So much monkey business

WE3RX7 · 02-17-2013, 09:55 AM

Been there before

Sorry for the setback man...

It's all good. It's actually not *too* bad, as I've not gotten my radiator and WP housing/AST back from Brian yet. Hopefully that will happen next weekend. That, and I've still gotta resolve that clutch fork issue (since I didn't put it in right to begin with...

). And, on the plus side... Summit cut me a small discount (10%) on the Aeroquip hose ends. That, along with free shipping, has helped save me a few pennies.

Once that's all done it will be time to heat cycle, heat cycle, heat cycle.. then find my way up to Speed1 and the break-in will commence!!

That sucks. Did Brian tell you the bad news yet? You won't have your stuff done till my car is done. No cutting in line.

How is everything else?

...

.... I would offer to fight you for it, but you've got some MASSIVE freaking bear paws... And frankly I find that just a bit intimidating

Hey Levi let me know if you need a hand with that clutch fork.

I wouldn't mess with MC. He could palm you crush you like a coke can and not even break stride moving up in line.

Yeah, I most likely will, lol. I should have asked you earlier in the week to come help this weekend, but I got distracted and forgot. Next weekend I'm going down to Charlottesville, so it may be in two weeks? (unless you're off tomorrow and you get bored, lol).

Speaking of getting your shit done.... I'm going up there next weekend for a break-in map. You wanna come with me to get your FB?

Its not that bad. I think it would be pretty evenly matched. I just wish I was in as good of shape as when I got out of the Navy when I was only 200 lbs on a med cruise I was a lot leaner and could be angry at times.

WE3RX7 · 02-17-2013, 08:53 PM

At least you all are making car progress... I'm on house project duty all week. Just finished remodeling a powder room (thus why I keep missing your calls MC)... tomorrow is clean up and Tuesday starts flooring.

The way I see it, a solid week of home improvement grants me a year of on track indulgence

Levi - what's in C'ville?

C'ville is home for me. And.... I have a feeling that Bianca may be able to get a better deal on her wedding dress there (we haven't done the religious ceremony yet, but plan on doing that just before DGRR this year

)

Oh, and the breweries around there make REALLY good beer, and it's cheap as shit to fill a 72oz Growler

WE3RX7 · 02-18-2013, 09:09 AM

Ah - I didn't know that you were from C'ville,or did I... hmm. Whit actually went to Old Town Alexandria to get her dress.. I guess it just depends.

We usually hit up Devil's Backbone every now and again. I'd offer to come have a beer, but the new one is still a bit too little for hanging around away from home!

When that beast of yours is up and running, you'll have to come down this way with Brian and we can do a mini-DGRR through the backroads of Skyline...

You should try South Street Brewery, just off the Downtown Mall inside of Charlottesville. They're damned good as well, I always bring a growler (or two) of beer from Charlottesville to DGRR, lol.

I'm thinking the springtime mountain cruise DEFINITELY sounds like a good idea =)

I'll kick you a PM on the rest, lol.

JL1RX7 · 02-19-2013, 01:14 PM

Two weeks should be good for me if its good for you

Congrats on the wedding plans!
