The Airliner

Yeah. I was trying to find music that fit the video instead of just picking a popular song. I think it definitely captures the mood right.

Awesome! Glad to see you getting out and doing some automotive stuff and enjoying it!

Been trying to. Been getting stressed out with things and need a release. No more basketball so it's been bottling up.

Same. I know I seemed stressed at CMS, but after two sessions, I was in my element.

It was nice to get out and hang with other people that have the same interest. And this group was very friendly and helpful. Especially on the trails. After the Jeep sliced his tire, everyone got out and was discussing how we were going to get my rig through. I kinda cheated and went off the trail and through the brush to avoid the rock.

I love that! I was concerned you would run into some jackasses. Like-minded people with an automotive hobby don't care about make, model, or background, they just want to share the experience with others.

That was the thing that Juvy noticed also. She really liked the group and how everyone was nice and helpful. I let everyone know that I was a beginner at all of this and that I might hold people back and they were really cool and said you never want to rush anything. That made me a lot more comfortable about it.

I am really, really glad to hear that for you.

When does the Airliner build go full-Steve? ;)

Maybe when Gab is done college....It's nice because even though the trails were "easy" that was more than enough for what I want to do. Anything more and I think I will just ride in someone else's rig.

[— kung fu jesus —]

So I just did the spark plugs on this thing. I was getting a slight misfire under load, like when going slightly uphill and just lightly pressing harder on the gas. Luckily, Ford changed the design in the spark plugs so no broken plugs. Fairly straight forward affair. The rear ones were more of a pain but that was a given. All in all, took me maybe 2 hours and that was moving at a snail's pace. It was hot as hell outside. Took it out for a test drive and initial reaction was the truck was running smoother than before. Also noticed that it does accelerate a bit harder than before. I had made sure to take note of this before the plug change. The gap is supposed to be around 0.040 and the ones that I pulled out were around 0.060. Happy with the results.
