I think that there is a rule out there that says something like "sux on the even numbered days, blows on the odd ones" or something like that. Either way......it was BAD, but coulda been much worse! Hope it's an easy (and inexpensive) fix

Rats.... STS put the oil pump on a slow boat to AntiVenom, and instead of shipping on Friday like I was told, didn't get out until Monday. ETA is July 10th.

Rich, Any Idea what what day your coming over, I'm driving up to Anti Venom this Saturday. When you come over I would like to come up if the schedule permits. Don't forget Joe's party is on the 14th.

I'm guessing it will be Friday the 13th...

Not sure if we'll be spending the night in the area or not. Depends on how long Greg thinks it will take to get it fixed. I've got a BUNCH of snakes hatching out now, so time is getting REAL precious. I need to get back ASAP to keep on top of things.

Connie is going to be following me, maybe in the C6, so we probably won't hang around there all day getting underfoot. It's about a 4.5 hour drive for us, so we're going to try to head out here early enough to give Greg most of the day to work on the car. Of course, I haven't heard back from Greg, so I'm just assuming the 13th us OK with his schedule.

I've planning on running the car out to the dealership to get the oil changed tomorrow. I've got a load of regular dino oil in the crankcase right now and want to replace it with synthetic. Guess I might as well switch over to the Royal Purple now anyway. Just hope I don't get it all blown out the tailpipes.....

But yeah, if we could meet up with some folks while Connie and I are down that way, that would be great. Just at this point I can't accurately say when we expect to roll in there. Not to mention that the possibility does exist that the car might start blowing oil again, and in that case I will have to call for a flatbed tow the rest of the way. I've got the AAA extended service, so that will help with part of the mileage, if that happens. Still, it will put a significant dent in our schedule getting down there.
