Wow, you guys got some actual snow. After declaring states of emergency in NJ and my area of PA, with dire predictions of snowmagedden and around the clock weather coverage, we ended up with about 2" of powda (as they say in new England). that's all. The local meteorologists blew our forecast badly.

We had significant snow here as well, but nothing more than about 8 inches. (that's more than enough to make it stupid here)
So because all the work dried up and nobody has been going out, I had enough time to learn how to make a dual-boot grub-loader on my laptop AND build a whole new PC with parts I had laying around (and some purchased before). Somehow it didn't keep UPS from delivering them! Those turd-truck drivers are nuts.

We should eat whole medium pizzas again, Tito.

I'm wanting buffalo wings something fierce.
Just dumped some Franks on my mashed potatoes.

Pizza does sound pretty damn good right now. We usually get a couple of mediums from Pizza Hut. Works out well too, because I can get whatever I want on a pizza that way. The wife usually only wants cheese and pepperoni, which is lame. My go to pizza right is a medium thin crust with BBQ sauce, bacon, pork, and ham with a honey siracha drizzle over it.

Sadly my lunch is consisting of a salad, but pizza may end up being for dinner.

Pizza Hut kicks a**. Aside from that I don't want anything to do with any other chain pizza garbage. Papa Johns and Domino's can EAD.

Giovanni's and Marco's are my favorite non-chain pizza's around here.

Dominos rocks.

Pizza Hut is okay, but WAY too much money. Plus, for some reason, the ones up here in New England don't have or even know what the BBQ pizza is. Dominos has two, and they're damned good.

So I changed my spark plugs out in my F150 today. I have no idea how it was still running. One of the plugs had degraded from its original .041" gap to .076", and one was cracked. No wonder I had a WOT stumble/misfire. Only reason I haven't changed them yet is because the dealer said it had a "full service" when I bought it. Apparently "full service" nowadays just means an oil change done with an incorrect filter. Coolant is next.

Yeah I did plugs in the Pathfinder, even though the previous owner did them 30K miles ago. I'm glad I did, because he definitely did them on time but he used the wrong plugs and they were already worn the heck out. The previous owner was SUPER meticulous about the maintenance on it, but I don't cut corners on parts. NGK's aren't all the same, so substituting an Iridium for a Laser Platinum is not acceptable to me.

Yeah, these were OEM Motorcraft, and I'm sure they were the originals. They say they're good for 100K, and they didn't lie. They weren't even that badly fouled. The truck is currently at 125K.

Yeah the plugs in the Pathy were good for 100k if he used the right ones, but since he didn't they were only good for 50k.

Same here. with so many good non-chain pizza places around here, I can't fathom eating at a chain like Pizza Hut or Papa John unless I'm travelling in an unfamiliar area.

Morning guys!

Amazing that plugs can last so long these days. I remember them always dying after ~15-20k miles in every other car I owned. Now the Legacy has 100k plugs. I replaced them when we did the head gaskets, but that was only because they were so accessible.

Happy Friday
