Add a little huffer, a little laughing gas, make sure the fuel pressure holds up. a bit-o-tuning, and WAA-LAA, a semi-dependable thousand horsepower motor. On stock sticks.

Not that I would want one, but jus' sayin'....

Heading up to Crowley in the morning. The containers are being delivered tomorrow afternoon and we start digging Monday. Hope to get some fishing accomplished in between the two distractions.

Are you going to have internet access up there?

If so, keep us apprised of progress.

If not, see you at the other end of the adventure!

I'll have my phone, but service is pretty spotty. Won't be able to post any pics but I'll pop in from time to time

Won't be a long stay this time. Should be home by Tuesday for a few days.

I hadn't bought a license in a few years, and it floored me that they cost 45 bucks...without the "ocean enhancement".

Saturday is the trout opener in the eastern Sierra. You've picked a busy weekend to start work. Be careful on the highway.

We're not going up for the opener this year, but we will be up for 4 days in two weeks.

Bob? Is that you?

You can probably go to that link and replay it, I know that worked for Breaking Point 1 with the Ford.

http://www.breakingpoint2.com/

Just click on it after it comes up, and go to around 3:50...that's the good part .
