Thanks!

I guess I have to finish before I can start packing tools.....

I want to have more than all the parts in close proximity to each other before I register. Should be a few more days.

Anybody got a 25th and 26th hour per day the can sell me? That requisition at work keeps getting turned own.

I am almost ready to think about starting.

I should plan better.

I got tools coming down with me and some skills to get it done.

So, if you think Friday has about 14 work hours in it, I'll be your extra 1 hour per day.  It will just all be on the Friday before the challenge.

Lolz?

I’ll take some of those extra hours, too.

Glad to hear the excitement, and see everyone in Gainesville. 

Since I'm 2000 miles away, are you guys going to do a live YouBoob video feed or at least a highlights video?

Now's the time for you "last minuters" to set your Marketplace search to "Lincoln Mark" and sort through to find a Lincoln Mark 8

All day they can be found for sub $3k and negotiated to sub $2k.  For that you'll do okay in the autox and a very respectable 14.9 in the drags with little to no adjustments.  

A couple of "proof" samples:

Asking $2.5k but pictures so old that you notice the early fall leaves on the ground. 

Asking $1.2k, also with leaves

Living in Chicago I'd prefer to fly to Atlanta, grab a car and drive in.  What could go wrong after that hood flies open on the highway?
