Dan, we'll test him first no doubt.

Been so busy earning a living but the job is nearing its end.

I contacted my aero guy after he'd sent me mail a while back saying that the vertical stabilizer I designed
was too small.

I asked for a new design but he needs the CG first. This is going to take a while so I figure we'll have a tail
that will be bonded and bolted onto the rest when the car is complete.

Mark has lit a fire under my butt now and from Monday we'll be in an elevated stage of urgency.

Sorry, no pics. I know you all love photos but I'll have a few in a day or two.

Been meeting with sponsors and collecting products.

Need to make some headway but the day job is interfering.

I collected my water filler neck today.

Nice welding job. Thanks Duncan.

The radiator is in a box and lower than the motor (top outlet)
so I'll need to be able to bleed the system and this unit should do the job.

Looks like progress is being made.  It is frustrating sometimes.  There will be a time when you look at it and there will be hardly anything left to do.

[tauruck]

Thanks Bo.

We're trying to get back on the project but the current workload is too great.
Hopefully I'll be done by this coming Friday and then I can give the liner the attention
it deserves.

I took on a big welding job to help Guido's son Martin and his
business partner Warren. Gates for a shopping mall.
9 total with the biggest being 18 x 8ft. Gotta earn bucks to buy parts
for the "black hole".

Warren came to help and he got the usual "Flyer" welcome.

Mike, those are hefty gates.  Do they use them to keep people out when the mall is closed or are they for decoration?

[tauruck]

The gates are for the rear of the complex. One is for deliveries and one is for the generator shed.
The others I don't know.

All I want is the job to be over.

All I want is the job to be over.

Yeah.   Working for a living sucks . . . . . . .

Mark, I got used to only working on the liner.

I don't need all these other interruptions.

[tauruck]

Something heavy fell on my Lincoln Helmet today.
Lets say I blew a gasket but there are parts available.

This S%$#T doesn't stop. As soon as I have a few bucks in my pocket
 the starts out finding ways of blocking me. I just handed over the bucks for a new set of Pirelli tires for the little lady's Chevy.
I never had Pirelli but she only uses them. Go figure. Ford guy fittin P4s to a chevey. Time to drink and screw work.

I should have been at the biker shootout. Better chances of survival there guaranteed.

Call me McSCROOGE from now on!!!!!!!!

Mike;

To quote Rosanne Rosannadana on the old Saturday Night Live show "It's always somethin'!"

Mike, you could be me.  It can get worse.  Right now I am stuck and rotting in a London hotel room waiting for e-mails and phone calls about insurance for a race on Saturday.  My hotel phone bill is 80 GBP and climbing.  Like you, I take short breaks and visit the local for a pint.

Bo, my PC crashed/blew probably due to all the black outs here.
~Working off my my other halve's laptop with an unfamiliar keyboard.
Mistakes are inevitable but I'm stuck with it until I get the big one repaired.


Hope you come right with your dilemma.
