all from the videos I've seen.

I went with the Walker 2 1/4 inch 2LT system with a 2 1/4 inlet muffler also from Walker, about $125.00 USD and free shipping!!
