Thanks rw!
Actuator on, 80w90 in.
Lock unlock lock unlock lock unlock. Go get groceries. Get home in the dark just in time to make dinner. Too much dark and cold now. :/
Tomorrow rain and snow and maybe brake bleed and tires and driveshaft and DONE. Will try to let the weather not annoy me.
Then we'll see how it lock unlock lock unlock lock unlock with its feet on the ground.

Snowsnowsnowsnowsnowsnow! Really it's just supposed to be cold, wet and icky and we'll be the ones getting teased since there's not supposed to be more than a tiny hint at best.
Thanks! Excited to get those last bits finished so I can DRIVE it again! Nothing wrong with the 99 but it's just not......the same. At least the hubby has been valiantly driving Tom Celica. It'd take me all day to get in and out of that low little car.

It snowed here rw, after all the rain. Not a big snow and no sticking, but white stuff did fall out of the sky for a couple of hours. 
Took the 96 out for a spin and all sounds as good as you can hear with all the wind noise. Windy day today. I'm thinking hibernation for the rest of the day too.

Egg you on? Hmmmm, not needed as you just keep getting great stuff done.
I saw your comment over in the "What did I do to the rig" thread.
32 and cloudy here. Maybe snow here by late in the week.

If I haven't said it before I should have. Love the input, encouragement and all the comments. To me they make this thread worth doing. 
26 this am, 42 and sunny now. I think November has found us.

Ha, we are still at 34 and cloudy now. 
I love the techy part of this thread, but also greatly enjoy the deviations into gardens, weather, side-tracks, etc. It's all good.
The Columbia River is glass flat...too bad there are not enough salmon moving through to make a fishing day worthwhile.

Your part of Missouri gets the snow and colder weather first usually. We got a snow the other day and it was coming down hard and fast but did not stick. Still this time of year it hasn't been as bad overall for us. It been hitting the northern states so far. Hope it stays up there. Makes me want to hibernate. Hope the test drive goes well for you.

I'm with Terry, rw. Gets all cold and snowy and I'm ready to hibernate too! I am still working on a way to box all the snow up and send it your way, though our snow can't be called powder by any means. Hopefully you'll be flying down mountains on your flimsy little sticks soon!

Freezing rain advisory up for here from midnight until 10am Tuesday. Hoping it misses us. Bought a smoker yesterday to smoke up some fish over the long weekend. It could be good or real bad......time will tell. Where's Chef? Bet he knows something about smoking fish. 
Ahh, but those flimsy little stick create so much fun at 35 mph or so. Powder...not so much here. We call it Cascade Cement due to the high water content of the snow we often get 'round these parts.

Funny you should ask about Chef....I've been wondering where in the heck he's been hiding. Hope all is well with him! Good luck with your smokey fish.
You do 35 on those sticks and I'll stick to the wheels on my bike that go 'round and 'round.

So far, no broken bones or concussions caused by falls on the sticks. 
Snow showers here today, skiing over weekend.....maybe.

You've had good reasons rw!
Thanks Robb, that's excellent to know. I'm afraid I'm just a Facebook dinosaur, don't know nothin' 'bout that instamatic sort of stuff. I'll have to look him up.
