Today executed a perfect and complete flame-out from start to finish. The events therein absolutely sucked vomit through a sock. My experience at the office today, in which I was forced to stay several hours late, epitomized what happens when too many people get too nitpicky about too many things for their own good. If [...]

Starting in just under an hour, I begin a day and a half of “free time off” from the office. I’m not really clamoring for a day off—although it is going to help me get some stuff done that I couldn’t ordinarily do—but if I didn’t take this time off by the end of the [...]

The good news of the day is that I finally ordered the Gale Banks cat-back exhaust system I was wanting for the Formula. I actually snagged a great price on it. Engine Technologies in Utah sold it to me for $304 shipped, which is great considering this is an all-stainless system and one [...]

“Here, hold my beer while I answer the phone.”
