Rain!  Yay!

Washing all the salt and the last remnants of the nasty snow away.  There's been snow on my property since late December without interruption.

It was like that till yesterday. Then it all got covered in snow again. There are parts of my yard I haven't seen since December as well.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Well, middle of last week, there were three spots within 50 miles of me that were tornado-warned. This morning I'd just gotten up, got online to check a few things before I ate and got ready to go outside, and lightning hit the power line somewhere down the road.
They just got power back on 20 minutes ago. It's 70-plus for the second day in a row. Here's a big f*ck you to the snow. Bring on the heat. I've got a fan and plans for a swamp cooler build saved. I'm ready.

66* and sunny today. Both the Mustang and Thunderbird have yet to venture out of the garage this year. Of course the first nice warm day is a Monday when I'm stuck indoors all day at the 3D printer lab.

Funny everyone on here cussing the snow. Around here we will take moisture in any form. Over the last several years we have had such little snow or rain, that our lakes have dried up to the point we can't use them. If anyone needs any boats, this is the place to come. We no longer have a place to float them. I am ready for winter to be over though. Way to many days below zero with winds of 20 to 50 mph. This past month it has warmed up. Wind is still here though. Several days of not seeing the sun due to the blowing dust.

Salt has been gone since the weekend when it POURED FOREVER. I have been out yesterday evening and this evening in the red car (black one's engine torn down now, waiting on heads to come back) roaring and screeching and generally being obnoxious. What the hell!? Where is everyone? I can't be THAT much of an earlybird. Maybe I am. Lame. Cannot wait for the rest of this area's hot-rodders come out to play.

Cold and damp out here.  Not good weather for the Cougar to have a cold start in.  She's cranky until she warms up and then fine.  I'm gonna have to pull the salt & pepper connectors apart.  I ran codes to see if anything was up.... Nothing other than the 95 that's been there forever 'cause I never put the fuel pump secondary wire in.

What mass air ECU do you have? What "O2 sensor" harness do you have? Maybe a dumb question, but I've never had to actually research a mass air conversion, I just bought a car with it done and assumed it was done right :hick:  But all over the internetS it seems a plethora of bad information, and I'm learning about it all as I get the black car's computer repaired due to an internally shorted IAC motor.
