What would you say is an extreme cost vs good price on a complete upper for a 300blk.  Barrel, bolt group, upper.

Anything against these complete kits?

I’m not terrible found of the tanks mounted to the back.  I swear every time I drive a skid I back into something.

Otherwise I imagine it would make a great 4th of July show

Sounds like a good way to remember our constitution and what is stands for.

We are get the that Utah powder snow today


1” snow flakes that accumulate rapidly and the leaf blower takes care of it until it get deep.

Just so everyone knows this logic works for new trucks too. You see the wife and I were at a stale mate, she gets one vote and so do I. Then unexpectedly 130k absentee votes came in during the night and side with me. We’re getting a new truck now!  :popcorn:
What about the excursion?

From working in the cabinet shop we built lots of tables. The one I tester the most is we didn’t have the welder put any cross braces for the weight.    Your table will lots lots lots bigger.   What ever you do make sure it has lateral support so if someone pushes an end it will not taco over.

You can’t not say what punishment was!

He doesn’t really responded to a whoopin, past point of daycare seeing bruises and asking legal question. 

Restricting him from his favorite activities is about as far as it goes anymore once someone suggest the “ child abuse “ has taken place,

The boy decided to punt the daycare guy in the nutz.  He spent the evening in a bar still as dad tried not to laugh at his little tantrum

I’m on my last week of work and will be home for this little boy to see if we can become best friends before he kills me.    I’m getting nervous and excited about the choice but I feel it will be right in the end

Get both boys on a home schedule.  Transition to momma taking over as she is working from home for ever more due to covid and I’ll end up back in a job likely in Saltlake city commuting again.   

For the time being that is our household plan

That stinks Jon.

Dave, change or clean the pcv valve (new ones are almost 20 bucks) that's pressed into the rear valve cover, by the master cylinder. Not really a valve. Just a shell with 2 tiny holes that plug up. Been fixing leaks on those motors quite a bit the last couple years. It also causes excessive oil in the intake bellows you replaced.
GM also came out with a different rear valve cover gasket to prevent oil from splashing on to the valve as well, to fix oil consumption on some models.
I’ll look into it tomorrow.   I have replaced a pvc on the Jetta. Not this one yet

Been a pretty decent rig all things considered

The clamp on the bottom of that hose makes me sick thinking about how many miles it’s been like that.  Sucking air from every which way, the dirt I cleaned out was black n thick

Yeah.  Awhile ago I found a broken breather hose,  finally got the overpriced part from the dealership and finally replaced it. 

By the amount of gunk under and around the clamp, intake/throttle body, and inside.  I’m really glad it still has compression


So darn greasy for a freeway car

So pending a fuel filter upgrade should be fine arguable.   

I’ve never been particularly found of the looks of that body style.  It didn’t grow on me much either.  The hard plastic dash with the heavy texture.   Meh

With much deliberation, thought, Iv decided it will be simpler to not fight against the ego of the employer.  I plan on tender my resignation tomorrow and offer two weeks which is sure he will not accept.  The high road I do not think can be attained and in the end via a conversation with Don.  I’m not sure I need to worry about what his feelings on it are.  It’s mine to control and while listening or trying to talk though our issues I think it will only be a short term solution which we will be back in the same spot in months.   

The growth has been achieved on my part.  Iv made good friends and I feel I have earned the wages I have been paid.    Sadly he feel different and I can not change that.   

Players for calm collected conversation and I’ll follow up tomorrow with how it goes


Plan on moving back to the old government type military tec based companies where thought and discovery is appreciated
