We went to the shop last night. John got his 510 going again while I got all of the lug nuts cut and ready for Mr. Wiggly. John Ullom came by because he has the hots for a turbo Datsun and the other John told him of Gigi and Herman. They were too rough for his liking so I turned his attention to George. It was also too rough. He won’t be buying a 1200 from me I guess. Oh well. We all hung out for a bit then went to Chili’s for dinner. The chrome valve cover for Mr. Wiggly arrived but I didn’t even try to install it. I did finally measure those wheels as well. They are 15” diameter but they are not 10” wide. I'm not sure where that number originally came from, but they are “only” 8.5” wide. We discussed it some and decided 255/60-15s were the size to have. Of course I totally forgot to look at prices when I was on the internot earlier. I'll do that when I send this off to Spiderman. I might even buy a set from Summit while I'm at it. No, I'll probably wait and do it at the Boys of Pep Saturday after the track thing in Miserable Smells. Then again I might go to the Saturday afternoon and evening events at the Lotus thing. Juan never knows. I did see a prediction of rain for Saturday though. That would suck. I guess I'd drive Matilda to the Datsun track thing then. We’ll see. Well, I'm bored with this already. I don’t even feel like boring y’all with Theremin talk. I've got “short time syndrome” pretty bad because I'm taking the next three days off. Perhaps a nap will help. Yeah, I'm going to call this week’s ranting complete. I may report in while “vacationing” and I may not. I will definitely have stuff to say next Wednesday. Buh bye.
