    What did you work on tonight?

    If an unmarried retired guy can't get his projects completed, what hope do I have?

    Bernalillo County Emissions

    It used to be if you took it the county station downtown for your free retest and you failed again after showing that you had spent some money to try to fix it, they would give you 1 year to get it fixed completely. I wasn't sure if you knew about this or if it's even still a rule.

    Being a pirate is overrated

    I sent in my online request to be seen at Mayo earlier this week but haven't heard back yet.

    American Toyota discontinued the IH8MUD discount but giving everyone a different discount !

    A pack of smokes costs almost as much as a good bottle of whiskey these days. My parents smoked like chimneys. I'm glad I never picked up the habit or I'd be broke. My 70 year old dad on SS is now rolling his own with pouches of tobacco and pre-made cig tubes. in the 90's they smoked Bucks...

    Events/Trails Cruisers on the Rockies: Silverton July 24-28 2024 (UPDATED WITH FEBRUARY NEWSLETTER)

    I got the CB for trail coms with my local club close to 20 years ago. It was fine for small groups close together. But then when I started going to larger gatherings, the HAM advantage became clear. But it's a big hurdle for folks new to the sport. I never went all in with a mobile base...

    Dang it. Now I have to buy a third radio to go with my CB and HAM.

    Toyota Quoting Only 23 MPG on 250 Series

    If I'm used to getting 18-19 in my old vehicle and the new one that is a similar size and weight is getting 23-25, that's a 25% improvement. That's pretty good, especially if there is an increase in power/torque too. I went from an '87 FJ60 to a '99 UZJ100 and got a significant bump in power...

    American Toyota discontinued the IH8MUD discount but giving everyone a different discount !

    Moving to the East Mountains and working on base has made AmToy very inconvenient. I only go to Sandia Toyota for small parts I need right away that are likely in stock. For anything costly, I just order from the internet now.

    Toyota Quoting Only 23 MPG on 250 Series

    Some other stats to ponder: I own a 2002, 2005 and 2011 4Runner. So one of each of Gen 3, 4 and 5. 2002 - 3.4 V6 5VZ-FE, SR5, curb weight about 4,000 lbs 2005 - 4.0 V6 1GR-FE (single VVTi, SR5, curb weight about 4,200 lbs 2011 - 4.0 V6 1GR-FE (dual VVTi), Trails Edition, curb weight about...

    Giant Ants?

    Just the regular giant ants in the ABQ area. I guess we're not close enough to Trinity to have the real giants.

    What did you work on tonight?

    Nope. I'm satisfied and impressed. Now we can all switch to making fun of people that drive Ford Escorts.

    Bernalillo County Emissions

    Full disclosure, I've never owned an 80-series and have no experience with the pair system. I just read about it and tried to understand what it's purpose is. Both of my vehicles were carbureted that had issues so there were a lot more areas of potential failure and adjustment.

    Oof on the diagnosis. I'm likely going to reach out to Barrow and Mayo in AZ to see if I have any better options for seeing someone sooner.

    I asked if I could be on a cancellation call-back list. They said they don't do that and I would have to call back regularly to see if a there was an earlier appointment available.

    Bernalillo County Emissions

    Sorry to be a bummer but that's a result of deleting a fresh air injection system. I had both a '76 Datsun and an '87 FJ60 that had issues when the air injection system wasn't working correctly and not putting enough air into the exhaust to help deal with HC and CO.

    I didn't think so either. Maybe he meant Exploder or Expedition or Excursion. Dang Ford and all their E-names.
