I'm on a visit to my Sister and her family (3 of 4 children + spouses, 8 grandchildren) in the Penfield area, then (via Redding X) to Cincinnati for my Godmother's 90th Birthday, then to St. Pete, FL for my nephew's Birthdays...

Flying back to Portland, returning to FL in mid-July to recover the SVX and drive back North in time to pick my wife up at the Indianapolis Airport & then attend my 40th Chaminade High School Reunion. A trip over to Rushford Lake (back in NY State) for a week of hot August fun with my Greatneices & nephews, then drop her off back at Indy and return in the SVX to Oregon.

Quite the summer trip: will be much more enjoyable than last year in a Ryder van at $4.50 a gallon for regular!

Quick pic of the two SVXs being put away for the night, at about 3:00AM. (The lift is on safety locks, so no worries :) )


More progress last night. The motor is nearing completion. I am a timing belt (& covers) and intake away from it being ready to drop in. :D

My reading list continues to grow. I have been cleaning the engine for a couple of hours a day for the last week, and I still can't get it looking nice. It's almost overwhelming.

I changed the oil today and had the car safety inspected, though.

I'm still not sold on bringing the car to Reading. Its condition is kind of embarrassing to me. I may show up in my daily.
