Default It's ALIVE again!!

Guys, I'm a happy dude today. At 3:15 I turned the key on ol' LOVE and she fired right up after being apart for 6 months. Sure sounded healthy! I had to shut it down after blipping it a couple of time and wathcing the oil pressure, cause there's no collant in it yet. I'll do that tomorrow. Oh, and I guess I need to put the exhaust system back on too! Glenn

No I'm in Park City Utah today...... about 2367 miles away...... I did say "in the distance" though.

Start it up tomorrow and I'll see if I can hear it from my California house...... I'll be out by the pool with the cocktail about 2 PM
