Can't wait for April!

I'm talking about my crew guy Fred, Fred Slap Head

And I'm sure Moe will be more than up to the task of making my cooler look like unsoaped Mickeys that sat for a couple of weeks.......

TTT

I heard a rumor ... Eek
Moe Nasty ... Pppfftttt from the N.Westie part .. err .. well you do travel quite a bit ... Big Grin

I would post more often , but I'm too mentally unstable and have fell into this slumber .
I go off on these machining benders .. I get the porting right , deck rings in , decked , sleeved , bored , honed and for some reason the stock pistons don't fit any more .. Smile
The only cure so far has been to seek out those FWC signs that say "resume normal safe operation" ... Cool
