Oh Man, sounds like you got some nice new toys
there.

I know what you mean about living forever.  I
have all of the parts I have dreamed of all of my
life to build all the toys that I've ever wanted.
 Now if I just live long enough to start playing
with them.  I told my boss yesterday that I was
planning on dropping to three days a week in
February 2003.  That gives her one budget cycle
to add a part-time position to the staffing.  If
she doesn't get that done, then I drop on no days
and re-re-retire.  Actually, that would be
re-re-re-retire.  I've earned four pensions.  All
combined, enough to buy a case of diet root beer,
 a set of pistons, three tires (used), and a
carburetor rebuild kit every other month!  ha ha

Will be running the Camaro at Maxton weekend
after next, and picking up the new Monza two
weeks after that (mama gets a trip on the
in-between weekend).  I can't believe I'm gonna
build a Monza.  I smash eight knuckles per day
trying to work in a Camaro!  A Monza oughta be
really snug!  Not only that, I keep thinking
about your past projects, and I wonder how a
hemi-powered Monza would do!  I mean, that 354
ain't but about a foot wider than a SBC!  tsk tsk
tsk
