Sorry about the phone. I need to replace mine sometime soon as well. Who do you have service with?

I've decided to try the friday SeatTime event since I have that friday off anyway. I'll be down Thursday night late. Looks like you'll have some company Dano! I'll give you a call on my way down and let you know when I'll be there.

So if anyone needs to get in touch with me by phone until I can see if I can get this POS fixed, PM me and I'll give you my home phone number.

What's that, Denny? Older and more "seniler" or older and more "cooler"? Maybe both?

Wrong and i will prove it! Wait----did i just insult myself? Damn yall are confusing me.
Well I figue 4 cell phones and a land line in the house is enough. I can always get one when I want. At least I dont get all those calls for political donations.
my daughter's graduation ceremony is 8pm Friday night before the event. So I havent decided yet to make an early morning or a late night trip. A little over a 2 hr ride for me.
You know you cant buy the little rubber boots on the brake slider pins(the internal one) you have to buy the entire slider assembly---guess i will go with a broke rubber.

I just installed new slider pins because I couldn't get the rubbers either. Mine were fubard and sticking big time. No amount of Cermalube would make them work. Now they don't pull to the left any more. Don't know if it had to do with the pins or a general brake cleaning.

Also cleaned out it's lung. That REVi does get pretty dirty and I was amazed at how much crud was in the box itself. Guess it just gets sucked into the cold air intake.

Checking my wheels/tires next then I'm pretty much done except for packing.

I might BARELY have the HP+s in time for the event, Don. I have HPSs in stock, though. Being that you guys know your brakes and tires better than anybody I figure you also know what you want the first time you ask.

Come on OD, you should know by now that you should never use a broke rubber. That might lead to #4!

I'm good Denny. I'm down about 1/2 or maybe a little more and just wanted a new pair for back up. I ordered a set today. I will have them on Mon/Tue.

I think my car liked the lung cleaning. Seems to be idling smother now and just has a perky smile on her when I drive.
