    It's done and shipping...

    on Monday to be received by Kenny and Jeff at their local coffee shop. I'm told, after a couple cups of their coffee, they'll be able to offload it by hand.

    It's not likely to make it for the weekend of the 22nd, so it's probably going to be the weekend of the 29th.

    Thanks Roger. I'm firming up my plans for it to take place the 29th & 30th. Would it be helpful for the pallet to come directly to my house from the coffee shop? Also, we could use my little truck if that would be a help.

    Gene,

    Lets see what it is Kenny and Jeff receives, and when, and you and I can talk about it then.

    I got out there and got it out of the ghetto garage and cleaned it up, but of course the crappy ethanol carburetor disease had hit and I'm going to have to pull the carb and rebuild it so it's able to go to your place and run well on the new engine. I've been starting it every month, but ethanol is not friendly to carburetors at all.

    Roger, wow that looks like a lot of engine. Are you going to have to do anything to get the rear tires to stick to the ground?

    Are there places over there that sell ethanol free gas? We have one in town. It's worth the extra cost in my mind.

    According to this website there are 314 places in Washington that sell ethanol free gas. I think I’ll try it next time.
