We haven't had wind.....temps have been pretty swell....Last evening the storm that produced all the tornadoes arrived.....suddenly it became very muggy....The storm is still here and we are under tornado watch....

Ordered up some locking hubs for the Ranger front end....They allow true 2X4 driving and should add a couple of MPGs....then you lock them manually for 4X4....Got my wheels straight last week....the Ranger is black and so are the wheels....Also on the way are a set of Moog front coil springs in case the Ford units have sagged in the previous 226k mile....got 4 KYB shocks.and a set of Moog polyurethane radius arm bushings....All that should be a little more firm ride wise and most importantly keep the old Ranger going down the road without wearing the tires prematurely....New tires after I get all that installed....1994 and in way better shape than most late model trucks....best of all there never was a payment book.....

I cut the block looking for ceramic coils for the Crown....No options found....never ordered from fastech nor do I plan to....I did look at the C Cells but truthfully the tanks I just don't dig very much....I've been hellhammering the Crowns for a dang long time now....All 3 have only there second coil in them....Those first coils I only changed because I thought maybe I should....Bov's cinnamon Roll did have one gunked up pretty good but all 3 were still going strong....It's a dang pleasure not wrapping coils anymore....I retired from all that sheet.....

I'm still loving my Crowns too, but I do have to change the coils more often than you, Dee. One Crown is a dedicated cinn roll tank, and that coil usually lasts me a good month at least. The Crown that gets swapped between a couple of different custard versions and banana bread doesn't last quite as long. I run a 1.2ohm coil in the Crown on the Presa, it's diet is the coco pilada or coconut cream pie.

I've been getting my coils from FT since I first got the tanks. The ones I order are authentic, I order 3 boxes at a time for $8.50 a box. I just have to plan ahead. I haven't gotten the ceramic coils yet, should be coming in another week or so.

It's a dang pleasure not wrapping coils anymore

I'm sitting here looking at my dripper needing to be dry burned and rewicked...danged if I can find the motivation to get to it :blush:

My cinnamon roll tank is on the big Jaybo....So it sits by the recliner and doesn't venture outside.....I still only get about two days outta three 18650s.....The black grippy stuff on the Jaybo is coming off as well....Is what it is....

Gonna have a few days free in the shop so I pulled the Samurai in for a little more restoration.....It's a good little Sammy and gets a little better each time I work on it.....still.....that work on it is getting a little old.....I'm about ready for a break in all this action.....Got me sitting here hoping my next paying job doesn't call back.....

So I get an appointment for Monday at 10 to get a customers car aligned and two new tires....Hell yeah I got a new tire store after that last fiasco....Mom informs me when I get back she's got an appointment at the colonoscopy doc......Monday at 10.....Yepp

    Congrats on the new crown Bov!

    I am still loving the Target and c cell coils. It does feel good with one less coil to build!!!

    I've been eyeing the Aspire Cleito tank since they came into the shop. Might have to give that one a whirl in the near future, unless any of you know of a reason I shouldn't? (You all get around on this forum more than I do!) ;)

    I've also been eyeing the PURPLE Target kit! Have you seen it? It's gorgeous!!!! <3

    We had the humid stickies yesterday...all day. Slept with a fan in the window, rain came overnight and now it's much cooler again.

    Madison woke up crying with ear pain. She's a tough cookie, so needless to say I know it hurts and looks like OTC meds since last weekend have not done well by her, so off to the doc as soon as they open this morning.

    Enjoy your day everyone!

    Good afternoon Refugees. Sorry to hear about Madison's ear infection. Earaches and toothaches are about as bad as it gets to me. I'd rather have a broken leg than either one. My Son just left a while ago to drive back to Michigan after a week of fun in the sun here. Sure wish that apple hadn't fallen so far from the tree.
