any florida skoolies doing anything fun at christmas?



im going to atlanta for 3 days for work..(thurs-fri-sat) then NOT heading back to OhiO.. (im really Ticked off at my friends / family up here.. so im running away!!).. utterly "forgetting" my 50th birthday and really not being invited to any fun christmas events by them.. asta lavista.. no Christmas party at my house this year for them!!.. Beachtime for me!



instead, heading to florida... everntually staying in the southern part of the state for a week or two.. but meandering my way there along the way.



im up for coffee or a drink, or a meal, always love to meet friends new and old in my travels..

Merry Christmas to you too!!
 
If you make it to the east coast, I'm just south of Kennedy Space Center in Satellite Beach. KSC is a great day trip if your into that, rockets launching all the time over here with space X as well. If you happen to make it this way let me know.

I'm about an hour or so below Ninjakitty in Vero Beach. Would love to link up with both you and Ninjakitty haha! :thumb:


@shortcircuitbus on instagram.. :dance:
 
cool stuff.. ill definitely be on the east coast for part of the trip as im eventually going to land in lauderdale and WPP... probably ditch my bus at my office in WPB and stay in lauderdale for a few days.. I for sure will be in the central part too.. its not a florida trip if i dont stop N see ECCB and drink starbucks in a bus or van! I want to ride in the Cat bus too!!


I'll have my Navistar programmer with me so anyone that we connect has a Navistar we can alter settings in your computers and run diagnostics..



im a little bit hesitant to pump up people';s engines to insane levels of power just because its an unknown.. I turned mine WAYYYY up the other day.. when i started it, the thing growled like a straining monster at idle and was puffing a little black smoke.. took it around the block and tried to get on the main roads... ran my HPOP out of oil and it lit the dashboard uop like a christmas tree and just stopped dead..



took a bit of cranking to get it back to life after reprogramming to something manageable.. 350 Horsepower was too much to ask of a T444e apparently!

Are you able to do anything more then my Nexiq cable and Navistar software. I was able to remove my speed limiter, but not sure what else you can do.. :) Thanks! :thumb:
