Geez, and I thought *I* had a lot to do! Now I don't feel so bad. I decided to
build my engine from the top down, so I now have the head back on, all torqued,
ready for the chain. Carb is back on, some of the mess of hoses are reconnected.
Modified the radiator for the body lift. Doing a spring-over on my trailer too.

As Bud says, we're tentatively planning to meet at around noon in Scranton, then
head south from there. We have all arranged for a place to stay in Baltimore,
does this work for you?

Me too. I'd really like to have a few days to drive this thing before I drive it
this far. 10 hours? Doesn't sound like we're gonna be able to keep up with you,
I think it's a lot farther than that. Must be that Supra engine.  ;-)
