supp woods? did a bunch of shopping today.....over 600 bucks on 4 pairs of glasses, 2 for me 2 for the missus.........guess it aint bad......my insurance doesn't carry out of network, and in network is a 300 dollar bill for one pair let alone 2.
What a day. Finally finished putting the new engine in the jeep and started it for the first time this evening. It started, but won't idle; have to keep light pressure on the gas pedal. Funny thing though, have a CEL light, but my scanner says no codes found. It can't be stored codes because the battery has been disconnected since I blew the motor in mid June. Thinking the ECM needs to learn the new engine. It's probably used to a motor with 170K on it and now is trying to run a motor with 0 miles on it. Gonna try to drive it for a bit tomorrow and see what happens.
When I lived in Arizona over 30 years ago, I used a dark plastic shield, clip on the sun visor like this one. Just looked on Amazon to see if they were still sold, and now there are much fancier ones, I like this dual one with yellow too, sometimes I get blinded by oncoming traffic at night. The dark plastic one I had worked pretty well in daylight. If you have tall side windows like on a pickup, it works real well to block the sun that seems to more often than not be just below the sun visor. In Arizona I put a strip of dark film across the top of the windshield, allowed there but I had to take that off in Minnesota.

Well, I'm going to throw a Vac gauge on it first. Problem will be getting the wife to spray starting fluid around the intake to find the leak if there is one. What could go wrong???
