OK, here's your new mantra until the C5Z is back home ............
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RRRRUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSHHHIIINNNGGGG!

Be patient Rich, it'll get there Woulda been nice to see it in St. Augustine,
but maybe next March if we decide to make a trip to Apalachicola I'll be able to see it.

Well, things were shaping up to where this drivetrain replacement was going to fall right at the same time of the St. Augustine trip, so I just decided to delay the install until we get back. So if everything goes OK and all the parts are in, I'm expecting to be taking the car to Chris's on the 26th.

Yeah I could have dropped it off beforehand, I think, but I REALLY want to take a lot of video of the install. Obviously I would miss a lot of that if we were in St. Augustine at the time much of the work was being done.

There is still a complication in that my garage will be delivered on November 4th and erected over the next few days, but I'm hoping the majority of the drivetrain replacement will be done by then anyway. If not, I can always just set up one of my camcorders on a tripod for the building erection and run over to Xtreme with one of my other camcorders.

So I think I'm going to be able to juggle all these balls just fine...... Hopefully, anyway.... Trying to fit in the closing down of my reptile business all at the same time......

Not much room left on your plate right at the moment, is there?

No.... And I still have to move the sites (including this one) from my second server over to my new one. And it has to be soon, or I wind up paying another month on that old server. I dunno, the first server was pretty rough. I may not even want to tackle that right now anyway.

But I definitely want to be on hand the first time my new motor is brought to life. That is worth waiting another week or so for....

Yeah, when it comes to life for the first time, that's it's birthday, and you wouldn't wanna miss that.

Well, Keli says that my new motor came in yesterday and she's going to send me some photos of it. Well, you just KNOW I'm going to have to ride out there to Xtreme and see this bad boy for myself.........

Well, here's the latest pics I have of the new 427 motor from LME. I think two of them are duplicates of the previous photos I got. I REALLY want to see the completed motor!

Yes it is. I'm thinking maybe I should make it into a coffee table instead of hiding it underneath my hood.... Wanna bet I don't get the big VETO from Connie about this idea?
