Just learned that a disabled neighbor of mine lost his life this afternoon because of the nasty weather today. It seems they were going home early because of the weather when this happened. What a shame.

I got this e-mail today.
Hey just letting you know Brent at Breenspeed will be selling the mosaleen S/C idler system from now on, he will have it on his web site in a week or so. He tested one and realy liked it. Just had Troyer Performance do a 2 week test on Saleen S 331 truck and with the mosaleen idler, 5.5 inch. water pump, and shorter belt it made 40 rwhp and 54 rwtq gain.
So on the mustang the same applys mosaleen idler, V-10 truck water pump and 1 inch. , shorter belt = big gains. Scott

Yeah he surely didn't deserve this. He was maybe mid to late 30's I would guess. In the summer months he would drive his electric wheelchair up and down the road. He would stop by a couple a times and talk with me. He was paralized from his neck down. He controlled his wheelchair with his mouth. He hurt himself when he was like 18 by diving from a bridge into a local river. The water was too shallow and he broke his neck.

No, unfortunately it isn't that efficient, but it is rated at 80%, probably a bit better than the old unit that was removed. It's a lot more quiet than the old one too, I don't need to turn up the tv as much as before. They installed a new Honeywell programmable thermostat too. Overall the house feels much more comfortable, seems like the new unit is heating more evenly, and doesn't run as often.

What did you have??? Karen and I seem to always go for the ribs!! Glad you enjoyed. Hope you get a little time off to enjoy your toys some. So are you going to buck up for the Mosaleen pulley and get it on the car before your Brenspeed custom dyno tune?? I want to go out in the garage tomorrow and start putting in the TCI shifter but with all the snow, salt, and rock crap thrown on the roads this week the garage floor is a mess where Karen's Explorer sits. It ain't pretty. I'm such a puss I guess!

Hey Scott that's funny, I have the B&M shifter that I need to install but I'm not terribly excited about it with the temps in the teens.
Oh and yes, you are a puss.

I got the ribs for a start and then the RoadKill Steak. Wife got the Sirlon. Got tonight and tomorrow off before starting Mids next week.
Been looking at the Mosaleen arm for awhile now but was thinkin the Thumprr might work too

I was just hoping to get in the garage and start my stang and run it for 20 minutes or so. Also ordered a new fuse box cover.
