        PINKHEMI had the oil changed on friday, first one is free so I took it to work and did it on the clock. Mechanics thought I was nuts, car has 822 miles on it and I'm changing the oil. But I wanted the break in oil out of it before we left. Then when I cleaned, boxed, and kept the original oil filter they REALLY thought I was nuts!

        Located and installed some cardboard tubes for posters, added a better jack, breaker bar/sockets and torque wrench, jumper cables needed to be in there anyway, fixing up a bucket full of cleaning supplies too. BUT I gotta go back to work now, 20 hours so far this weekend and I'm not done yet!

          I am at least a full day behind schedule!

          I got the wagon back from the upholstry shop on Friday and am a little disappointed with the attention to detail on their work. It is what it is and there isn't time to do anything about it now.

          I am whipped - unlike Matt (claypool ??) I can't do all nighters back to back to back. I worked on it from 6:00pm Friday until 3:00am Saturday morning, then tried to go to bed, didn't sleep well/much. I got back up at 7:00am and worked on it till 4:00pm Saturday afternoon took a couple hour break and then worked on it again until 1:00am Sunday. I watched the F1 race this morning and then back into the garage untill 5:00pm when it was time for another break. I suspect I will spend a few more hours out there tonight trying to get all the last little details taken care of before washing and waxing it on Monday. I had wanted to wax it twice but at this point I am going to have to settle for a top coat of High Tech #26. The last important mechanical thing I need to address is bleeding the brakes. I don't seem to be intelligent enough to do it by myself so I am going to have to line up some help and then squeeze it in between all the other stuff that needs to happen before I can leave. Tuesday is my last free evening to work on the wagon before I leave on Saturday morning.

          Sooooo - unless some more unanticipated joy decides I haven't had enough fun lately - I will be on tour after all this year.

                        OK, why wouldn't your car start Bob?

                            Not my Bob. I should have specified it was Boob. Internal combustion engines usually run better with fuel!

                            Well we're off to Nawlins in a few minutes here. Happy Trails everybody.

                              I am sure he was preoccupied calculating his fuel mileage as he was quite full of himself yesterday getting TWICE the MPG that I get in the wagon! Does that mean he has 1/2 the power?

                              Safe travels and tell the Brady's HI for me.
