Picked up the Colorado Saturday. Haven't had a chance to really drive it to see if they fixed anything. Spent most of Saturday working on the hd. Found the rattling in the front. Lower shock mounts were loose. I went ahead and replaced the upper shock bushings anyways. Cleaned and lock tighter the mount bolts. Sunday gave the Colorado a well needed bath and changed the oil in th by moms car. Then the kids came by with the new grand kid. That killed the weekend.

Sounds like it was a fun weekend, at least you got something accomplished. Didn't get much done here, this waiting for parts is getting old, shipping these days is crazy!

Spent the day cleaning and doing some filing in my office that needed to be done. Also did some measuring to see what I can do about getting some more desk space and drawers so I can put stuff away that I still have in boxes that I have no place to put. Desk I have doesn't have any drawers and just doesn't fit my needs anymore.

Don't feel bad, I still have stuff in boxes since we moved here.

Went to Chandler Friday night. I have a pretty good vibration now in the wheel. Not sure if its tire or what it is. I checked all the lug nuts this morning since they pulled all the wheels and "checked" the balance. All seemed to be tight. Going to drive it more to try to see if I can pin point anything. Doing to talk to a few people I know and see if they know whats going on so I can take it back and tll these bone heads what to fix. It's hard for me to drive and listen to what's going on I have to go down town in the morning but need to take the HD to pick up a couple things.

That sucks, vibration sounds like driveline but who knows, but needs to be fixed before something comes apart, try putting it on jack stands and run it see if anything shows up, might be able to pin point it.

Haven't had time to do a whole lot with it. I'm thinking possibly tire issues. Just by the way the vibration feels it might be. I may try flipping the rear to the front and see what happens.

Will see if I can get it done Sunday. Be nice to be able to put my hands on a couple wheels and tires that are known good and eliminate these all together. I have my eyes on a set but can't pull the trigger right now after being off a month and putting a wad of cash for this eye surgery. Â Need to rotate the tires on the GF's mom's car as well

Had a good day with the car. Got to the track early enough Friday evening to make a couple hits. Made an 1/8 mile hit just to do some checks. Second pass ran a 9:26 at 144. left good, but the car was hopping a little, but went straight. so we decided a minor rear shock adjustment was in order. Then changed the carb from the 1050 to a 1200. they shut the track down early so we didn't make another run. Got up Saturday and made the shock adjustment, fueled the car up and made the qualifying pass. ran 9:21 at 145. Second round ran 9:21, clocks were jacked in the right lane so the mile an hour was way off. No hope in the car and it ran straight. First round of eliminations it ran 9:22 at 144. I think we have a bracket car. Since he went .001 red we were done. All in all he is really happy with the car that it's back to where it needs to be. Over the next couple months a few checks around the car and an oil change is due. Should be ready for next season.

I haven't heard of a wall mounted PC before. Those are pretty cool. Now you have me thinking. I don't do any gaming or need any high graphics, so this should be easy to build. Be a space saver as well.

Yeah they are very cool, sky is the limit on that, just let your let your imagination run wild, lol. One thing nice about them is they don't get full of dirt like in a case, I built an open on on my desk last year and it's all clean, next one I build will be on the wall, and they are a space saver.
