I am going out now to wash the Avalanche, you guys should feel special because i don't wash it by hand a lot anymore........


I also decided that I will try to set a personal best MPG record on this trip. I have put my K&N drop in filter back in and am now using Lucas Fuel Treatment. I have always had one injector that will make a tapping noise and this stuff cleared it up + it is supposed to increase the MPG, we will see. My best was 20.04MPG. I am trying for over 21MPG and will be driving a slower steady pace, I hope to keep it at just under 70MPH for this test but sometimes I can get impatient.............See ya when we get there!

I'm working on mine tonight and in the morning...it needs a bath BADLY!

Hey...what time does Bratfest start on Sunday?  I need to know how much beauty rest I'll be able to get! Cheesy

Actually, I need to find out what time masses are so I can get to one in plenty of time to leave partying for the rest of the day.  Roll Eyes

They have said that MO will be there early and others will be coming all day. I guess we will plan on being there around 10 to 11 their time.


Well the Avalanche is all washed up and purdy again!

When starting it this morning my Garmin NUVI said LOW BATTERY, It has been out in the AV in its cradle for a long while. I brought in in the house and plugged it up to the USB on the computer, that is another way to charge it but when in its cradle in the truck it should be charging. Hope it isn't giving up on me now but I am printing maps just in case......


She you guys tommorw!

Well we are behind schedule as normal. We'll be dropping off the daughter and the dogs in Columbia and then hitting the Tiger Car Wash. We will hopefully be at the hotel before 5pm.

Hey guys, we made it home okay!!  What an AWESOME GTG!!  You guys are great!!  We had such a great time, we talked about calling the hotel to get another night and then turning around and coming back! Cheesy

But, I'm glad we came home...ganna have a nice relaxing day on the lake tomorrow. 

 Attention/Post Whore, in Yakmar's honor

BTW - I wanted to send out a HUGE 'THANK YOU' to all of you who helped me out today with my mods!  I really didn't think I'd have any to do, and on the way down bought those lights.  I really wasn't expecting the cup holders or anything else!!  THANKS SO MUCH!   Thumbs up!

I never would have figured out how to get the wiring right on the LED's either.  You rock!  I'm ganna post a thred concerning those lights and the installation process.  I didn't get any pictures (dead camera) so I hope y'all can help with that.  The look GREAT at night!!  Woohoo!  I'll get some pics tomorrow evening and post them.

Anyway, I'm off to bed...thanks again everyone!!  Looking forward to seeing y'all again sometime!  chevy
