I've got nothing. It is 1400 h and I'm just now sitting down to talk to y'all. Oh, I did get my parking brake cable for Mr. Wiggly yesterday. If John and I go to the shop tonight I'm going to install it. Huzzah! Perhaps I'll even get some more work done on George. Yeah, probably not, we’ll see. Mom asked that I plan to only bring the Seven to the church for the Halloween thing Tuesday night. I told her I had pretty much come to that decision myself but didn’t tell her why. The dual exhaust and Vector wheels don’t really say MIB vehicle. Besides, I haven’t made a dead alien or rounded up a black suit. So, I'll be sitting with the Seven in coveralls and my helmet passing out candy as a racecar driver. Woo hoo! I wonder if I should put some numbers on the thing. No, probably not. I should have bought a Theremin to play while hanging out. Oh well, too late now. Besides shipping time and time to learn how to play it, I'm broke and can’t afford one at the moment. The LOG two weeks ago really sucked the old bank account dry. Oh well, what are you going to do? I think I'm going to consider Mr. Wiggly “done” when I have the parking brake and charging systems fixed. I use quotes because I mean, “done for the time being” not “done with everything I'm ever going to do to it.” I may take John's advice and step up the pipes and tips on the zorst to tame the buzzy-ness, and I may squirt on a coat of sparkly paint at some point, but for this iteration I'm “done.” Well, when the aforementioned parking brake and charging systems are fixed of course. Have I mentioned the paint scheme I'm considering? I'd like to paint it some garishly bright color, most likely tangerine orange, with tons of metal flake like a bass boat. Maybe even using gold metal flake! Can you say Pimpmobile II? Oh yeah! I'd have to finish out the interior with angel hair and dingle balls too. Ok, perhaps not. We’ll see. Well, I'm getting pretty sleepy right about now. I think I'm going to shut my eyes for a bit. I don’t think I'll be back to talk to y’all anymore today. Later.
