Tonight, from 7:00-10:00 p.m., the family room is reserved for a birthday party. I have a variance from the city. They're letting us have 70 decibels. Same as Bennigan's!

I also learned that my car is most definitely female.

Well I was driving tuesday night, I had just filled up on gas, and about 5 mins down the road I felt what seemed like a miss, then the car started running crappy, stuttering and what not. so I pulled of the road shut it down and started it back up, but when I would blip the throttle it wanted to die and the fuel pressure would shoot way up. So I reloaded my tune and then it started up fine, drove the rest of the night no problems.

Next morning I leave for work start the car and started for about 10 secs then sputtered and died. Then that's all it would do crank, sputter and die tried maybe 6 times, reloaded tune nothing changed. I then started giving it a little gas I could get it to run if I kept the RPMS up but tons of white smoke was coming out the exhaust, then some black smoke, I'm guessing it got flooded somehow. Then all the smoke cleared up and it would Idle ok, but again blip the throttle and it would want to sputter and die. Check the MAF, checked vacuum lines, checked the throttle body, everything look ok.

Started it up again and started but was missing some, then I took the vacuum line off the bypass valve on the SC and put it back on while it was running, then things started to clear up, but had to go to work. Then got back home, checked oil, it was a tad low so filled it up and started up and ran much better, still a little missing here and there, but now I'm guessing the plugs got fouled. Took it for a drive datalogged it and it drove fine *shrug*, sent the log of to brenspeed and parked it for the night. Then this morning I start it up, no misses, no shudders, nothing, ran perfect all the way to work. Now I just came back from lunch and when I started it there were a couple misses and then ran fine. I have no *#$#n' clue! I've been staying out of boost for obvious reasons, but I'm really at a loss here. Haven't heard back from brenspeed, there all in Kentucky for a race.

Now I might have left the cap loose when I filled up 2 nights ago, but I can't imagine it would do that much, the missing I'm getting now might be plugs so I have a new set coming.

*SHRUG* It has to be a she to do things like that!

Maybe you just need to play some romantic music, go for a slow drive with her, and just listen to her. Then I'm sure she'll jump right back true to form. If not, you're in trouble.

I learned that while entering in a street address on the GPS, I pressed the number 6 once, and it came up three times. I got 666 instead of 654.

The scary part is i was putting in the address of the CHURCH I was going to for a funeral.

I just learned that on the news that a Bishop that was defending a bunch of people for being sexualy assulted was busted for having child **** on his lap top and turned himself in and is now out on 9,000.00 bail

Now
Rain continues to soak southern and central Minnesota and it probably won't let up until late Friday. There's just enough cold air around to produce the season's first snowfall over the northeastern corner of the state Friday night and early Saturday! This huge dip in the jet stream will linger over Minnesota on Saturday, causing scattered showers to pop up especially early in the day with even a little sunshine possible by afternoon. Sunday still looks like the best day of the weekend with partly sunny skies and warmer highs in the upper 50s to around 60.

Did you just call me Limey? Ooooh. Oh wait, some admin made that my title.

Stand down, there is nothing to see.

(To the people that know me from yor, good day too you all, and I hope you are all tremendously well!)

No beer company has sponsered this post. There are other drinks available, but unfortunately, none would avail themselves to me tonight

OK, you're going to get a laugh out of this one....

I could pretend like I was trying to be funny by calling you Limey, but truth be told, I didn't realize that was slang until I was confused by your above post and my wife informed me that Limey is slang. Honestly, just thought it was a unique name or a nickname (I was thinking maybe you had a Lime Green Stang). I've also been quite short on sleep lately, so the brain isn't firing on all cylinders either.

So, I learned that going to bed at 1am and getting up at 6am can't be sustained for more than 5-6 days, or you bound to have a brain fart.
