No sir!

The plates are in the engineers hands and I will see him this weekend hopefully.
I hope he has good news too.

We are STILL waiting on parts to get some testing done.

We are at a standstill.

Don't worry, we are not going away!

Holy ****! That is gross.
But seriously, if you do, I have one.......seriously.

It was given to me(Thanks Glenn!), so I really do not want to sell it, but I would take a trade!

Don't worry, it's been entertaining for those of us who already have 8.8's. All good things take time, unless of course you have a credit card that is in need of a good beating.

Thank you!

No sir, with OUR work schedules and having to wait on suppliers, it has doubled the time it has taken.

I need to get on the engineer/CAD guy(my brother) and get the plans completed, the test piece back and the first run of 5-10 brackets back from the CNC company.

After that, there is a jig that needs to be finished and some fabrication that needs to be done for the front mount.

I am shooting for Christmas and hoping for Columbus day.

Yup! As soon as 54 drinks as much as fuzzy, and goes on the same dry spell as well.

I don't know what to say for once.

It must be the lack of Rum in my system.
