...one of the few movies I own!

Yep, no free lunches. Most things are a compromise of some sort, and the EPA is why most chippers and tuners have to say on their websites that their products are for off road use only. It did give me pause however, wondering how pulling our CI with the Jetta or Passat TDI's and getting 32-34...

...look quick! It's bound to change soon. Got the plane out this morning for the first time since I did my Biannual Flight Review about 10 days ago.

....put it to music, and you might have a hit!

If it turns out the way the Malone tune I had done on my 2005.5 Jetta TDI, it will be worth it. It gave the engine a 30% increase in both HP & torque, along with a modest increase in mpg of about 2-3. If I wanted to pass a car going 55 on a two lane road, a down shift was no longer needed, just...

.....but then, so is the weather! :rolleyes:

As you can see in the pic above labeled "firepit shutdown" there is thermal mass enough from the volcanic rocks and ceramic logs that after the fuel is turned off there still is remains a hot glowing mass throwing off heat for awhile. It does give off considerable heat to the surrounding area...

I think you are referring to the clamp down device for holding the screen door edges against the CI wall to keep bugs out. They were made with a set of suction cup https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08N13T8X2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 from which I removed the strap...

We finally got a chance to field test the new propane fire pit this past week, and are pretty happy with it. I found that running it on its lowest setting gave us a fire level we were happy with, and gave us about a lb/hr of propane burn rate, or about 4hrs / gallon, or about $1/hr at Tractor...

oops, forgot the tarp pics!

I bought a new Deluxe G6 Gazelle on their Black Friday sale last fall just before we headed south for the winter, and just got a chance to use it for the first time this past week. I made the assumption that the G6 was essentially a Clam with another name with some nice added features, like the...

....back in grade school we would have natural casing hot dogs from a local butcher shop for lunch in the cafeteria every few weeks. If you wanted more than one, in addition to the normal quarter for a hot lunch, it was an extra dime for a second hot dog, which many did, including me if I had...

The goal is to keep you buying them. Eight buns, and 5 or 6 dogs. When you run out of one, and still have some of the other, then you feel the need to go buy more of the one you are out of, so you can finish the other. So if you are lucky, 5 or 6 pks of buns, and 8pks of dogs later you will...

....while here in MN I have yet to turn on the AC this year, and I can count the number of days we've used the CI's AC on one hand during the 12 years we've owned it. What a difference a few hundred miles make.:)

Yes, my first experience with Discount Tire was on my home from AZ with the CI in tow in 20017 after getting our newly purchased AZ home painted & furnished. Every time I stopped for fuel or a rest, I noticed one of my TV tires would be a bit low. So when I got to the Denver area I asked a gas...

Nice! You are starting to resemble the "Extreme SUV" option that CI used to offer, and with your new hitch, it should be about as close to "Go Anywhere" as a CI is going to get.

I'm not near mine to see if the curvature in the bracket the spring stops against, that Turnip mentioned, is normal or if it has been damaged, but it appears that some good penetrant oil like Sea Foam Deep Creep...

Very well thought out tool kit, an excellent collection to be sure!

Nice setup! I see what you're trying to do, but don't have any good ideas on how to accomplish that. It does take up some of the interior space, but personally we like the galley inside so we don't have the bugs & critters to contend with while cooking. We normally have 2 large sling chairs...

......tears from the heavens reminding us what this holiday is all about.
