Weird about the tranny. I don't know what to do about it. Maybe I will try synthetic in another 30K.
Valves change with mileage, not time.

Stopped in to see the racecar. Engine is in and running. Helped put the rear axle in. Car should be on wheels by the end of the weekend. Body panels are next.

Completed 30K miles on the Si today

Drove the backroads of Rensselaer & Columbia counties and I could not believe how many BMW 1 series I saw out there during this drive. I counted 6 different 1 series cars out and about having never seen any of them in those numbers before today. Is BMW selling the car dirt cheap or something for people to be buying them up.

In Hudson NY, I spied with my eye an Aston Martin V8 Vantage, a brand new XK Convertible (not as hot as the coupe but still plenty sexy), and two E36 M3's in flawless condition and two P-cars one Boxster and a 996 Cabriolet with hardtop.

I guess I will stop worrying about it This car seems to be a little late (6300/6500) to hit VTEC, and it does not always feel as "strong" as my other two cars did. I was thinking a valve adjustment might help with those issues.

Been up as long as Levy today, Tom's alarm went off at 2:55. I could not get back to sleep. Been up doing marketing since then. I'm either going to get no new business at all, OR, I will end up with 8 people wanting projects done by Tuesday

I will be in all day meetings all week starting tomorrow. Life is gonna be fun

I tried fighting sleep last night after two consecutive days of sleeping at midnight and rising at 4:30 am. I crashed and slept rather fitfully around 11 last night.

I'm ready for a nap, been a LONG day of mostly chores. Only 2 hours of fun/driving. Dishes, laundry, vacuuming, grocery shopping - my life is SO exciting.
