    I don't store gas with ethanol longer than 3 months. The ethanol really reduces the storage term of gasoline. :(

    There are fuel stabilizers you can add - I've heard the blue one is better, but personally have only used the red one.

    Not recently. My truck mod money became house mod money.

    I put a fumoto valve on if that counts, but that's it. I finally got it pretty much how I want it so it frees up $$$ for other things down the road.


    Like a class 9 racecar or something.

    @P.Blackley if you had to do it all over again, would you stick with a 2 seat car or go single seater like the Ellis'?

    I can imagine another person to man the radio and the map must be nice instead of trying to do it all yourself.

    With the rules for Class 9 single seat cars get a weight advantage, and when you only have 60HP every pound counts when your trying to be competitive. I would probably go with a single seat car if you gonna get into one.

    Other than the tent being too close, that was a fun start / finish line!

    Not much stock left.
    +1 for the PAC-12. But I’m a Ute! We’ll be seeing you on November 2nd. If all plays out according to expectations, then it should be a deciding game. I’m looking forward to it. Thinking about making the trip out.

    Oh man, my parents are both WSU grads. Supporting the Huskies is high treason.

    So I was replacing my garage side door trim yesterday and I happened to notice this as I walked past. Looks like someone went at the window latch with a screwdriver.
    Personally, I think it's fuckin stupid because you can see the DIY charlie bar in the window so it wasn't gonna open anyway. Why not just smash the window? Or better yet, kick the man door in just to the right of it, and give me the excuse and the insurance check to replace it with a steel security door like I've wanted to do? Glad no entry was made or anything taken, but it really takes the wind out of your sails.

    You could just make out the back tire of my mountain bike through the blinds, so I moved them inside, and am reinforcing the house entry door from the garage. Just feelin a little frustrated over the whole thing. :angrygirl:

    Last night as I was laying in bed, IDK if we had a small tremor or what, but the doors rattled a little and it sounded like someone was running up my stairs towards my bedroom. I def went from 0-1000 in about a nano-second, but nothing came of the wait and then survey of the house and garage. Add that to the garage thing and I was a little edgy last night and this morning.

    While I was ready to repel boarders by the time they would have hit the door, it made me a little sad that I didn't have time to get this pumping over the bluetooth speakers throughout the house.

    Nope. Didn't even call the police. Honestly not sure when it happened. It caught my eye pretty quick so it must have been in the last 48ish hours, but I did my best to look for smears on the window, etc, and no prints, smudges, anything to go on. I talked to a couple local po-po friends of mine, but they agreed with me that there wasn't any sort of suspect, timeframe, or usable evidence to go off of. Best they could do was make a note of it in the database, but thats basically just an admin thing.
