Oh, I haven't posted anything in a while. Let me say I wish I had a pill that would turn me into a woman for a day or two, and I had a cute face to sit on.

I've replaced 2 GM turbochargers this week, I have a 3rd in the parking lot, and another turbo GM vehicle that needs an entire engine. Turbocharged cars should never be sold to people that don't keep up with ol changes and regular maintenance.

Christmas tree loaded up, and my haul after.

One of my regular customers gave me a $150 visa gift card for Xmas. I'm not really comfortable taking that much money from him, but on the same hand I do a lot of work for him for free. But I do the free work because he let's me work on his classic Toyota Supra Turbo.

This pile of parts had to come out to do a serpentine belt tensioner. This is a Toyota. Every manufacturer makes incredibly stupid engineering choices.

Lazy Otters week night black beans;

2 15 Oz cans of black beans
1 Stock cube

Place everything into a pot. Bring contents to boil, reduce heat to simmer. Simmer 20 minutes. Extra protein and fiber to help you stay healthy and save money.

Simmer down more and then blend for a quick "refried" bean.

I haven't posted anything in a while, so have a picture of a 21 pound smoked turkey.

I finally got some argon for my Tig welder. Now I can watch a few videos and then spend the next couple of weeks learning to Tig in my down time at work.

Anyone in the Mid Atlantic region looking for a good cheap car? I've got a 2003 Acura TL S type I'd like to sell. If you're interested, let me know and I can shoot you a link to the craigslist ad.

I'm going to list my Acura on Craigslist tomorrow. Hopefully it sells quick so I can roll the money into the next project car. Anyone interested in buying a 2003 Acura TL S type?

My monitor was dieing, so I bought a bigger one. Did I go too big?

I put 7 gallons of E85 in my truck earlier. Between that and the tune, it's now kind of too fast to be a daily driver around here.

Going to install this on my truck today.

I ordered a hand held tuner for my truck. That should put it around 500 horsepower. It's already too fast to drive around here, I shouldn't make it faster. But, I've wanted a fast GM truck since I was a little kid and now I have one.

My trucks ac went out on the way home from work. I've already diagnosed the problem and ordered a part, but it won't be here until Monday. And I'll have to wait until next Thursday to install said part.

More adventures in fixing other shops fuckups. After doing an oil change the car wouldn't start. They ship it to me. After 30 minutes of head scratching and swearingI realize they unplugged the ECU. Be careful where you take your car, even for simple stuff. Lots of idiots in the field.

I hate when I have to undo another shops "repair" before I can even dig into the original problem. How do you mount a brake booster upside down and then leave the vacuum line and sensor disconnected.

We already know Direct File has been widely popular and successful.

The program could save Americans billions annually between filing fees and time costs.

Anyone want to buy a 2003 Acura TL S-type? I enjoyed fixing it more then I enjoy driving it, and would like to start on another project car. It's got about 158k miles on it, and drives almost like new.

I know no one cares, but I'm liking the way my truck sounds now. I'm considering a tune next, probably a pre-built in a hand held tuner. But I should get a fuel effecient daily first. The truck only gets 11 mpg currently, but it's fun to drive.

I think my spouses car has a head gasket leak. I didn't do a compression test because none of my adapters fit the car. I did a tune-up 10k miles ago, the plugs are rusting and has what looks like dried coolant on them. Plug in cylinder 1 looks like it's running very hot. What does the internet say?
