G for Halloween weekend. - UPDATE - This car rocks!
« on: October 07, 2010, 08:15:43 AM »
It is almost ready to go and it is getting oh so close.   

Got the transaxle back from Bill.  Installed.  Fully rebuilt the CV's (New chromoloy cages - rest was good) Installed new HP fuel filter - looks good.  Repacked wheel bearings.  Have a few loose ends to tie up.  Need two -6 an fittings.  Waiting on replacement low pressure filter from OutFront. Couple other odds and ends.  But, almost ready to go. 

So, the plan was day trip this weekend.  Clean the toyhauler, get a few hours on the car, etc.  Well, big ass storm came through.  If work comes from it like expected, i will be bringing in folks from out of state to cover the overflow - no real complaints, it is pennies from Heaven.  Last time that happened I worked 6 months with out a day off.  Guess it could be the same, but I am going to the sand on 10/28.  So, the countdown has begun.  No pre run, just the k i c k off weekend.  Get there a day early and mess with toy hauler if required. 

So the upshot? T - 20 and counting - will be too busy with the storm to find time to do anything but work. 

so, anybody else planing on G for Halloween?



You see rain and hail - I see this......

Can you top the hail that we had here in the Wichita area a couple of weeks ago.  One stone was better then seven inches wide.  We got more roofing company's in town then Maky D's.

I NEVER want to see another hailstorm. GREAT business the next 12 months but after that there's NO business. Just about sank us last time.

No  - cant top the scale; but got you covered on the area.  BTW; friend of mine with the red tatum is in town with his roofing company - they have been there awhile now.  Just in case you need a roofer.

T-19;  need to pick up some -6 fittings today.   Too much other stuff to do.  Poop. 

Gypsy roofer friend is coming from Wichita for a ride along today...  He wants to assess damage see if he can do his roofing thing..... 

Last Friday I picked up his car from a local shop as he was out of town.  Last trip of the year he lost a motor.  He was good with it and thought it was a good weekend cause we got in some good runs.  Same weekend I sold my old car - so the year was done.  Anyways, he got to spend a boat load of cash for a new LS7.  It is already set up for twin turbos, etc.  Dyno sheet attached - RWHP 590 - BTW, it has a "mild tune."   LMAO

Yes, it pays the bills, yes, it can be "lucrative," yes, I am tired of folks already telling me how bad the hail storm was.  Snap, snap, measure, measure; I have stuff to do.

So, I don't run my own schedule.  Just makes it easier when I am out and about to have somebody else book it all.  Most of the time it is so tight it just hurts, but that is a good thing.  Invoice more money per hour that way. Today was not one of them days. 

On the west side we have Foddril's - I had never been and had an hour to kill - dang - wish i would have never found the place.  Buggy parts heaven.  Tabs to shocks - its in stock and on display.  Other cool stuff as well - guy ships all over to boot - even to me....

http://www.foddrillmotorsports.com/

So, what did I get?  First they had little pre-labeled switch plates - lights, hid lights, etc - got some cause I cant remember what switch does what.  Then, this is important - I got out of state OHV permits.  Now, technically I don't need one, but it is an "insurance policy" so I don't have to have a conversation with the BLM man or Sheriff as to the finer points of the AZ / CA reciprocity and vehicle codes...... 

My car, my bike, friends cars, friends bikes - bought a grip full.   


Not very exciting, but getting closer at 17 days....... 

Might sneak in a shakedown run the weekend before so - drum roll please...... might be just 11 days.......

Well......the trip went good, hot as usual this time of year, but got a call from berts the Friday I was leaving and they said my commander came in.... resisted the urge to go pick it up and had a good trip out riding the quad. Surprisingly there was a good amount of people there no where close to Halloween but a good weekend to play in some untouched sand. Took a trip over to the flag pole cause a few of my friends hadn't seen it yet. Came home sunday went to berts and bought the commander and picked it up Monday after work. I'll start a post tomorrow on that though. All I can say for now is Fassst! ;D I'll be out there this weekend though......unfortunately stock cause I'm so busy with ot at work

where did they put that thread?   I got to page 26 and now can't find it.  Is it in the Cheff's lounge and if so how do you get into it?

Never mind I found it. Only 28 pages.  If'en they had 32 when you were last on it they have deleted some since. 

Dam Master you should have just went out and found the biggest dam wasp nest you could find and poked it with a big stick.  You wouldn't have got as much responce though.  :o :o ;D ;D I think it's ifen funny all the drama.
