I just woke up from a trance to realize I had driven 200 miles to be sitting here.

Something big is happening.

I made it to Memphis yesterday to see this motor. @FJ60Cam is surely a mad scientist. And I’m really glad that @wngrog talked me into some headers. This thing is gorgeous. So insanely cool.

Very excited about the progress. Still a few more details and cool features to discuss. This is going to come together real fast.

Dang. Did Eglin get hammered too?
 
Well. I had high hopes that we were gonna put @wngrog on a big alligator but they were not really cooperating tonight. We did find a little guy for him to play with for a while. Nolen was very skeptical about holding a live gator but I finally convinced him that he was not gonna die. The little guy was really weirded out by us wanting to take his photo but he did swim away unharmed. Some celebratory Publix chicken and we called it a night.

We messed around catching and releasing 7’ gators until the bait ran out. Smashed some cold Publix chicken and crashed.

Up with the sun and a couple biscuits from Piggly Wiggly and it’s off to get mustard
