Now I haven't signed up yet. I left the task to my better half. I know some of you think the Alien is just a photo shop trick. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/assimilate.gif) I mean it's been off the road so long with engine troubles. Really, it's real. Well, I'm getting closer to having an engine. I'm working on a big parts order now. My work flow has slowed for now. So with any luck I will have an engine with in two weeks. Kelly is being a whimp and told me he's not going. (Hi Kelly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif) )

So who's going? Sandy and I talked about leaving Wednesday after work and driving straight through. Maybe leave wednesday afternoon. We could stop about 8-9 pm and get a hotel room around Champaign IL. Then start again in the morning. Something like that..

Very likely the Mother Ship with the recovery unit. (trailer) Weather that time of year is very unpredictable.

Bruce? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Is Bruce coming? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

It would be So RIGHT to take its picture in front of the Shuttle or the Saturn V.

Hi Rick,

I'm glad to see you are getting parts together for the Alien. I suppose the price of the parts isn't so bad but the cost of shipping from outer space must be killing you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I'd like to cruise down there with you and Sandy.

I bet the combined HP of our two cars will equal that of 9 stock 2.0 914's! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Let me know if I can buzz up to Duluth to help in any way. Actually, I'm just trying to invite myself over to see the inner workings of your top secret alien technology. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Driving down to RRC together will no doubt look like "Ebony & Ivory".

I'll let you know. Not much to see though. my garages are trashed. I get a couple minutes to start a project and then have to leave it lay for another. I'm starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel and I'm hoping it's not a train. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

We'll be setting off car alarms for blocks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Or a Tuxedo, High class hot rods for sure.

That reminds me of the most famous Mid US Ramble quote ever...

"But I thought cops liked donuts!" (after the local police stopped a rambler who was doing donuts in a gas station parking lot)

Anyone seen that man lately?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I saw him at the first AX this year, but not since. I guess he has been busy.

I just came in from the opporating room. I now have all my block studs reinstalled. I hope to put the crank in the block before the weekend. I still don't have all my pistons.

Chappy, Brad Penn? I will need to get some anyway. I don't think I'm going to be down in the metro any time soon. But thanks buddy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)
