*plugs nose and turns on fan* There, that should help get rid of the stench.

Wheels and tires come tomorrow, already mounted and balanced too. My vacation days have been cancelled though, we have too much going on at work. My shop manager said we can try again in April to get some of my vacation time used up.

I just put in 2 days requested time off, and I haven't been there 2 months! lol.

Careful taking all that vacation... even though you've earned it.. . employers don't really like you taking it all at the same time.

Whats up my main peeps!!! Oh and you to Tom.

So I got an email today that had the tracking number on a package for me that will be at my house on Friday. Now what is in the box is the best part. Nathan aka Blue Notch found some taillights on a diff forum and showed them to me. they are exactly what I was looking for in like perfect condition. I will have pics of them after they arrive and my wife takes pics of them for me also. I want to make sure they showed up in one piece

Anywho, I am outta here. I got to get to bed.

P.S. they switched me to days and so I am now working on the AH-64 better known as The Apache helicopters

So I am on and off here due to me working my butt off.

So there you have it a lil update form yours truly.

Boogie Nights aka Dirk aka Dirka aka Dirka Dirka aka Dennis

Hey Dirk,
Sweet dreams I guess. Used to you being on the board at this time of night. Can't wait to see your pictures. I had a good email tonight. I have had Steeda Sport springs and Koni shocks sitting in the garage for a few weeks now waiting on CJ Pony parts to ship my GT 500 strut mounts. They said they were out of stock until mid April but they shipped out today. So maybe I can work that install into my schedule a little earlier than expected.

Looking forward to heading out there tho. Need to find the best hotel/location to stay at.
Doesnt look like there is tailgating at the stadium.

I'll miss the dome. I don't care how good or comfortable the seats are. No place can compare to the atmosphere of the metrodome.

Parking is gonna suck. Plus beware that they built the darn thing right on the borders of the worst part of the city. Might want to wear a bullet proof vest.

The parking is supposed to be mostly ramps, but you never know. There are buses and the dumb light rail as well.

So your wallet gets raped at the Marriot, and then you get raped at the ballpark. Sounds like fun.
