Here’s a complete list of mods installed so far:

Yesterday Jerry put this fuel pressure gauge in:

You might be looking at it and thnking, “Oh no big deal”. That’s what we were thinking too when I bought it. It was supposed to mount this adapter in-line at the end of the fuel rail and screw the gauge into the adapter. Seems simple enough. However, we had some clearance issues. Apparently whoever made this didn’t have the wire loom for the injectors still on the car. The gauge hits the wire loom, injector wiring harness, or radiator cap depending upon how we angled it, so we would either have to remove the loom or fit the gauge somewhere else. We went to Lowe’s and bought a couple more NPT fittings so we could angle the gauge out and away from the fuel rail as shown. It took about 2 hours total to do this, when it should have taken about 30 minutes if we didn’t have the clearance issues.

Almost 14 lbs since the New Year!  I’ve lost 2 inches in my waist and 1.5″ in my hips.  My fat ass arms and thighs are refusing to get smaller at the moment.

My jeans are definitely getting looser, and I can tell the majority of my fat loss has come from my belly.  I estimate I’ll be back to my high school weight in about a year as long as I don’t derail somewhere down the path.

We have all the luan panels up now, and last weekend we spent the entire Saturday gluing and nailing 1X2s on the lumpy seams that ran perpendicular to the rafters. Surprisingly this did a great job of eliminating every single lumpy seam! The ceiling is smooth now. We have several spots where the luan sheets didn’t butt together flush and subsequently there are gaps. The last step is to fill those gaps in with wood putty and sand it down. It has to be a bit warmer for that though, since I discovered the wood putty doesn’t want to hold or dry very well when it’s 30 degrees outside. Maybe we can get finish it up in a couple more weeks.

My friends came over last night with a brand new Wii.  That thing is so much fun!  This is the first time I’ve played, and though I still suck  at video games (got last place in everything, hahaha), it was still fun.  It’s amazing how badly I suck.  Even more amazing is that I do lots of hands-on things and I STILL suck at video games.  You’d think my hand-eye coordination would be better.  OK, OK, I’m not that bad, but I’m by no means great either.

I have a few projects and things I would like to accomplish this year.  Some are pretty trivial and some aren’t.  Maybe if I list them here I’ll be motivated to get them done.

1) Hang pictures above TV.  I have some things picked out already, I just need to make frames for them.

2) Curtains for dining room and living room.

3) Finish decorating the dining room.

4) Headboard for the second bedroom.

5) Garbage disposal for kitchen sink

6) Kidney pillows for sofa

7) Gauge install in the Stealth

Fuel pressure regulator and fuel pump rewire for Stealth

There are more, but that’s what comes to mind right now.
