I've got no plans to run out there again until my new engine shows up. The epoxy stuff to do my garage floor with is supposed to show up here on Wednesday (3/10) so I'm expecting between polishing the cradles and finishing off the garage floor to be pretty busy up till then.

That's funny. He told me he was throwing up and had the sh*ts all day and that's why he wasn't at the shop.

Well, I didn't hear anything from Bryan at LME this week. Last week he told me he expected my block to be ready for delivery to him. But I guess that didn't happen. I sent him an email around mid week, but never got a reply.

I wish I could BUY patience. I need a five gallon bucket full of that stuff right now.

I wish I could sell you some of mine. I've been told I've got a lot. Good luck Rich...

Well, I got an email from Bryan at LME today saying that RHS was sending out my block to a warehouse in Ohio, and should be there Friday or Monday. RHS is located in Memphis so I'm assuming that means it was shipped out today or will be shipping out tomorrow.

From there it will be shipped to LME in Texas, so I'm guess it will get to Bryan maybe by Friday, April 2.

Figuring they won't get started on the block until Monday, April 5th, and Bryan said it will take them two weeks to prepare the block, that means it should be ready to ship to Chris on the April 19th.

So with any luck, Chris will get it maybe by April 23rd.

So I'm guessing my car isn't going to be seeing the road till the first week of May.

So how long has my car been in the shop? I've lost track of the number of months now....

Wow, that's a confusing line of events. Tennessee to Ohio to Texas...ummm, ok. Man, I wish I could send some of our clients on a wild goose chase like this from time to time.

Well the bright side is that it gives me more time with those aluminum cradles. I think perhaps this has made me a little bit insane. I decided to bring the cradles home and POLISH the damned things. Sheesh.... no one is ever going to see them and here I am making the all nice and pretty. But I guess at least I have SOME of my car to play with in the meantime....

Just get some mirrors for car show displays. You'd be amazed at how cool it looks. Subtle, but judges would notice. I've seen it done on two C6's and it's sweet. It'll be worth the effort...I think.

I seriously doubt any judges will notice the cradles. Usually when they find the piece of donut I dropped that rolled under the seat, they lose interest in judging my car any further..........

Were you a cop in another life?
