Andy, your pictures are getting fuzzier. Or it's the Stoli.

Well my night is going to be like last night. I'm at work and we have a 8 story cold storage building that was built in 1907 on fire (burning for day 3 now). Just got back from it. Had a shower, changed clothes and a bite to eat. Waiting for the gong to go and we will be back at it all night. Just think, I could/should be in MI........

Came back from seeing the Manchurian Candidate 'bout 6:30 & started on the new air cleaner retro-fit. Wanted to get the oil changed too before AX on Sunday. Got the air cleaner done & started the teener. Messin around with the idle & ECU when I thought I detected a knock.
SHIT!

So I gave up for the night & finished watching Harry Potter. I'll go out in the morning & fire it up to see if I was just tired or if the knock is really there...

rum-n-coke with meyers rum (also called cuba-libre)
the cigar was a monte cristo.

here's a hint on how-to get them into the country:

go somewhere where it's not illegal to buy them (anywhere except the US),
buy a case. also buy a case of cheap-a$$ cigars. switch labels.
send them to yourself in a package.

Suffering from 914 withdrawl - HPH is doing its usual magic - Brad will shortly publish a lessons learned on Ol' Yeller. Can't wait for the "new" early Fuchs and ES100's and I'll be out there with you guys on the autox course!

Off from work today. Fun time at Wheel Works today; new tires for the wife's wagon; they managed to scratch one of the alloy rims - luckily they admitted it and will pay for repair. Took so long for the tires to be mounted and the front end alignment (another story) I went to the movies nearby - saw "Collateral" - GREAT flick. First time I've seen Tom Cruise as a bad guy - great job, all the others were good too. Director (Michael Mann) was same guy that did "Heat", one of my other favorites.

Now I'm watching Travel Channel about Cancun hotels, sipping my single malt and eating lo-cal (sure) mexican food! Don't forget to Tivo the Porsche show on History Channel tomorrow am!

It's already Saturday night here, but I spent my Friday night bouncing up and down to the sound of http://www.ecmband.com in a smoky pub.

Then dragged my sorry arse out of bed at 5am to be at work at 6.

mmmm... monte cristo. nice choice. i tell you, the rum-n-coke on ice looks mighty good.

you are obviously a man of very refined tastes. you should come up to seattle and go to the WINGDOME with dino, me, and some of the boys!

Posted by: Headrage Aug 7 2004, 08:38 AM

Just checking to see how youre feeling taday after the meyers last night

Posted by: SirAndy Aug 7 2004, 09:20 AM

thanks for checking! feeling good ...

years of senseless alcohol abuse don't go unnoticed

on my way to the colo for some heavy work, if i hurry i might be able to watch some AX this afternoon.
Andy

i'd like to. i might just take you up on that offer.

never been to seattle (or WA for that matter).
i hear is pretty pretty up there, rumor has it the grass up there is green and not brown like around here!?
Andy

Posted by: red914 Aug 7 2004, 10:06 AM

well,, mostly. we grow sissy grass up here. we just had a couple weeks of sunshine, and most yards are a bit on the brown side. everything else is green, though, including some roofs and parked cars (from the moss!). not something you see down in california.

is moss a rust inhibitor i wonder

You titled the thread, "Friday night and life is guud".


Man you got that right. Cigar looked great and that coffee cup with the rum looks like you could put wheels on it and haul back their surplus of some good 914 parts if you ever get there to Washington. I won't mention what this 68 year old teener did on Friday night. May make some older people want to know my 914 excercise plan. Don't lose weight but talk about fun.....


tired!!!!

Friday night and I was pulling a 3.2 engine out of a 9146 race car and installing a front sway bar into a 914 that didnt have one. Got home at midnight after being at the shop since 7:45 am. I was beat.

Andy, an evening with a drink and a cigar, yes, that would be a great time.

My preference is a Merlot or Cabernet and a Monte Cristo or a Romeo-N-Juliet, ChurchHill-sized.

Since I live in the 'cigar capital' of the US, our choices are varied.

I've attended several special events (wedding, company Christmas party) and one of the featured attractions were several cigar rollers. They rolled the cigars right in front of you. There's nothing better then a freshly rolled cigar.

Now's the time to open the humidor, 'bullet' the cigar, grap a glass of wine and sit our by the pool. This is a view from my backyard deck. That's the 14th hole tee, par-3, over a small pond. It's very entertaining watching the golfers. I didn't realize that a par-3 meant you get 3 shots from the tee. (hahahahahahaha)

Hey Rob,

Do you have a room to rent ?? I build 914's and do some computer work. I also clean pools and wipe screened porches down.

Spent my friday night getting my stolen truck back and storing it, this happens right after my back-cracker appointment.

Spent my saturday night cleaning up the mess in my truck, putting out a wiring fire that spontaneously occoured and cleaning some more.
Also worked on the 914 and got it to run!!! Also had her interior polished.

Its now Sunday morning and i'm going to bed. Maybe Sunday night I will have my smoke and a drink .

Posted by: GWN7 Aug 8 2004, 06:13 AM

You got it back? Where? How? Who? Inquireing minds want to know? congrats
