Glad to be home

Just got home from a 5.5 month deployment to Krygyzstan. Got to get out and take the wife/kids out in the cougar. Motor fired right over and sure is a blast to drive...I missed that pull up top. The kids were smiling and going woohooo. Thanks to Curtis(cccdjb), he fired it over at my 80 day mark to make sure it wasn't sitting for too long. Thanks so much Curtis.

Found out I have my PCV hooked up wrong. Went out and bought a temporarily 2nd breather until I plumb it into the Victor Jr intake under the 1" spacer. Seems already to have improved my slight rear oil seal leak. After 24 hours no 1" puddle. My oil pressure seems good too...18-20psi at 1100rpms. She shoots up to 60psi when I goose it to 4000-4500 when the engine is warmed up. Fueled up with 92 Octane, put in 6.6 gallons($4.54) at $30. It appears to be about a $20 difference in filling up my Charger every 1-1.5 weeks. I've had 5.5 months to save...... Feels good to be back home and driving the Ford once again.

Getting ready to put my 17 X 11 rears and 17 X 8 fronts on soon. Trying to get ready for the GoodGuys Car Show July 25th, 26th and 27th. It sure is good to be back in the good ol' U.S. It's funny I'm doing my taxes today.......and will be doing them in 6 months again.....
