Hi Gang..   Im back  :wave:

I wasnt really gone.. but I did go up to NC with the race car. Longer trip with the family than I thought.

And I would show everyone pictures.... But I dropped my CAMERA the morning we were leaving.. and BANG.. parts everywhere. Thankfully it was "only" a 150 dollar camera.  :(

Then of course we have review time at work, so I had to go down that road.

And lastly..  :( My dad is in the hospital. He has been in and out for the last month now. He has bone cancer, and is in his late 80s. Retired Colonel, hard core, etc etc etc. And he is having a bit of trouble, mostly because he is mentally all there. But he is 90 or so percent blind,(Macular Degeneration) and like 80 percent deaf.. (Fighter planes) as well as suffering the effects of 35 years as a fighter pilot. And of cource being late 80s.. things are catching up with him very very rapidly.
Unfortunately he has made the mental spiritual step to decide he will be gone before Christmas. So thats kinda hard.
Sooo That also has been taking most of my free time on weekends.

But I am putting the final touches on a Fuel injector tester I made. Cause ya know..... paying 50 bucks to have someone test them for me doesnt seem right.  :D
So why not spend a month or three... 2 or 3 hours here and there making one?

Oh and you all will love this.. I used a handicapped potty cover seat thing that my wife never used after her knee replacement surgeries. Slapped a 5 gallon bucket into it. Mazda Fuel pump assy in the lid hanging down. 1" angle aluminum frame with a plexi/lexan/klux/type box to watch the spray pattern. And then of course a drain in the bottom that can lead back into the box, or into a measuring device to CC the injectors.

Anyhow.. TON of stuff to read up on.. so I will be trying to get caught up on things over the next few days :P
