Naw, it's just my way to refer to the coffee since it seems like our Canadian freinds seem to have a cult following for Tim Horton's.
What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2021]

We-ell, depending on how you like your cult, For the home brew crew it's either Tim Hortons or Robins with a heretic bunch who have embraced Starbucks thrown in to liven up the contraversy.
And today, I finally managed to take that little brass bushing that I had whittled on my lathe and set it into position in the FI Tech throttle lever top 1/2" hole. A quick re-visit back to the lathe and a fast shave of about .010" and it dropped into place like it was made for it!! (LOL) Had to chuckle because apparently Jegs offers a kit made in brass that comes with a front and rear bushing set along with a stud and a few other bits; all you hve to do is buy it! Mine came from necessity, an idea, and a couple of attempts based on my own personal work on a lathe. And No, there are no pictures of the final install. it was 100+ degrees here when I plugged it into position and recording the event for posterity never even entered my mind.
But BOY, HOWDY did it change the tip in. Went from needing to wear a diver's lead boot on my foot to well used tennis sneakers. Just a simple change in the amount of leverage by moving the pivot point on the throttle cable out about an inch further from the stock, default position and what a difference. Did have to open up the hole in the factory cable tab to 1/4 from slightly under (metric?) Used a step drill and chucked it into a T-Bar tap handle and cut it by hand to keep the debris from flying like what would happen with a drill motor. Took a bit of encouragement to get it to work but it did.
So now tomorrow it is off to the car wash for a badly needed and well deserved bath. If the tree on the boulevard didn't belong to the city it would have disappeared years ago. Thing bleeds sap like, well other things that also bleed profusely. It may still get a discrete hedging of certain branches in the interest of obtaining vehicular clearance; just have to find my pole shears.

Fuel delivery issues. Harness/connectors look fine, filter not plugged, must be the 2 year old AEM pump?
I was autocrossing the Kitty until someone decimated their Audi RS3 slideways doing a double-wheel curb job.
You could hear the suspension snap from hundreds of meters away.

We're having trouble with a 2014 Silverado 2500 HD at work. 6.0. The GM replacement pumps are pulling 16 amps out of the box. They're burning up the fuse box. I guess blame Covid?
Mine is rated at 13A, never measured it though. It's never popped the 15A fuse under the hood.
