The weird thing about wastegates is that oxycodone plugs them up. [Dunno]

The springs are my issue with the stock IWG's. Since I put aftermarket downpipes on, they can't hold the pressures, and now that I'm tuned they are really pissed off. Ford has a Technical service bulletin (TSB) for a replacement because they know that they are weak. I am out of warranty so Ford doesn't want to replace them even though they are a known issue with the ecoboost engine. Just frustrating is all.

Stay away from ice cream and other dairy whenever you have anything going on with your mouth, jaw, and throat.

Ha! Oops! I just downed 1/3 carton of deliciousness.

Healing should take 5-6 weeks, but it was a bone graft and we won't know how successful it was for 6 months.

Awesome. Mrs. HB and I spent a few days last week deciding what to do with the extra $1800 we're going to have available once my car is paid off in 8 months. That's the only non-mortgage debt we have left now.

Also, just for the record: Flyboy is a postwhore newb and secretly shops at Bath and Body Works for his OWN birthday presents. :D
