Yeah.  But if there are that many people who think you need more than a deli-style 'take a number' machine, you may want to go to church more.  Not judging, just saying.

No, no, no...the revolving door was supposed to be installed in hotel rooms at Kappa events!

The door...the door was used and abused.  I gave up after maybe 30 seconds when I realized there was nothing more. :lol:

So far so good! Made it to Indiana and the patch is holding up! 4 hrs to go!

To add to the flat tire debacle...my Dad's connecting flight home was almost an hr late last night. Why?

 The plane had a flat tire!  :lol:

Went out to the powder coaters today after him calling me and telling me that he wanted to go over the wheels with me as there were a few marks on them.

I got to the shop and he was pointing out small marks that you wouldn't likely see when standing beside the car. They were caused by out-gassing and looked like a few pieces of dust in the finish. This guy is a perfectionist and wants to redo the wheels. He'll sand down the front surface and refinish them again. They sure do look good in the powder coat chrome.

Looking froward to the first of the week.

Took them to a place closer to home Craig. The place in Thorold, Niagara Custom Powder Coating (Gord Kennedy) was recommended by a few people so I thought I'd go check them out. They do much the same stuff as Performance and are about the same cost wise. He's a nice guy and seems to be taking care of me so far. Like Performance he's crazy busy at this time of year.

Not gonna be able to pick them up Monday as I have a fence to help build so Tuesday will be the day.

It's FINISHED!  I'm so happy (and just a little proud of myself).  Full descriptive thread will follow - hopefully later today.  Meanwhile just a taste:

After the usual complications, the Solo stacked exhaust is on! I've wanted a Solo exhaust for years!!  :yay:

Still need to make a few adjustments to the exhaust and diffuser, but they should be ok for now!

Beautiful day to be topless in Illinois!
