Tilly gets new red stripes

It has been upwards of 15 years since the first stripes.  Well, I got the best respirator at home depot, krylon and paint sprayer.  First, the prep.  Oh my, lots of cleaning and taping.  Of note, quite a bit of overspray with a spray gun but it was super fun and looks nice.  Of note, the respirator and key to the process as well as thinning the pain with mineral spirits. 

Hopefully will get another 10 years.

Foster cat or…….

Foster cat or…….

Introducing our newest kitty.  Technically, she is a foster kitty.  Her story is… she showed up with 2 kittens and was brought to a rescue.  Heightscream CEO fostered all 3 so the babies could grow and the babies (brother/sister) were adopted together.  Olive though started bonding with the Heightscream staff and doggies.  It is unclear Olive’s foster status but we sure love her.  She is our new kitty physician.  “Dr. Olive”

Carb, Intake and Exhaust Manifolds

Carb, Intake and Exhaust Manifolds

Tilly started backfiring, poor acceleration and clunking sound.  Didn’t sound like a piston rod, push rod, valve as plug pressures 120-150 psi. Sounded like intake or exhaust issue or carb.  Heck, on a 39 year old motor, could be anything.  None the less , taking apart the engine.  Hopefully we don’t have to open the entire engine.  Lots of sensors and vacuum hoses.  All of which could not be working well. And a manifold bolt was broken in the engine block.

Hoffman Farms Trailblazer Event

Hoffman Farms Trailblazer Event

Heightscream was at Hoffman farms this weekend for the Trailblazers ticket holder event.  It was AWESOME.  Over 400 happy individuals, lots of children and our daughter was dressed as an ice cream cone.  It was ice cream national day.  While the team was serving customers, we went berry sampling.  Also, we have new items for the youngster for pictures, drawing and eating ice cream treats.
