To make money on it. You had to get in it at the very beginning. This idiot Bankman, with what he did. People are saying that he should go to jail. They are saying that this will be bigger than the Enron scandal.

3. COD FTW!

Good Saturday Moring All. Well we have hit our high for the day at 43* and a 100% chance of rain.

Have F1 qualifying for the last time of the season. Then UT vs Kansas later on today.

Hope you all have a Great Saturday. Stay Safe, Stay Positive and Stay Warm Out There.

Changed the oil 1.5 year later and with approx. 100 miles on the oil. Oil had a dark honey color and no signs of sludge. 5 quarts came out and 5 quarts went in. Was going to install a magnetic drain bolt, but figured this would mess with the temps per 16SportZ.

While under the car, I noticed that there was clutch fluid collecting in the bottom engine tray instead of leaking inside the tranny bell like I originally thought.

On a side note, Castrol apparently discontinued Magnatec, so switched to Castrol Edge. Given that not all the oil will be drained from the engine and with a bit left over inside, I'm assuming it's okay to have a different type of oil mix with the residual oil in the engine?

Good Sunday Morning All. Chilly 39* to start the day with a high of 45* with 50% chance of more rain.

The last F1 race of the year to get Sunday started with my Cowboys vs the Vikings later on the afternoon.

Oh and Steaks will be on the menu tonight.

Hope you all have a Great Sunday. Stay Safe, Stay Positive and Keep Moving Forward.

So I grew up watching Power Rangers and my fav. ranger was the green ranger. And I’m kinda bummed out about learning that apparently Jason David Frank died by suicide recently
