No rain here at all. I'm sure we'll get some later today though.

Well you never know but right now I have enough projects going on. Hoping to get that Impala done soon so I can get it sold and move on to the next one.

Got here and hit the ground running. Barely got situated and had a 9am phone call, then a 10am meeting. Still trying to get something accomplished today. 2:00 meeting, 2:30 meeting, the who knows what.

Anyone know where to find some more motivation? I can't seem to find it (except to post on here).
Hey Michael! Sounds like a busy day.

Myth busters did an episode about hitting the ground running. I think they concluded you get there slower doing that

We have had a few good claps of thunder again and it just started pouring again. I may need the rain suit to get home tonight...

Wow! Quiet here tonight...

Turns out I am a bigger dumba$$ than even I thought was. My dirtbike is a 1986, not 1985. Makes me wonder if those shift forks I installed are really correct. The gasket kit I ordered and received today is wrong...AGAIN!

Now I can be delayed even longer and order the RIGHT ones.

And the stupid thing is I was thinking it was an '86 when I started this process but something I looked at along the way made me think it was an '85. Duh!
