It was a slow and short day at school so I decided to balance the Fit's tires today. Was kinda surprised that 1 wheel/tire combo in particular was completely balanced by itself so it didn't even need weights at all.

I had to go to the Waco VA hospital to be fitted with my new hearing aids so gas I bought weeks ago finally got used.. Fuel mileage for the tank was 29.16 per gallon which is down about 2 1/2 gallons from running the A/C and the high winds we have been having... I saw what had to be a fatal crash in front of the Dr Pepper bottling plant outside of Bellmead. It was so bad that I don't have a clue what brand or model the car was.... I found out my wheels need to be balanced when I got up to around 100 when passing chicken hauling trucks that were in a line driving about 50 MPH.

29 MPG doesn't sound too bad considering the Hi-Boost KWSC kit and hot, dry, windy drought weather that has seems to be going around state wide.

those look sweet mike ^^

Yesterday I ordered my Roof rack from Costco. It's called sportrack but when you call the hotline it's THULE, LOL gotta love the Costco one-offs. and today I bought two yakima bike racks with ankle biter locks for $40 for both!! then got a good deal on ebay for the 44" yakima fairing for $50. So for those keeping track at home thats $240 for a complete system with bike racks and fairing.

Now I just need two bikes

Next Mod is gonna be some TFB design special orders that you'll just have to wait and see...

Lightbulb Ya they're bright

I tested 1 in the garage on the work bench and it lit up the wall! There 68 LED's on it, if I could remove the metal ring inside the F.L. it would be even brighter. These are brand new fogs and I didn't want to try to remove the lens. Anyone removed the lens off the fogs w/o damaging the lens?
Thanks yall,
Big Mike
