I'm about to go off the deep end on Barbecue Bob again. Gregg called to tell me that one of the guys he’s working with has a pair or 305 Chevy engines he wants to be rid of. One is complete and assembled but has low to no compression. The other is disassembled but has all good parts, apparently. The guy wants $175.00 for both so Gregg jumped on them for me. The guy also has a “rock crusher” four-speed we think. I'll probably go with that as well. I mean really, four speeds should suffice in a car that light with an engine having a wide enough power band. It’s not like we’re building a rotary fer cryin’ out loud! So, I guess Barbecue Bob is going to cut in line ahead of the Chickenhawk once again. I still need to get George up and running first of course. He’s not that far away if I remember correctly. It seems like I just need to get off my ass and finish it up. Motivation has been my problem, well, lack thereof I suppose. Yep, an air-conditioned shop sure would go a long way towards finishing up a bunch of projects. Hell, just having the shop in closer proximity to my domicile would help quite a bit. I suppose having it in closer proximity to John's domicile might motivate him to motivate me more as well, but we won’t go there. Ok, so me not acquiring any more projects, like Fifi and Stinky for example, would help even more in getting existing projects finished, but we REALLY won’t go there! I just called Marty Smith to make sure we’re on the schedule for the lift at GDRA Saturday morning. Yeah, for Fifi, shut up. I expect he’ll call me back when he’s on his way home from work tonight. I don’t think he’s allowed to have his phone on while working, what with his top-secret gubment job and all. I sure hope I don’t get him put on any list by mentioning his name in here. I don’t even know what it is he does actually. I think it has something to do with XXXXXXXXX XX XXX XXXXXXXXX XX XXXXXXXXX XX XXXXXXX XXX XXXXXXXX XX XXX XXXXXXXXX XX XXXXXXXXX XX XXXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. But I could be wrong. I guess if the gubment hacks in and edits this after Spiderman posts it, we’ll know I was close. Well, I guess I need to go see what these guys in the suits and sunglasses want. I'll talk to y'all again tomorrow.
