Well, I have learned to stay away from a Canadian with a hammer, a 7" cutting wheel, and on a mission. Add some Gibsons silver label, and watch the show:

The front end work is going to take the rest of the weekend. Alignment on Monday, more Gibsons, tweaking the front end on Tuesday, more gibsons, road test on Wednesday, more Gibsons, re-coop on Thursday, Hit the road on Friday, stay over Fri night, more gibsons, return home on Sat, stop to test the lockers, more Gibsons, stay over on Sat night, return home on Sunday.




Make it home, and finish the 10th 1.75 L bottle of Gibsons in celebration of making it home alive.
