I'll rent the backhoe.

I've dug a hole at Charlies place before, I don't think we've had enough rain that I want to try it again.

I'm sure I could get my brother to arrange for a fleet of 637 push/pulls off the Irving lot to be delivered....We'll just re-landscape the whole plot...dig our own "custom" fire pit, build an off-road obstacle course, throw in this pool Mike speaks of, and still leave a nice foundation for that new shop Charlie's installing..

Been testing the EZ vs. Smarty. Forgot how different they are!! Example - with TST Comp on #4 and EZ on mild.... NO SMOKE with Trixie & Bubbles! (Doesn't everyone name their twins?)
Still takes a lot more throttle to get moving but it does seem to pull harder once boost kicks in (like you said, Charlie). Interesting difference.

Ug well I'm supposed to be going to pick up my head today.... Talked to Ray at RayMacs yesterday and he fed me some BS about the races this weekend and him having people stop by all day long needing help with this and that... I explained to him how I really didn't give a and that my stuff was supposed to be finished... My stuff has been there for 2 weeks now and I want my truck back, regardless of who showed up on your doorstep...

I uderstand things happen and get people sidetracked, but I'm a paying customer and was promised my head to be done Thurs night... oh ya was also promised wed, tues, and mon

So I'd say when it would be done, but in all honesty I have no idea... ticks me off...

ok Rant off
On the up note, I know they are doing good work and the head when I recieve it is going to be right... Head is going to be just about brand new when I recieve it... New guides, springs, valve cut, rings, gasket, decked, etc.... Still something to look forward to...

I have found that "specialty" shops nearly always have the problems with service that you describe. Too bad.

Trixie and bubbles? Couldn't you have picked a more manly name for your twins?

How about Mutt and Jeff? One big and one little........
