    Same here. Full clouds after partly sunny today.

    It's supposed to storm all day tomorrow. Having a fire on the patio tonight. Winds have changed 180° and now there's lightning in the distance. It's like 70° out now and just awesome. We'll enjoy this as long as we can.

    The new bronco will have quite a wide appeal. If you like the full sized ones, l get it. Chevy's new Blazer is something that should be scrapped. Junk

    Looked tonight, lightly overcast and some fog. Could see the big dipper, so I was hoping.

    I think when I get home at 2:30 AM it's too far East and low on the horizon that the surrounding hills are blocking my view.
    :confused:

    Hopefully the skies will be clear on Friday night, I'll set up the T-scope during the day and hopefully catch a glimpse.

    Nice link, it's a neat site. Doesn't look like the app is all that good from some reviews. Especially for an app you have to pay for.

    Still, the site seems useful.
    Thanks

    :)

    Gave the Airens ZT mower it's annual mower blades and annual oil change. I usually shoot for the beginning of the years always but I guess I was busier this one?

    Ford put a turbo on the 2.3 back in the 80s. I'm sure this 2.3 put out easily double the power that one did.:rofl: :lol:

    I literally was just thinking about you and thinking the limited amount of time I have been here the last few weeks I don't remember a post from you and was wondering what you were up too.

    Looks nice.

    The old mustang SVO and Thunderbird turbo coupes were right around 200 hp. The new 2.3 Ecoboost ( no relationship to the old Lima 2.3 in the svo) in the new ranger and presumably the new bronco is 270 hp. Tq is 310 on the new one and almost 250 tq on the old svo Stang. Now the same 2.3 in the new mustang is 310 hp and 350 tq. The higher output focus RS with a built up 2.3 ecoboost is 350 hp/ 350 tq.

    Too big of a file probably. Do a screenshot and/or crop it. If the file is around 8 mb, that's the limit I recall

    I guess I normally just maybe come in right under it, cause I don't usually have that issue.


    Edit: That was it. Not sure why I didn't think of it or it didn't say to reduce the size?

    I had a rare 1986 Cougar turbo coupe...with automatic...(~6500 Cougar TC made, not too many in auto though) seems to me like it was less than 200hp...(Edit: 145HP according to googoofoo)

    I am sure you realized that I also realized that the new Ecoboost should hate nothing other than the same displacement number with the old engine;). They only do That on the iconic and great engines to kind of keep brand loyalty and recognition of the iconic numbers.

    I have had two of the old 2.3s. I had one in a 4 door Tempo that was my first car. That thing went to over 300k last I heard. All my cousins on my side drove it over the years, there were 5 of us. All periods of time. Got given to my mom's boyfriend and then back to us when my brother drove. He sold it to a co worker, that was years ago last we knew it was running.

    And my ranger had one. It was the twin spark plugs model, intake and exhaust plugs. That thing was fuel efficient. I could squeeze 25mpg out of it commuting on the country two lanes here short shifting it. I sold it a year ago. I miss that truck, but I didn't drive it basically ever. It was ruining sitting there and just costing me. I sold it to a local guy, a few years younger than me. It had like 307k on the original engine when I sold it. I still see it riding up and down the road to the day. It would have to have 320k on it by now.

    The other motors that weren't as popular just fall to the way side.

    Yeah, it's just a generic warning, not really saying that the file is too big.

    I forget that most of you use phones and not desktop computers. I used my desktop computer not a phone app to find the direction and then went into the living room and looked for it through the binoculars.

    My uncle had one of the Cougars with the Supercoupe engine way back when. I wanted that car bad, but didnt have the cash when he finally called me to sell it.
