btw insomniac, I grew up in Modesto lol, I miss cruzing McHenry, ah the good ol'days.
It's still the same as you left it, but they banned cruising on McHenry, which is ironic since they put up a sculpture in homage to American Graffiti.

^ That's disgusting. In other news I have successfully mated with my little sister's guinea pigs. Can't wait for the kids to be born.

Tournapart did you ever get your RPF1s on?

sounds good, my shop is only about a 1/4 mile from the strip(about as close as you can get automotive shop wise) so there's no real good reason not to stop by.

my new number is 702-277-9846, gonna get rid of the old phone soon.

Awesome, I'll try to stop by for sure. We are going for a Piano Technicians Guild National Conference and I believe it's at Bally's.

Pulling my old GSL-SE engine apart going to use the internals to make a few clocks I think. Got stuck at the Rotary Flywheel Nut of Doom. Waiting to hear from a friend to see if he's got the socket. DOH!

Put chisel against nut so it will push in the CCW direction. Hammer at it. Kinda like a poor mans impact gun.
