Don't forget to replace your fuel pump soon as it will fail due to being run dry.

I decided to push my luck tonight on my drive back from West Palm and waited one too many exits on 95 before getting gas. When I hit 300 miles on the current tank I started losing power and had another 2 miles to go. For future reference, if you run on the shoulder and make the passenger side of the van lower than the drivers side, you can get at least a couple more miles out of the tank:>). Anyway I coasted all the way to the exit and into the gas station - right up to the pump and promptly put in 15.5 gallons. I got my upper bunk mattress covers in the mail from Marshall Ruskin today, we traded tan for gray. Marshall is a great guy and even included a holiday gift. Thanks again Marshall! I also picked up a set of BBS rims that I should be putting on Goldibox soon. Hopefully I can get some new pictures on the web soon.

Have a great weekend all,
