Well, here's a good news, bad news tidbit. I won't be able to make it this weekend. I gotta go to PHX on business Monday, so I'm gonna go skiing at Taos Friday. I bought some LH drill bits too, darnit. Sorry I'm gonna miss the fun, but I'll do the next one.

Hopefully my new hatch cover will make it to roger's house!

Well I lost internet broadband service for a couple of hours.
Back on line.

I'd like to view the festivities and join the chat. I think invitations need to be s ent out by the people doing the webcamming.

My yahoo IM address is a_shorething. If Bill and/or the guys in TX will send me an invite, I'd sure like a little support while I'm working on my first one...

I have to install the webcam in the morning at Nicole's place. We actually probably won't be ready to go until 10 am PT. Roger and the boys will probably be packing up by then. Anyway, we'll try to connect about 10.

Hi Guys,
Diaster upon disaster.
Long Long story but we have not got internet out to the garage. We tried direct hookup and the new N series wireless. DO NOT BUY N series what a waste of $350. It has no better range than G series.
I will PM anyone my cell number so we can all talk if not see.
All three cars are well into the work and we are at the point of taking of the TB.
Bill,
I will PM my home and cell to you.
Mike same to you.
Roger

Hope the startups are all thumbsup on the 3 cars.

Remember they used to extend wireless range by hacking up a metal coffee to help the antenna's range.

Anyone brought a Super 8mm movie camera to record the event?

Well I'm now a spectator. I busted two bolts and it looks like my luck has run out on being able to guess which parts I'm going to need.

I'm going to move forward with the water pump and tensioner rebuild, but I won't be able to button it up until I can get more parts (gears, bolts, etc). I knew I should have taken Bill's advice. (although it probably would have been more frustrating to have to wait for a bolt than all of the gears, and a bolt).

Hope everyone else is having better luck.

Has anyone ever seen the warning light just jumped out to ground? Surprise! That was an eye opener. I guess I was flying without a net.

Oh, and also I can't get Yahoo messenger loaded or the webcam in the garage because I'm running Win98 out there. My network is working though, so I can keep up with this thread as I work, and may have questions on the tensioner rebuild.


Now where did I put that parts list...
