No new updates other than those timeserts took a good bit of time at roughy 30-40min a piece X 20 holes haha. I will be moving in about 6-8months so project is on hold while I invest some time and effort into this house to sell.

Haha no....builder tried to bone me on the house we were building so no go there....also wife got hit head on in her suv and shattered her forearm/wrist so spent last 6 months driving her around. Currently knee deep in a shower project due to life haha... I did do some air sealing in the attic along the top plates with spray foam and have been saving $$$ and house isn’t drafty. A lot of stuff other than truck unfortunately

I appreciate it. It could always be much much worse so no complaints here just been busy is all. I will most definitely get back to it....life has just been throwing punches is all. At least life isn’t stabbing yet...

wife’s surgical scar up her forearm is gnarly though. And I did get to spend a lot of time with her in traffic driving her to and from work everyday so plus there (other than traffic)

Put some new plugs in the 2015 turd and noticed these newer iridium plugs use the snake oil design on the strap. And those lateral gas ports grooves I filed into my rings are now mass produced by total seal. I may just purchase some of those and then coat those as they’re likely more uniform. I noticed some other ideas being utilized in others builds. Ice tank strainers that were scoffed at etc. Carry On
