I've got a bunch of stuff going on mostly work related that keeps me on the run alot, haven't kept up with the board as much as I like, but here is an update.
--motors are about done. when we broke them open is was not pretty. corrosion on cylinder walls and heads. we have rebored/replaced pistons etc etc etc I will save til later the full discussion and post pics. for the time being I'm glad SM manifolds are going on the motors.
--we matched he Imron and the cosmetic work is about done.
--trailer rehab is about complete. it didn't really need anything...but it got new bearings/spindles all around anyway. cheap insurance.
--plan on heading up to NH to pick up the boat on or about 26 May. turn around for AOTH, 29-31.
--back to work 3 Jun, check out of HMX end of that week. pack up household goods/ship. check in to new command in NORFOLK VA 16 June. looking for a house down there presently. very excited about the move. will be sad to leave this job, but it will be nice to have a semblance of a personal life again. I will be giggling like a little kid when I get to turn in my pager, which has been on me 24/7 for 4 yrs.
--I will take leave in July. Should be able to make 1k islands still, as well as Winni Poker run. Followed shortly by HRPA event eary August.
--looking forward to a great Summer!
