Van #2 is running like a top now. After being convinced one of the vacuum lines was leaking, turned out it was a sticking PCV valve.
That engine still sounds like it's wheezing but it's not throwing lean codes anymore
Now I need to make a list of parts van #1 needs, after a couple years of being parts van, so I can get it rolling, then fly down on some 3-day weekend and drive it up north after filling it full of remaining bikes and other crap.

In other news, I loaded up my bike for tomorrow. It's supposed to be in the upper 60's so I might give it a whirl. I felt a little better today and got another laser treatment on the affected lower back area. The Orthopedic Doc said I probably wouldn't cause any damage by riding so I'll make a game time decision. Maybe just 45 minutes. Wednesday is supposed to be 70.

Note:
After being sidelined this year it became apparent that bicycling is my drug of choice.

Wait, he just lasers the skin covering your spine and that's supposed to help with a disc problem?

Currently waiting on 4 packages to finish the Cannondale. And the USPS tracking hasn't updated on 3 of them for at least a couple days.....

My family tried to convince me to go through rehab but gave up after 4-5 years or so. Actually, my wife gave in and joined me after a couple years but it took my parents and siblings a lot longer to understand that family events on weekends had to be late in the afternoon to not conflict with our riding.

Now that I got her in the saddle I hope the sweet euphoric addiction hooks her too.

Did I mention that I broke 1000 watts in a sprint the other day? 1013 watts to be exact. Kinda freaked me out a little.
