Good evening Illinois, Jim, and John!

Was another nasty assed day here. If we don't get outside by 10:00AM you might as well stay inside. Was 87° at 7:30 this morning. The heat index for today was 114°.

Hopefully you won't have any problems that slow you down. I know you're excited to get to driving it again.

You have taken it on some long drives, this is good. Problems will show up, you'll go home and fix it and try again. I think its gotten to the point that you can trust it. Now you have to go through the process with the tranny.
