The @#$@#@!#$%! didn't show again. Then another contractor called me today asking if he could come by at 3:30pm. He said he would leave a quote under the front door mat. Of course he didn't show. What in the $@#$!@#$ @#$@#$ @#$@#$ is up with these people? Do they all have so much damn work that they come and go as they please. What a pain in the @#$@#$@#$@#$

Whew - sounds like you had a long weekend!
We got in at 4a.m today and emptied the truck out - hit the pillows by 5
I was dead tired (still am) but I suppose that sleep is over rated anyways...
re: your driveway - my Father-in-law has a neighbor who does concrete work - he was happy with his driveway...
Ask for the contact info if you are at wits end

max power is still 407. The car still hunts for the idle sometimes. John said it's hard to tune/set the idle with the large cam I have using LT1edit/LS1 edit. The new tuning setup he is buying will fix the issue. Should be ready to go in a few months.
