I was in the 8th grade when my dad and mom did the big D word.

My step mom is 55 and my dad is 73. Thirty yrs ago he was like the :bunny: after the tail. Now he is the turtle chasing the :chick:

I talked with Keith sat. and they will not be testing this weekend. Parts are in but have to be put back on and set-up. Maybe next weekend will be the one...:frog:

They got a new dual pyrometer in and it didn't fix the problem. They found out that they had sent the wrong style of thermocouple wire with the kit.
Anyway the pryrometer is working and Keith is going to Charlotte in the morning to do more water testing.
Everybody keep their fingers crosssed in hopes of the ECMs will be right.
Maybe we will have a winner by the end of the week and we can put this contest to bed
:crazy:
Keith said he would call me tomorrow for an update. As soon as I hear anything I'll let you all know, Mike.
