Well, not much going on here; NOT!!! I've started wiring the house for cable and phone, and will finish this weekend. Speakers in strategic locations also included. The whirlpool is kind of in place, but the deck around it is all wrong! I hope to finish wiring this weekend, which means no time for the car. I imagine we'll go for dinner Saturday night, so maybe I'll pull her out for the ride.

I need a few hours for the car, as I have the new pedals, but no time to install them. They look great, but will look even better on the car. I also got the dead pedal, which will prove a challenge to install, I'm sure. There's no real dead pedal spot, so they make a shelf to create the space.

Stacey is 30 weeks prego now, only 10 or so weeks left. Seems like yesterday that we spent that weekend in North Carolina

So what about you; what's got you smiling this week?

Glad to hear things are well Hawk.. My new 5 Series BMW is here , so that is cool.. and maybe sometime in the garage this weekend... I do have to take my 968 in , one headlight has stopped functioning and going up, probably the motor on that side, Oh well, the joys of P car ownership.

Have a good weekend.

Geoff... The builder will let you go in and do your own wiring? I wish our builder would have allowed that. We snuck in a few times when it was being built but they made us sign something that said we wouldn't interupt the building process. They didn't want to have to inspect what we did. Plus they said their insurance company wouldn't allow it.

Couldnt get the Pcar out of the garage today since the relatives are down for a free Florida vacation motel room They all leave today so when i get off in a couple of hours i think i will take a nice top down drive to Daytona to check out the waves.
Had a picnic at my property last night and after taking a walk we come back to the picnic table to find a darn black bear enjoying the last of the fried chicken. It seems my area is over run with these critters or maybe its we have over run his place!
I got the software for the PC Hammer and now searching for an interface. Thanks to all that worked on figuring it out and I am sure I will have many more questions

Four sweet days off and a huge box of parts from Vertex so my weekend will be as full as I can make it with re-assembly (oh yeah - time with the wife and son too ).

I think that, once I get the cup pipe from Gert and the correct front sway bar bushings from TRG, I should be driving again in a week after 4 long months off!

I get my car back today After a new clutch install and some minor leak o-ring fixes...the cost...well But after driving it yesterday, it feels as if I have a new car. Hats off to the guys at Eurosport Ltd.

The wife is at 21 weeks....all is going smooth. Going up to the mountains for the final days of skiing and snowboarding over the weekend.

Just got an e-mail that all the parts finally came in for my motor, and the bottom end, P&Cs and heads are back together. Tomorrow the cams and valve train go together, so hopefully it will be running by mid next week. We are on schedule for me to get it on the 25th!
