Slow goin’

Sorry for the lack of updates. I have been doing a lot of work with the fire department lately and the forum also takes up a bit of time.

I have been driving the K5 whenever I remember it’s there, which isn’t too often. I drove it in to work today and plan on driving it tomorrow to fire training. It still drives very nice! Runs great!

I am planning to drop the L05 TBI motor in starting in June. During that little project, the doors, dash, wiring harness, and A/C will be swapped over from the ’90 ‘burb. That will be the next big undertaking for the K5.

Snow

We were hit with a decent snow storm Friday, December 19th. By Sunday, we had anywhere between 12” and 18” depending on where you measured and that was before the wind kicked up.

Here are some pictures:

Gall Bladder Be Gone!

So my surgery went well I suppose. Had a bit of a rough patch coming out of the anesthesia, but that was solved by a nice pain killer shot. The nurse was a bit ambitious flushing my IV line and my hand is still burning from the first flush, but I was quick to scold her that I was already in pain and did not need more added onto it to save a few seconds.
