I spent the weekend working of autumn chores in in the company of my wife and daughter (Katelyn is home for wedding planning).Besides working on repairing pool tiles and digging downspout/sump pump drain pipes (grr), I swapped my 4-wheeled refrigerator of a Honda Pilot for Katelyn’s VW TDI; oh how I have forgotten how much I enjoyed buzzing around in a little diesel. I even made sure the Rocketchip and upsized injectors were working just so I could get a good whiff of that diesel exhaust. Shame on me – stop grinning Rich!
