The drive-in dispensary...lol... Driving through my home area nowadays there's lots of dispensaries now, some drive-thru. Never thought I'd see the day it being sold legally. Growing up the cops were always working at busting the dealers

After the help from my local shop getting inside the distributor cap and seemingly-so far getting the poor running figured out, I have:
-Driven it home from the shop, it drove normal and I was hesitant to really drive it for this short trip.

Then it rained for 2 days, HaHa! You can't make this stuff up, lol.

- Drove it to work then taxied both kids to and from swim practices Tuesday.
-Wednesday I drove the daily to and from work but put the truck in action that afternoon/evening getting groceries and kids to and from their activities again.

Then it rained again, ugh, lol.

-Today the rain stopped after lunch and I uncovered and washed it up really well. I was planning on driving it somewhere but fate had me pegged at home as the day faded.

It is finally driving "as it should" as the invoice states from my shop (fantastic in my mind!). Tomorrow I am planning to drive it to my son's basketball game and anywhere else then cover it up again as more rain/snow is in the forecast for Sturday night-Sunday.

I am loving driving here and there and knowing the rough running is done. Makes me feel better.

The checklist currently:

Brakes are 1st, then the rest in no particular order. My nephew is willing to help me save a buck and work with me on a new radiator and ac compressor install(when I decide I can actually afford the new parts). I will be asking the shop for help on the brakes when it is inspected next month. I am too intimidated to flush fluid(currently looks like coffee)and mess with rear drum brakes.

finally got around to welding up the extra holes I drilled for the mirrors!! now to check out the power windows to make sure they work, lube them up with some silicone spray and get the door panels back on!
well if it ain;t one thing it's another!! went to check out the power windows before I put the door panels back on, NOTHING but a noise from the relays. WTH?? I had just charged the battery,or so the indicator light said was fully charged- my bad for not checking.I disconnected the battery before welding but after a few checks the battery is not taking a charge even though the charger says its fully charged!! well it is a 6 year old battery with very little use and if they sit they go bad eventually, and even though it's AC-Delco premium it's shot

I finally got my K25 home. My SIL drove it while I tailed him; it sounds wicked with the .525 cam & long tube headers. He can't wait to rip it through the field! Here it is with the younger grandson.

Take performance mushrooms, it'll help.

I started taking this stuff a few months ago and it has helped with brain fog and memory. Doesn't have to be this brand, but this brand had clean ingredients. I add it to my coffee along with the fermented beet powder and the other stuff I add to my go-juice.

So I had my wife ask our midwife (no, we aren't having another baby, we just keep in contact with her, lol) about these performance mushrooms. Like you, she definitely recommended them for me to help with my memory, but she also said it could help with my slightly high cholesterol and my high blood pressure.

My wife and I both became Certified Childbirth Educators back when we were of child bearing interest... so I've worked with a lot of midwives, doulas, lactation specialists, obstetricians, etc. We take a chewable B12 and calcium. Tried the Prevagen but it was useless for us. I haven't heard anything about "performance mushrooms" so where do you get them?
