So far this year I have missed all my registrations by more than a month and managed to not get pulled over for it. And I drive right through a main part of PSP Carlisle Barrack's patrol area every day.


I got a lot done today. Worked on the whole fleet.

Explorer got an oil change.
Ranger got the parking brake adjusted
BII got a new window motor.
Mustang got the clutch reset, a new window motor, and a door lock repaired.
Cop told me they are looking for this right now.

My credo
Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
I went the entirety of 2018 unregistered. At first I just forgot, realized after a month or so. Forgot again for a few months, then just decided to see how long I could go. At 13 months I felt greedy and went to town hall lol.

I'd believe it. There was a huge grace period this year because PENDOT was basically shut down.

My credo
If it's not broken Don't Fix It!
Did the valve covers and gave myself a bit of heat stroke. At least the previous owner was there and gave me a hand once I was to over heated to continue. Managed to crack the purge solenoid hard line when I flipped the plenum up to side so a couple of vacuum lines for the evap/purge system got replaced.

I put a hurting on my Amazon card today...

Restocking my electrical supplies (non insulated connecters... good heat shrink... 2 pin weather pack connectors... relays... fuses and fuse holders... good copper wire and a new micro torch) my new truck camping arrangement (10 x 10 pop up awning with configurable walls)... MX plus FORscan adapter... tablet holder for the truck... Tactical seat cover for drivers seat (if I like it I'll get one for passenger seat too) and some misc stuff. I also loaned my Power Probe out... it came back smoked. Not even sure how they did it... but they did. So I have a new Power Probe basic on the way. Gonna be like Christmas next week!

I had planned on taking next week off and get busy on the truck... but I have to go to my restaurant to fix a couple things. It's always something when you're a business owner.

I wrote the dreaded check list of things to get done before the TRS Trail Ride... it's long... but certainly doable.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

I know the feeling... i was looking today and it kinda looks as if one of my new KYB front shocks is leaking. It didn't look to bad but I wiped it off and will keep an eye on it.

I forgot about the other new toy I got for my tablet... I always wanted a borescope but thought they were to much money. This is actually cheap and has pretty good reviews.

https://www.amazon.com/DEPSTECH-Waterproof-Inspection-Megapixels-Smartphone/dp/B01MYTHWK4/ref=pd_rhf_ee_p_img_5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=P2PKB9DM7STR62DV9AN2

I have a couple jobs for it in the basement. Locating the dampers in the duct work and figuring out the best place to cut an access hole in the dry wall to replace an outside spigot. For the price I thought it was worth a try. I'm sure it will come in handy in the tool box too.
