Roger was kind enough to move a restoration back on one of his cars so they could get me back on the road.

Thats great, Stick.
How long do you think it will take to get it back in the car?

If thats not rude.

Well, if they can pay things off and slow down a bit when young, even better.

Book says 5 hours out, 5 hours back in.

Not sure yet how long to get the head work done.

Also deciding if I want to have the intake and cam covers refinished, media striped and re-powder coated.

[porsche4life]

Thats their plan. They should have the house, 10acres and all the shop buildings paid for inside of 5 years. When the M and the red truck sell vehicle payments will be gone. Then the only debt would be if the company buys a new truck, but that would be to replace two we are using currently, and we are looking at selling another, so that would be 3 insurance payments turned into 1.....

See you all in a few days.
Have a great week.

While that would be nice, I'd rather then enjoy it. I figure I won't do too bad when I get out of school. And I stand to inherit a nice bit of land from them, and there is some family land, that I figure will be split between me and my cousin. Theres just the two of us grand kids on that side.

Heya all

Big day. Moved the 944 today - parts still not here. Discovered a few more bits and pieces I need to order for the restoration while putting her back together (partially) this morning. Oh well, it's only money

Grand daughter has come over to play

No chance naming any offspring after you lot Rick. Took to myself with a blunt butter knife a couple of years back - irreparable damage

Nice dave, I hope this is the start of many 'Slodaves' to come. I may be up for one myself one day.

And hangover cure of the day is...... Superspicy Thai Green Curry Chicken & rice!
With good extra benefit , burns up whatever was left of that cold/flu

[RKDinOKC]

You euro guys seem to like that indian and thai curry stuff like we like the jalapeņo and cayenne mexican stuff.

[svandamme]

well, it just goes well with beer and beer recovery.

Mexican, not that much into beans myself..

Morning Y'all

I wish you luck. Way cool, Dave the guitar builder. That almost sounds like a line of children's cartoons.
