It could be much worse! I could probably rattle off the names of at least ten towns just between Houston and New Orleans along I-10 to avoid at all costs. Then there are the scenic towns of Gary, IN and Detroit.

Enough city bashing.

Have a safe trip mr. onzedge and a great day all! :tiphat:

Took the Z to work last night :tup: On the way home I did some troubleshooting. I have a ticking noise coming from behind the instrument cluster area only when I get in boost. I had a feeling it was the solenoid from my boost controller because I have it mounted to the metal surrounding the brake booster, this is in line with the area the noise is coming from. Anyhow, an easy test was to turn the boost controller off, thus bypassing the solenoid, good news, no noise. So... I have three options, 1. Live with the ticking noise when I use the boost controller, 2. Move the solenoid, or 3. Isolate the solenoid from the metal in the existing location.

In other news I ran over a piece of tire debris on the highway. I had to straddle it to minimize potential damage. Good news is the body work is a-ok, bad news is it hit something under the car. I'll need to get under the car to investigate but I believe everything will be ok. The car sounds and drives the same otherwise :tup:

Now some cool news.

I stumbled upon a video from this years Comic Con of my best friend since grade 1 facing off against his boss Matt Groening in a drawing contest.

The name on the video is wrong but you can hear Phil Lamarr say his proper name at the start of the video, Edmond Fong. He is an animator on The Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy, to name a few. He also directed a few episodes of Futurama.

I'm proud of his accomplishments. He is extremely talented and has worked very hard to get where he is today.
