Morning all

Glad your getting better.

I used to drink lots of coffee, then I realized the caffeine was making me sick and too jittery. Tried the alternatives and decafe, just wasn't working for me. Now I drink a quarter of a cup of coffee with the rest oatmilk (can't do dairy) seems to be a good amount.

Tried a few, but cost was a factor.

 

I have some of the 7.5 ounce zero sugar cokes in the house when I need the pick me up. Some days I'm good without, some days, take two and don't talk to me yet.

 

Even a coke gives me the jitters, could be the sugar

 

I quit that a long time ago. Being diabetic, the most I will do is the no added sugar stuff. I don't miss the sugary coating regular "coke" leaves behind.

 

Good morning everyone!

 

Good Morning

Currently 28° cloudy , High 44°

Felt lazy this morning and decided to sleep in

 

Glad to hear you are feeling a little better, it still sucks though.

More people are allergic to caffine than sugar unless you are having a glucose crash after any sugar???

Morning all!
Obviously not awake, couldn't get muli-quote to work, someone tried to break into the nighbours house last night around midnight. They just left for a week so it was fun when the Sheriff's woke up the entire house to ask exactly what I saw.

 

I love the Desert Dune Metallic of my '99 4runner just for this reason. The dirt is almost invisible. The whole week on the Colorado trails last summer, you couldn't tell it was filthy until you looked inside at the dust built up on the dash, even though I was constantly wiping it down.

@US Marine - thanks for the YT vid links. I love the road courses, both European and North American. I always enjoyed reading the HotRod mag articles about the cars from the old Silver State Classic. Remember the 'Big Red' Camero? I believe it was at that road course that it hit 200 MPH for the 1st time, a massive accomplishment back then.

 

With all that beautiful artwork, I feel I have to say howdy back. HOW DEE

 

Plan is to replace the o2 sensors today.

The only reason to make a plan is so you can deviate from it.

The transmission skid plate was in the way on one sensor, so I thought I would take it off.
But to do that, the front skid plate had to come off.

That was a bad plan.

Seems the skid plate was the only thing keeping the frame square. Took an hour to put the bolt back in.

So I am inside taking a nap.

Deviation

 

Seen this so many times. Plates tweaked and when you pull them off and they go boing..
Then a lot of time to pound them back into shape..

 

Yep.

 

Afternoon

Just got back home from getting my haircut

Getting ready to watch the Nascar Xfinity race from Fontuckey

 

Good Afternoon/Evening

A few more minutes and my 6 hour Saturday at work is over. Wondering what the wife has cooking for dinner.

 

Drove the tacoma over the mountain into WVa to do a little trout fishing on a little stream in the national forest. It is called trout run...or as in my case today, more like "trout none"

 

But it was fun

Sounds like a nice drive, I’ve had fun when getting skunked fishing, it’s always more fun catching something. I usually do catch and release, my wife jokes when I get skunked.

 

If by finish, you mean stare at it for a while then decide to let the trained professionals do it,

Yes

 

I just now finished.
