Christ. You're a magnet, aren't ya?!

If it helps ease the pain, I'll be more than happy to buy you guys dinner at your wife's favorite restaurant. Just send me the tab.....

plugs

My suitcase is packed with bottled water and protein bars.

Thinking about packing a dental damn, condom and butt plug to make sure I dont get a parasite during my shower :mad:


I hate to point this out man but you forgot ear and nose plugs if you really want to make sure.LOL:lol:

Since your going to India again maybe you should bring 50 lbs of steak just in case the protein bar is not enough.just my 2 pennies.

It is not too late, my original offer of $450 stands. I can pick it up tomorrow.

If it gets postponed again I may just cancel and postpone til sometime in May I think. You know, when the weather is hotter and muggier.

AAARRRGGHHHHH!!!

Eh, it's not that bad. I traveled from Chennai to Pondicherry in a car with no A/C in June, it was tolerable. The worst was in Bangladesh in late summer driving from Dohar to Dhaka in a Land Cruiser with broken A/C, driven by a loony factory security guard who insisted we not roll down the windows because it was "too dirty" :eek: I swear there was an inch of sweat running on the floor by the time we made it to the hotel!
 
Ok so quick update:

My India Visa was denied because my application didn't match my driver's license. I just moved last Nov. Ugh.

So my Visa was FINALLY approved today which means I get it tomorrow. The problem is Costa Rica dates can't change so now going to India AFTER Costa Rica.

On the 60 side, wind up getting a fresh rebuilt head and its been installed onto the engine I got from Georg so we are good to go finally. I will check in the morning to see where things are.

It's looking better and better by the hour

Any pics of the work getting done?

They denied you Visa?for what reason your american? A co-worker visited India a few years back and they strip search him and made fun of him while searching .:whoops:

I've been stripped searched at LAX a little more than a month after 9/11 on my way from LAX to SEA. Definitely embarrassing as fxxx but no insertions...thankfully.
 
Stopped by K&H early this morning. Old motor removed.

How the exterior looks low. The stink bug is gone :flipoff2:

I need to figure out what to do to get the front end up higher once the motor is back in.
