Sean, you should not have shown me that. I think I just reached the part of my work day where I realized that I wasn't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

My dad is supposed to be getting me a jar from a guy he's working with in New Ibera, the guys son brews it. Dad said it's pretty good and smooth, I will have to bring it with me so we can have a shot at each meet. I'm thinking of infusing it with some flavor first.

Fuck flavor, I wanna know what that shit really tastes like. Besides, if you're gonna shoot it, then it doesn't matter that much what it tastes like.

Go grab a bottle of rubbing alcohol and take a swig...lol
Dad said the guy has a bottle he made 30yrs ago that he flavored with cinnamon, him and a buddy take one shot every year when they get to deer camp. And they have been doing that for 30yrs, I thought that was pretty cool but of course if we tried that with one shot per meet it wouldn't last us very long...lol

I think TC recommended to take it all apart as well. But it wasn't necessary. I did have to do some grinding and cutting to make them fit properly though, not much, but it wasn't a direct fit out of the box.

Oh man, that sucks they are covered over.

A barn would be awesome... have you ever checked out the Garage Journal forum? Some of the garages over there are just amazing.

My old boss has a place in Newport Beach that is a condo steps away from the water, great restaurants, etc. that is all museum through out. Theres a racing Ducati in the breakfast nook. Right now he has his road racing car, about 15 museum bikes, a couple of Superformance play toys - everything in all their VERY ANAL, uptight glory (all with their own trickle charger. He has a detailer come over to dust and detail the collection on a regular basis (a couple of weeks). He wouldn't wrench on a light switch. I used to race go carts with him every Tuesday and he's one of the guys that I went to Costa Rica with. Real nice guy but way too uptight for my kind of fun!

Now that being said, I'd love to have his toy budget!!! :)

Thanks again for pulling my head out of my ass!!! Of freaking course - if I have a 10" spring and I'm 4.5-5.0 down on the coil spring - change the friggen spring - I felt like It was perfectly clear after that! Thanks!

Regarding the gusset, I think I may attempt to revise the design a bit! I would never be able to put my wheels back on with out running spacers. Are you running spacers?

Speaking of Dakars, has anyone ever seen the Dakars over flex and deform any? Mine looked a little funky, I'm gonna measure side to side ride hieght and make sure I'm not seeing things.

My AP are bent! - after those are removed, I think I will be good!!! :)

Did you build that thing yourself?

Nope - I got it used from a TW member and it was riddled in years of rust. It's a Kensaw...and soon to be getting the final coat in a couple minutes.

Will pay to see Cmack get tased
Got the engine, front and rear diffs and T-case oils changed as well as a new fuel filter. Threw some Amsoil in the mower and snowblower too. I should have done the transmission while I was under there. Maybe next weekend.
