Overgaard AZ is up in the mountains northeast of the Phoenix basin area ..coupla mountain crests removed, lots of 6% grades up an down an twisties :)

The temp was goin down about a degree per minute as we climbed into the trees, was 116 when we left Phx Metro area at 10:30am.. 74 when we got to where we were goin about 2 and a half hours later, 72 when we left around 5pm.. 104 when we pulled back into the driveway around 8pm.

Was *nice* all day :)

Cool Wurzel :)

There are prolly more toys out there for a chebby truck than for a vette .. an ..there's a LOT of toys for the vette :)

Stopped in today at Loud Pedal Motorsports and ordered the same B&B bullet cat-back exhaust I had on my other vette, just a nice growly sound w/minimum restriction :)
Also havin 'em stuff an aluminum radiator in to boost cooling capacity.

Preppin the car for more power .. comin slowly but surely :)
Goal is 427 w/procharger ..be a couple years doin it but it's worth doin :)

Keeping this truck stock and trying to keep the bugger clean etc, but a tad dusty in the desert and got no garage.

Good thing its been raining the last couple of days, makes it easier  :D

Enjoy the ride GE, good to see ya bud.

Know that feeling, fortunately only using it around town/between 29 and Yucca, so not too bad (its a v6, so around 20mpg with this one)

I haven't done anything in Max since I was laid off from 2XL games.
-sigh-

Getting the latest version of Max is on my 'to do' list, but it's pretty far down the list atm.
ie:
1) move into the apt we got (monday, man it makes me want to take a Nap just sayin the word 'move' yanno?)
.
.
.
42) get a house with a garage (next summer)
.
.
.
78) setup a place to do 3dMax (book cases, research mats, etc)

We finally saw some summer temperatures the last couple weeks here, today the June gloom is back so were back to the mild trend we've had most the year.
