Definately a tongue twister!

Congrats on the new house!!!

You are running out of excuses to start working on that car so get ready cause your friends on LS1tech will be on your *** everyday!!! And the excuse "my camera is acting up" wont hold up either since you have the Nikon DSLR!!! So plenty of work needs to be done and plenty of pics as well!!!

Its all in fun! Steve has had a lot to deal with lately. He got married, buying a new house, job has diminished, car is not finished and Lord knows what else he has had to deal with. I like Steve as he is a hard working fella and because of our leaders he is now without employment. But none the less he needs to finish that car! Back to work Steve!!!

Steve,

Congrats on the house... Yes, Thursday will be bittersweet... I hope you looked at DynCorp down here at Patrick. They are hiring like gang-busters for their aviation program. See you up there on Thursday (I'll be the guy in one of the HH-60 PaveHawks).
