I’m there with Bridget on Thursday night for the Caddie Shack run. Karen’s coming Friday in her yota.

What are we doing Friday for dinner? If y’all want to do something together I’m in, and if it’s pot-luck I’m still in…Let’s figure.

2 weeks to go…who’s going to be there and what are you bringing?

I’ll be there with the beast. Arriving Thursday.

Looking good though. Keep it up.

Fiberglass work SUCKS!!

Well, I recently learned where my talents DO NOT lie — I HATE FIBERGLASS WORK!!!!!

…But it was finally time to get the firewall sealed up so that I could get on with putting the rest of the car together and also get the wiring finished and the dash installed.  But what a royal pain in the butt…..

And even…[Read more]
