(Andrew) Fish and (Joey) Pants, this is no small role. You guys are helping to consummate the whole damn deal. Please do not downplay that. No, no... I know that many of us (me for one) would love to be in your shoes. We can all almost taste the anticipation!

There's no doubt in my mind that there will be some small hiccups tomorrow, but likewise I am equally confident that this is going to be "one of those days" that you (and we) will remember for ever.

Have fun boys!!

And get us some good ******' pictures will ya?

I was reluctant to let this out but the poor GMC was hurt. I T-boned a car on my way to work almost a month ago. 3:45 am, girl runs red light, can't get that much weight stopped in time, it was ugly. I did my best, the ABS was fully engaged, there was nowhere to go. The GMC was in the body shop for 2 weeks. I was quite worried at the time that Isabella would get ready and I would not have my truck to go get her.

Fortunately, the truck is back, seems to be healthy and all is well. The video tape from the traffic camera showed the other vehicle 100% at fault (and a damned liar). The GMC is ready to go. I will not be so foolish as to say it will not break down and leave us walking but the odds are in my favor.

Zilla has once again hurt my feelings by dredging up painful memories. I will probably not be able to sleep tonight due to Zilla's heartless and cruel jokes. (Just in case, I will wear comfy shoes though)

 
Maybe those dam camera's are good for something after all !

things are looking way up...I got 12 hrs of restfull sleep, actually at a normal time 10am-10pm, and woke up with a very positive outlook on life. Then my big bro took me to lunch to Spitali's Deli for a oyster po-boy.

Mike, if you are able to sleep well on Thursday night then there is something very wrong with you. I know that I wouldn't be able to sleep a wink.

Good Luck on Friday boys.

And we want pitchers. Lots and lots of pitchers.

(Don't forget to get one of Aaron before you leave with the bike. I'm dying to see what this cat looks like)
all is looking up...and I won't be the photographer, so don't blame me

Seriously, I am looking forward to this as well. With all of the generosity this forum has shown over the last couple months I am happy to be playing a small role in all of it.
the bike would still be sitting in my garage with me still on the ledge otherwise...and I'm not kidding

... being driven by a semi-sane idiot with no attention span?
You're letting Mike drive the truck????
bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...ah, hum, well, huuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrph

And you boys are going in a Chevy. Better take your walking shoes.
I have the advantage, at least coming home, with the "only" reliable vehicle, if needed

It IS a good feeling when you get your ride back thanks to good peeps. Like Fairlaner and FjRay when Krzy8 needed a heart transplant. Go get Izabella, boyz!

 
Look Mike, it's been a little while, you're excited and all, but you need to remember a few things.

A. Foreplay is important. Don't just jump on and start going at it, relax, talk to her, warm her up a little, get to know her again, start off slow.... then faster...

B. Protection is important. Oh sure, you think she's the girl you've always known, but she's been away. She's got a little strange DNA going on now, you need to respect that, but it's the whole trust, but verify deal going on here. You don't know how she's going to respond. Most likely just like before... but don't count on that. Be careful, be cautious, be respectful of what she has to offer. Take it in stages, but never, ever, slack off on your protection, because she'll bite your ass as soon as you stop paying attention. She's got a new heart and is going to be frisky, so watch your ass!

 
True!

KrZy8's transplanted engine is very different than oem. Amazingly and surprisingly so. Vibrations at different rpm ranges, slightly stronger down low while torquing, and biggest delta is the mid to top curve.

I'm curious to see what Mike reports out.

Great advice, OC!

Ain't that always the way it goes OC? :)))

Zilla was spending too much time picking up Joe's DRZ out of the sand to bully anyone when I was with him in Moab. Jus sayin'.
