Got the truck out and about with some fresh gas. Runs great. Speedo is 10mph slow. It scoots nicely. I'm taking it to the gym tomorrow to get some miles on it. -

Dr. Norman Clausen of Friendswood, TX? (RIP). He really did do a lot of fantastic things to the truck, to be fair.

If that rig were mine I’d have a lawn chair sitting in that very spot where staring at the mule would be a daily task under that shade tree.

Scratch one rooster. Was running late so I went ahead and mowed this AM, gratuitous pic below. Immediately following, I ran 2.0 down to the test loop and pulled some RPM’s in the slow lane. Stopped at the Quickie Mart for a beverage and some...
