Thanks, yea I have lost a fair bit of weight from where I was a couple years back, but am still in that ~30lbs heavier than I was around this time last year when I was in the best shape of my adult life, and much weaker on top of being heavier which sucks!
Luckily Lupita wants to get back into her running routine and to start adding in the gym once we're living together, will be great motivation and much easier to put in the workouts when I'm doing it with the person I most prefer to spend my time with
. She had surgery on her back last month and is still in recovery mode a bit, but around the time we plan to move in together is around the time she will have no restrictions
So yea, will be fixing that in the future and am already starting to eat more healthy in the past weeks as I went and got blood tests done and my acetic acid level is high which is causing the swelling and pain in my legs/feet. Gotta cut out a lot of red meat, a lot of alcohol, all of this will ofc help me with the weight loss grind

__________________________________________________ _
Busy day today and tomorrow, won't be getting really any poker in until Wednesday. Am hanging out with Lupita in a bit, went and did all of my running/errands with Ruseman this morning while the maid was at work.
Tomorrow morning I have a meeting with my lawyer and the notary public; after this the corporation should nearly be completely set up and we should be in good shape for our Apr 5th closing date that we are planning on. Have a slew of my own papers and Lupita's papers to bring to this meeting, today her and I will be making sure we get all of our papers in order BEFORE we begin to drink heh
Doing a bit of studying right now in my down time, also was talking to my mechanic last night as we are discussing our next set of orders. Here are a few of the things we will be buying
Cold Air Intake
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1998-2003-Fo...3?roken=cUgayN
These trucks heat up and run at super hot temperatures and I will definitely have problems this summer if I don't upgrade the headers and put in a better cold air intake as these bad boys need to BREATHE
We're having a lot of trouble finding headers for a 7.3 (easy to find them for the 6.0s and 6.4s) so no pics of what we're likely to order on that yet
Turbo Housing
http://www.xtremediesel.com/ATS-2029...r-Housing.aspx
My neighbor has a 2001 Ford Excusion with the same 7.3L Powerstroke TurboDiesel engine and after he upgraded the housing in his turbo, it sounded absolutely sick. Sounds like a jet, so yea besides obviously being better for the longevity of the turbo, it will sound a helluva lot better as well
And while I have a bit of time, I can go into a bit more detail and show some pics from at the very end of 2016/very beginning of 2017. We realized something was wrong deep in the engine after we had injector 8 (the most important injector that does the most work) rebuilt and it didn't solve the issue. Ended up having to drag the entire engine out of the truck (a massive pain in the ass) and we realized that one of the pistons was heavily damaged.
Ended up having to order a whole engine rebuild kit, had the piston fixed and the cylinder resleeved was rehoned etc. Didn't drive the truck for about a month at that point as my diesel mechanic put as many hours as he could into it and takes his time and makes sure and does everything correctly, cleans everything, repaints and retouches up, etc. Was quite the scary time as it was already quite the expensive fix, and if it didn't solve our issue, I would have been in an even worse spot
But yea, here are some pics and descriptions from that. His house was absolutely hilarious during this process, you entered and there were just pieces of my truck scattered absolutely everywhere
Damage on the piston
Engine out of the truck
Mechanic metal brushed and cleaned up everything and redid some paint and polished up where it was needed (a lot was needed)
Fun side note, 1 of my 8 injectors for my truck are bigger than all 6 for my Chevy Malibu that has IIRC a 3.4L V6 engine; absolutely insane how large they are and just how big the engine is in general.
End of the job and the engine ready to go back in
Okay about time for me to shower and then head out to pick up the GF. If people are not interested in the truck related project, I can surely not post about it. Just thought it was a nice change of pace from the past where I mostly just posted about poker related content! GLA on the grind
