Twin Peaks in Altamonte Springs. I went there several months ago, similar results. There won't be a third time.

Not really, the "scenery" was terrible. I saw one, maybe two that could be considered eye candy.

Nothing exciting today, just an oil change. I am liking the gear change, it is what it needed from the factory.

My transmission crapped the bed last night. The 72' will have to sit again while I fix the truck. Going to swap in the engine and transmission out of my old truck. It was the plan all along, but was hoping to hold off until this summer/fall.

I opted to have the transmission rebuilt for now. Got it back yesterday, right away knew something was wrong. Got home, let it cool, checked fluid... 5 quarts low.

Called the builder today, said it shouldn't have hurt anything. Still does not set well with me.
