Yep, nice airport bar just south of Lou. International (SDF) good food, cold beer, and real friendly help, they'll even wash your car on Thursday and you can watch.

That reminds me of the joke:
- Parents ask their 12-year old what he wants for his birthday.
- He says "I want a watch"; they hear "want to watch"
- So that night, they let him.

Tore my intake boot a while back and tried to do a half-a** repair but it wasn't happening. I have a new respect for 20 mil tape though.
Purchased a new 5" 90° rubber intake boot proudly made in the USA (if you can believe that), from a local vendor who also does all sorts of rubber and hose products. (more business coming their way shortly)
The new boot fits perfectly and is probably better than the OEM, not a bad price, about $39
Started and drove old "Fluffy" out around town to shake the cobwebs off of the girl, and she was very thankful. Idle was a little wonky, hunting between 400-600 rpm's and after the drive she is now idling near perfect at 500-550 rpm's. I had thought that I may have gotten some junk in the IP filter or worse the injectors from flushing the fuel tanks and changing the main fuel filter, but that worry is gone.

Could not get the rear plug out of the head for the dual line kit to be installed. So I just installed a 3/8 single line to the head and a 3/8 return. Rubber line is much easier to deal with than the metal return. I also got my updated pump with a #20 button installed this week It has very quick throttle response. Also got all my XZL's on. Did a coolant flush and replaced my remote transmission filter. Will see how it does on the road trip to Albany again this weekend. I got my spare tires and crane in the bed. Even a yard or so of mulch I didn't get put down on my yard.

I changed the fuel filters... what a mess.. good thing i did, opened up the primary to find no filter... wth.. who knows how long it went like that.
I also pulled the second windshield off to rebuild it... hours of grinding, welding and sanding later and it sits waiting for the sealant to cure around the glass... ill probably install it on tuesday if i dont get broken falling out of a helicopter. Lol.
Also replaced a couple of airlines to the fuel tanks, wired in the rebuilt taillights, and put a newrestriction gauge in...
All on all a productive weekend.

Installed a remote brake fluid reservoir on the 813, drained the transmission and transfer case. Next up is change the fuel filter out. Then service everything up to specs. Mobil Delvac 1300 Super 15W40 on sale at Rural King ($59.99), and manufactures rebate of $25/ 5 gal. pale makes it $1.75/qt.

I really like the camo netting you did there. Might have to steal that idea.

Hope that's not solid waste in the back of your rig, I mean the stinky steaming type of solid waste, lol

Nah, it is "dead" dirt though. I get it from the cemetery, folks are just dying to get it!
Lots of folks are superstitious so there is lots of it for free.
