The fact that I do not get to park anything of mine inside sucks..

So… while the dually is at it’s prime… I think $$$$$ 😎  Cause it’s just going down daily!!!!

 

Been a wild ride, but it got me here 😎

about a week or so ago…. a Customer who is a  Foot doctor came by and I asked him about my drop foot… he did some magic, got me some orthopedic boots and gave me this cool tool for stretching… and I have to say.. this is the best my back has felt in a LONG LONG LONG time….  😎  I think I will keep wearing them boots!!!  😎  and doing my stretches…  😎

I am still feeling better and better…   I notice how I sleep has a huge factor in how I feel the next morning and day.. Which also seems to coincide with me taking my gabapettin regularly 😎  😎  I guess this should go without saying 😎 😎 😎  But I hope to be able to stop taking them soon!!!   My drop foot is pretty annoying while driving…  I hope it does not affect my class 11 driving…. 😎  Pin it right!!!

My bus did awesome…. Leaving I was a tiny bit concerned about my trans’s noise level…. and if more damage may have been done than I thought in moab…. But..Nope…  She seems to be running fucking awesome… She never missed a beat!!!!!   Never missed a shift, and was consistently noisey… but nothing new or out of the realm of acceptable.. it’s smooth…. 😎  I did loose a nut on my mid mount, I also had an axle nut work it’s way loose…  I also had my typical air cleaner wing nuts vibrate off!!!!! does anyone else have this “problem”???  I have it ALL the time.. no matter how tight I do em… and if I just keep on tighening it will snap the stud!!!  weird!! I am going to drill it and spring safety it..  😎   Yes.. even I have problems and have to keep an eye on things….

Time to switch gears to class 11….. 😎  😎  😎  I gotta be at Glenn Helen Raceway friday for tech inspection…. 😎  😎 😎

Always had the same issue. I did a short strong spring between the wings nuts. They still get loose, but at least you don’t lose the wing nuts. I believe the air cleaner element settles and gets shorter and shorter.

I'm at the age where "fuck off", "fuck you", and "fuck it" answer most questions.

My dually is a badd ass mother fucker…. 😎  😎 😎 Never even a hic-up…. 75, all day, ac on, loaded down…  Milage… just under 10…. a strong nine!!!! 😎 😎 😎  1500 mile round trip…  It was 102 in Baker at 10am when we went through..  No over heating..  happy…. awesome..   Everyone loved the truck out there!!! People were tripping on it all weekend… 😎  😎

The dually kicked ass for sure!! I was COLD in all that AC and I couldn’t believe how fast we made it there and back 🙌🏻

The dually is nice to travel in… and you get almost as many looks as rolling in a bus… 😎  😎  Almost… but there is no bed, or way to make coffee in the morning… so… The bus still trumps the dually for traveling.. 😎

Audrey, Corporate and I have driven almost 5000 miles this month!!!!!!  That rocks.. 😎  😎 😎

What’s next for me????  hummmmm

I’ll tell ya one thing… Going out of town and not racing or showing is much less stress… 😎  😎  😎  Also, not quite as much fun… 😎 😎  You have to keep a middle ground on that fun/stress ratio, 😎  😎  Most of the trips this year I brought home a broken car and another DNF.. 😎 😎 😎

I want to do some camping and take out dirt bikes out..  Maybe a campout up at Million dollar??  If most everyone brought some sort of off road vehicle.. dirt bike, buggy, baja, god forbid, a Side X Side..    but I guess it would work… 😎  We bought them TL’s and haven’t used em… 8-(

I spent the weekend putting my sand rail tans back to mid engine status.. it was a pain in the ass…. But… Feeling good about it.

I want to get ALL my shit fixed back up…. The sand rail took a bunch of steps forward, then a bunch back!!!!  😎  I want to take this rig out and play some… tool around, do some wheelies… 😎

Thanksgiving is the “big” weekend for Sand Dunes…  😎  I doubt I can talk anyone into going… but… I might be able to make it… 😎

I would like to get this together by the weekend..  Drag it to the party… then cruise over to white wash.. 😎  totally possible.. 😎

Trans is ready to slide in… Motor is ready to clean up, although it’s pretty nice for not being unstacked for 10 plus years! I think I am gonna have to restack the damn motor in the rail…. 😎 and the trans is mounted to a solid stock style mount, so you can’t put them in together, and with the wiring and shifting going down the center… there isn’t a hole big enough to get the engine through, once a tranny is in place.. Make sence? 😎
