The day started out to be a little cool and breezy, but it did warm up to 65 degrees and mostly sunny. Cheri and I made a trip to Wal-Mart late this forenoon. It isn’t a place I like to go to this time of the year as it was packed with people. Although it didn’t take us too long, Cheri picked up a few groceries and I waited for Grandma’s medicine and we met at the checkout. This afternoon Cheri continued to work on her quilt and pillow cases. All she has left to do now is finish the binding on the quilts. She is also working on a table runner. I worked on installing the Banks EconoMind on the truck. I had ordered it some time back and finally got the chance to get it installed. Paul came down and helped me get it done. It was a big job and was happy to have Paul’s help. I figured it would take a day and a half to get the job done. We had to take the exhaust manifold off the right side of the engine so we could drill and tap a hole for the exhaust gas temperature probe. That was the biggest part of the project. It was after 5:00 pm before we got done and I got all the tools put away. All I have to do now is drive the truck for about ten miles in each of the six power setting so the transmission can learn the shifting pattern. It was starting to get dark and I will do that part tomorrow. Can’t wait to see the difference it will make in the horse power. It is suppose to give me 100 more horse power and 230 pounds of torque. I grilled up some pork chops this evening for supper. It was another night with nothing worth watching on TV.
