    Got back home around 4pm.

    Summary of the tournament:

    lost both games Saturday by 1. Tied today.

    Kiddo did amazing. The goals were much bigger than what we normally play on, and even still he did great. Saves two pks on Saturday, made some amazing saves today, and Saturday. He did what he could to help his team. Too bad the defense and offense didn't come through. But all in all, a great experience all around.

    Super pleased with the team, the parents, and the overall experience. My kid is super proud and happy with the experience. Can't ask for anything more than that.

    While I was away this weekend, my Ultragauge holder came in as well as my Morimoto 3157 DRL/Blinker bulbs.

    My driver's side DRL light was partially out and needed to be replaced, so I replaced both sides.

    Put them in after dinner, as well as the holder.

    Truck is as good as new again, especially with the new windshield too.

    :D

    Good morning CT.
    Realized that I don't have any red wire (18 or 16 gauge) so I ordered some.

    Something else to add to the list. I was bolting in the front bumper and I snapped a bolt. Always use a tap and anti-seize from now on. IMG_0062.jpg

    So what did you end up getting?

    I have mid 90s Maytag washer and dryer, both low tech.
    My appliance guy said to keep em running as long as you can esp. the dryer as it was the final year for a ceramic tumbler.
    Had to do a water pump and tub bearing on the washer and a belt on the dryer, that's it. Both run like new.
    IF I had to get another washer, it would be the old school analog Speed Queen. Tons of reviews on them.
    Big Sis has one and they're pretty bulletproof.

    Ended up getting another LG (which is what we have that's busted), top loader with a little bit bigger drum.

    Ended up costing around $860, and free delivery. As opposed to almost $600 to fix the busted 9 year old one.

    Busy day at work today. Got a 2011 GX460 that has a coolant leak. Can't see where it's coming from.
    It's leaking at the back of the engine, down the bell housing and onto the floor. Tomorrow I get to pull the intake plenum to get a better look.

    Just got back from the northern Maine woods. So awesome up there. Decent trip- just around 1300 miles. Hope to have time to go through pictures tomorrow to post a couple.

    Installed the ever popular smoked sequential turn signals the other day, finally getting around to posting pics. Cant stand the shitty chrome everywhere. Debadging etc tomorrow. Hopefully will have time to install the dashcam.
