Thursday was a wash as I spent all morning at the dentist. I spent the rest of the afternoon running errands before rendezvousing with other like-minded car nuts for Happy Hour and dinner; therefore, #0777 was ignored all day the day after its glamour shoot.
Yesterday was tax prep day. Somebody will have to explain to me why it takes six hours for me to prepare my tax information for the accountant in order for him to prepare my taxes. It’s just as well because it was too damn windy here to have the garage door open. Wind gusts up to 60 mph reported in our area, but mostly they were between 25 and 40 miles per hour. I did manage to order all the parts for the cooling system last night, along with a few other bits and bobs.
This morning I had just enough time to get #0777 back up on jacks before leaving for my “real job.” Maybe tomorrow I’ll have chance to pull the starter (again) and do a proper paint job on the starter case. I need to concentrate on getting the starter squared away first, including installing the new starter cable, then install the new exhaust system and finally overhaul the cooling system when the parts get here in a few days. This all needs doing before the first fun run in just over a month’s time, but hopefully sooner as we start getting some really nice driving weather in March, not that you could tell over the past couple of days. In like a lion, out like a lamb. FIngers crossed.
