Ugh... Today has officially pissed me off. I got called into the boss' office a little bit ago.

"So... since the departure date for your China trip is in flux... we may need you to go to India beforehand and do some control system tuning..."

morning all...just a few more weeks and the msm goes to bed for the winter...sad...didn't get as much done as i would have like this season, did get to a couple of great race tracks and spend time with the mazda family! i'll probably do a few more mods before the real cold sets in...i do have a propane heater i bought for my p5 "turbo install this weekend" project!

on the house front - the buyers of our house have until the 1st of next month. if they can't sell their house we've decided will sit on ours till spring, if by then they haven't sold it will list it and go from there. i'm optimistic that theirs will sell eventually (before spring).

josh good luck on the sale...hate to see her go, but it looks like a miata might be in your future??? cool beans!
have a great day all!

Drove my MSM today. It's acting funny. I really do think that I'm going to be pulling the head next spring and doing some work to it. So... may as well build upon it. Maybe to a multi-angle valve job, port and polish, valve springs... Yep. Why not?
 
Morning gang!

Josh - saw the link and wish it was within my budget. Looking to acquire a Miata next summer but would happily 'settle' for owning your car. GL with the sale and I forwarded it to a co-worker who has been thinking of one.

Mark - sux you might have to sit on the house until Spring but you and Robin have a good plan going forward. Really hope that the buyers can sell well before then!

Stephen - ouch, that really sux about your potential sidetrack stop to China. Maybe India has decent golf courses?
 
Ashley, I did the survery. Not sure if the network let the response thru or not. Lemme know if it didn't
 
Someone put me outta my misery, the Yanks are killing me nightly!

In other news, I may be starting a new job at Kia of Cape Cod in sales.
I accepted our synagogue's offer to join the board of trustees. I'm now the building committee chair and the plumbing and electrical promptly go haywire.
Aaaannnndddd....
The CX7 threw a CEL for the EGR! (I'm still only halfway through the brake job, Oye!)

Going to Brooklyn in a week too
 
Completed my fastest 10+ mile ride on the new mountain bike today. I did the same loop a month ago on the old bike. This time around I'm 0.5mph quicker and finished 6 minutes sooner. I might have done better if the trails weren't covered in leaves. I didn't have to push hard for the improved time...so it really is a gain from the bike and not my own fitness. However, a 7.9mph average is close to some of the pro XC riders that frequent the trails.

Heading out to San Fransico next week for my company's annual meeting. Not really looking forward to it. I fly in Sunday, 2 days of training and socializing with people I don't know, then I fly home Wednesday. No time to myself really. They have lunches and dinners planned and everything.

The MS6 is overdue for an oil change. I was thinking of just doing it myself but I don't have time. I've sent out about 10 emails to various REPU owners trying to track down some OEM front coil springs. All I've found were some already cut springs with an unknown drop. I'm ready to order the wheels, I just have to get approval from the wife and make sure the funds are available.

I just ordered a generator for the house $2,300/installed. It will have a 10 circuit switchover panel. I opted for a portable gas unit 7,500 watts. Idealy I'd want a propane standby hooked into our propane tank but that was almost $7,000. It's just not worth it for the amount of use it will get....but we need something since we don't have heat or water without power, not even a fireplace.

Whatever, I think this series is going great. If they beat the Yankees, the Yankees lose (always a good thing), then the Tigers will also lose because at the end of the day, they're still in Detroit. That's never a win ;)
