SA-WEEEEET Ken! Can't wait to see it, hear it (and maybe feel it from the passenger seat :D ) at the Roost! :D

[Carnivalride]

Looks good Ken will it be dialed in and ready to run at the roost? What are you expecting/hoping it to run like?
Still hoping to meet everyone at the roost. :smile:

[Ken F]

Carnival,
You BET it will be dialed in by Roost time! I'm hoping to get barely into the tripple digits.
I'm really looking forward to meeting you too! Can't wait!!!!!

Loren,
Dont' sweat it. Ruggs has a shop about 1/4 mile from where we are having the roost,and usually gets it cleaned out beforehand just incase we need to work on some boats! lol Last year it was mine.
I'm more than happy to help you if you need it!

Yep, we were kinda doin' the hurry-up hustle weren't we Ken? :D New stud girdle, new rocker studs, makin' the drive into Arkansas and tryin' to get a cell phone signal so we could track down the Ford starter, then doin' the shake down run right at dark thirty!http://www.conservationcafe.com/graemlins/yes.gif

Finished the short block lastnight and moving on to the heads tonight. My 11yr olds state tournament is going to get in the way this weekend it's out of town.
Who's bringing kids to the roost and what ages? My 16yr old son is coming for sure and my 11yr old isn't sure (he wants to know about kids his age).
Thanks,
Loren

Well, it looks like I won't be having kids or the wife this time. :( Melissa can't get the time off from work.
And.......... I'm really hoping the grandbaby gets here quick. He was due 3 days ago. If he doesn't get here soon, meaning by at least Wednesday, I'll have to cancel. :( :(
She has a doctor's appointment this morning and she's going to try talking the doctor into keeping her and inducing labor.

No kids in our group, we are all kidless for the roost
