1) picked up my stripped and repainted hood at Peformance Restorations in Mundiline Illinois
2) Pulled rear wheels, checked rear pad clearance (i installed them last weekend) and bleed / purged brake fluid.
3) pulled front tires, bleed brakes / purged fluid, re-set bearings on Drivers side (also new last weekend)
4) re-installed hood (matches very very well)

Went on ~ 20 min drive at 0-90mph to test out new tires (Azines), brakes and rotors (914ltd), hood, etc.

I LOVE MY CAR MAN! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Now, I may drive up to Ellcart Lake and watch porsche club racing tomorrow. Next AutoX is Sept 19th in Maywood.

What are your plans?

Oh yes, just to plug all the suppliers - I got the power bleeder from Pelican parts and as you all told me on this site:

That is the only way to bleed brakes!

I fixed the headlights in a 95 993 Vert. I wired up the guy's GPS to ignition switched power.. I installed rear wheel spacers. I fixed a Mitchell estimating issue on a Body shop's computer.. I sat in traffic on the way home. I stopped by Albertsons to grab some peanut butter and shampoo.

The real work starts tomorrow.

Wife and I went to Santa Cruz, drank beer and ate calamari at the Crows nest, watched the sail boats cruise in and out of the harbor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

i worked on the puter all day, creating a program that automatically generates monthly invoices based on the customers activities using a ms-word template with our logo and stuff.
started around 10am and got it running right about 1/2 an hour ago ...

which means i can now run monthly billing with 1 single mouseclick!

I worked on a Solaris custom Jumpstart server all day until 6. Had dinner with my wife, watched a little tube, and then dicked around on the 914club server for a couple of hours. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

We had a scheduled outage at work to power cycle 30 FC san switches and all of the servers attached to them for Sunday at 01:00 a.m. I hadn't made any plans for the weekend as a result. It got cancelled! Now I have a 3 day weekend and don't have work more then 30 minutes.

I'm getting old. And the club site is THAT wonderful, of course!

I had work tonight and then I decided to catch up on sleep. Only problem is, I wasn't tired enough.

Hey, I'm getting up there. I'm almost halfway up the hill!

Dad's off in Tahoe for the weekend. I'm stuck here. Working and schooling. I'm not bitter. <_<

I got up, loaded the truck and drove to my US address and mailed a bunch of stuff. Almost 6 hrs later I got home and started to gather tools to take up to the farm for Sunday.

Construction day up there if I can get to the house (another rain storm dumped here). Two new windows going in and starting to build a shed, 16' X 20' which will be a guest cottage someday.

Tomorrow, replacing the throttle cable on the boys 914 (if it's not raining again) and taking it for a drive while he's at work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Buying lumber for the farm. Then I'm making Marguritas..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
