I'm a fan of Jamaican Rums, but not sure about one made in London... So I sez to myself, give it to Mikey, he hates everything...

Actually Pete has great taste so I'm intrigued... I'ma getting some when I get off this rig and see how it is...

I drink hard likker maybe twice a year, unless I have a dam fine reason!

Got punched in the kidney, so figured I'd give it a break and let my liver process the liquids for a couple days.
Don't know if it worked, but the kidney quit hurting for a few hours.......

Thanks Kurt,

I'm offshore for the next week or so then home for a short while... Not sure how long... Hopefully we get the tuning and a few other things done and I get to have some road time... It's been a while....

Hope things are going well in your world...

Robert

So I am at home and not for the best of reasons, but in an effort to keep my sanity I have been getting some things done at the shop... Corey and I started on the exhaust.. This is stainless tubing, 3.5 inches in diameter...

We have built the X pipe from two 90 degree bends and will continue when time or king on other cars allows.

Hey Robert, why is your oil pressure pegged at idle? What kind of system are you running?

That was the first start up on the dry sump system. There is a pressure regulator built Into the pump. We dialed it back soon after that video was taken. I don't remember at the moment where it is exactly but I think it's around 35 at idle and 45 at 5500 rpm... We will adjust it further as needed when we do the serious tuning...

Hey all...

Just a bit of info... My dad is in hospice care after three strokes in a little over two months. Always hug loved ones as you never know if/when you'll see them again. The photo is my dad just before he left the rehabilitation hospital after the second stroke. This man was a picture of health his entire life and has never needed to take medications, for anything...
