My hand is on the mend and Race Pack parts are arriving.

UK basketball has decided to make political statements which I think has no place in the college game. That will free up two to four more hours a week to work on the car.
My hand is coming along nicely, now it’s back to work.

Dr. said its ok to go back to work. I've been out of service for seven weeks, man do I have some catching up to do. To my surprise both hands have lost strength and are tender.

But Patsy and I received our first of two vaccination yesterday.

All nine O2 sensors fit in the pipes and on the car. I did have to remove one tube to install the O2 and then reinstall the tube. Once again it shows how good Calven Elston is at his craft.

Well today is the first day I have felt good enough to get something done. I had good and bad news when I pulled the pipes off, most of the exhaust ports looked real good and dry, then pulled #8 and it was black and oily. So it will be off with its head to see what might be slowing it down. Now I have visions of the cylinder being fixed and the car going faster. Man I love this game!

I did bump my hand a few times and it reminded me how tender it was, but its getting better.

I'm trying to get a second engine built for a backup. So today and I mean a long today I spent doing inventory. I was surprised how much of the basic building blocks I had on hand. I still lack a few major parts but not as bad as I thought. I've saved up for a few things. Patsy just called and said supper is ready.
