well discovered tuesday that it takes LESS than 10min to dump the chairs and the bed/gauncho (and all the chairs/bedding/pillows/shelters) out of the van...after the wife bought a new couch..and it was POURIN down rain..so no-trailer-haulin...

everything worked as designed to remove it quickly and hassle free!!

oh...and a present for the van arrived...$700 worth of CUSTOM fuel pump and matched injectors...she should run like a scalded dog!!..and get 17mpg!! (maybe more)...

oh..mostly intown driving is gettin me 14.5-15mpg..not bad figuring about HALF the fuel tank is FREE fuel...

used the winch yesterday and today...yesterday to pull bushes...did a great job..and today to turn the 1959 galaxy around so I can get it outside for sandblasting and un-cluttering the garage..

that is all...

update...

my sewing-lady should have the covers done soon....for the bed...

I spent 3 days last weekend WRESTLING the new injection pump and injectors into the van..

dude...it shouldnt be this FAST!!!! its MORE powerfull than my 4dr 4x4 F350 that had the 460 and manual trans..and that thing would pull down a house and haul it uphill like the shuttle takin off!!

*giggle*...

sorry...i did just giggle a little...

its just so much FUN...

plans had been to camp this weekened...but the lows were to be in the low 80's...and with 2 babies I didnt wanna makem uncomfortable and listen to them cry...gotta see what next weekend looks like!!
