Getting ready to do some more volunteer work at the museum. 

Started the process of taking apart the driver side door panel so I can gain access to the window lift motor.

We checked out the GoodGuys National West Coast Show this weekend. It was definitely worth going. The swap meet itself was a highlight of the event.

I’m going to give this a try to see if can take the place of Ibuprofen. I normally take the 800mg monster tablets.

Went for a morning ride and breakfast this morning. It was good to get out and feel the wind. Not a long ride at all but never the less fun to be with the Brothers and motorcycling.

It’s now the 5th day of dieting and fitness awareness. Most importantly that many days without white steam rice!! Holy shit is this really happening!! 

Well, at least for 3 months is my immediate goal. I want to see if this has an effect on my weight issue. Today I almost hit the 10,000 step mark on my Garmin VivoActive HR. I’m sure I’ll be hitting that value soon as I’m more aware of it and know what I need to do to achieve the goal. 

After debating to make the Thunderbird even louder I decided to have the 12″ Glasspacks removed as they were acting as resonators suppressing the sound of the Flowmaster 40 series. I took it to a shop in Lodi, CA. to have both removed and also the exhaust pipe bolts shortened and retightend. The right side was beginning to rattle during car startup. 

In addition to the work already done a crossmember pipe was fitted between the two exhaust pipes to add stability. This place did a very good job in there care and workmanship. I was impressed with the fact that they just didn’t use a saws all to cutout the needed replacement pipes but instead used the pipe cutter and machine to create the proper diameter flange fitting. 

What can I say, we are back in California 🙁

Sometimes it’s just nice to kickback and relax. That’s what we did today watching our grandson.
