It's been goin good. Things calmed down after moving just in time to start the holidays, lol.
The Blazer's still running along, but my motherboard died a couple weeks back. It always was a little funky, then my daughter followed me for a bath wearing my shoes and shocked the hell outta the case. Time for a new one anyway. 990 chipset probably, but 970 does the job just fine too.. so idk.
The shift kit's installed and I had concerns about the cold weather because of the friction modifier (lucas). It was below 0 a few nights, and no chuggy/sloppy shifts on cold fluid so no issues there. Saving for the paint's become more of a chore lately, but still hoping for next year. C'mon Blazer.. One more year! Lol
Edit: We didn't get snow this year till a couple weeks back. Hundreds of accidents. The car saw 90 minutes between two days of road crap, and that's enough. I'm fairly certain they started using mag chloride up here since last winter. Yuck.
