Still need to do the driverside trim around the switches and then the steering wheel bezle then I think I will be done. The stuff is a lot more forgiving than I thought. Can damn near mold it to anything with the right amount of heat to it.

Parking garage and a tiny hotel room with the wifes hair dryer. There is security cameras everywhere, pretty sure it looked sorta funny to the security guard watching me walk out of a parking garage with arms full of interior parts.


Son is doing amazing. Considering how early he came there has not been anything major. Had a small infection that he got over with antibiotics and couple other minor things. Other than that just needs to put the weight on, get the hang of sucking on a boob and then gets to come home. Hopefully be able to bring him home Mid to late February.

Here he is from a few days ago before I left for work sporting his "woombie". This little thing works great at containing his hands otherwise he keeps pulling his tube out LOL

Thanks! Should have all the wrap finished up next time home depending on how things go. He is doing great, over 4lbs, is in an open crib and starting to get the hang of breastfeeding and bottle feeding. Hopefully come home with him later this month if all goes well.

I can't wait for him to grow up and be a boy and get into trouble and watching him raise hell and do all the things you are not suppose to do that I did growing up LOL.


One day I will pay the money for a few dyno pulls. More interested in how it performs on the streets but still wouldn't mind seeing what it lays down. Right now my summer tires are shot and running my studs so don't think they would let me on the dyno anyways. Not to mention doing a dyno pull on **** winter gas would be a waste.

And I don't have headers yet cause the wife started adding up all the money I spent last year after buying the PC, blowing the motor.. rebuilding the motor (bigger, better, stronger). I tried to sneak the headers into it but told her I would take it easy for the rest of the year. Then of course the boy cam way early so that has occupied all my other time and money when not working.

Hopefully in the next few months I will get them. Doesn't help that I have expensive taste and headers/exhaust will be around 2k when all said and done.
