I couldn’t do the weather over there lol. You get both hotter than hell and below freezing. In south Florida we only get hotter than hell lol. I like the cold but that’s too much.

Sometimes if we’re lucky we get a little cold but it’s not often. It’s in the mid 80s right now in Fort Myers. I’m going to St. Augustine on Monday and it’s supposed to be in the 50s. I’ll take that over the 80s any day.

I have not got a damn thing done on my car since the laser arrived. I have modified the air assist system, the exhaust and lighting as well as built a stand/base for it to rest on so I don't have to bend over as far and make some storage under it. The damn thing weighs almost 700 lbs so needless to say the base is made to hold a polar bear.

I starred at mine car, and told it I’d work on it next weekend. I’ve been so busy with work this is the 10th weekend I’ve said that

Not today but I discovered the new leak in the replacement hose to fix the old leak in my power steering system. Also, it is 11’ long, damn lol



That is a cut just past the ferrule inside the hose.
