Nothing too important here...

I just decided to take the day off to get to the tech inspection center and get this over with (out of state inspection grand finale, since i changed the 2 lower balljoints on the 'vert as they requested when i went the first time after buying the car).

I realise i did a good move selling the coupe project...I have a hard time just replacing 2 b-joints and scheduling an appointment to pass an inspection!!!

Anyway, i was not going to do it today...(even tough i meant to do it the whole week) 'Figured it woul be sunny on monday (forecasted rain today). So when i got up, i told my wife she would drop the kids to daycare today (Usually me) and that i would leave later this morning. But when i started making coffee i came across my trailer while looking out....

TOO LATE, plans of the day had just changed. I cancelled 2 meetings and for the two job start ups i had to do....I did what any good manager would have done; Delegated!!!

I emptied my trailer, hooked it up to my truck, put the wheels back on the Camaro and tied it town on the trailer. I left for the tech center and didn't look back!

Once there, i asked to see the same guy that had done the prior inspection as i had a good talk with him and he was into cars...(Good!)

I didn't even have to unload the car. At first, he wanted me to, but i guess my face spelled the fact that to see two balljoints it was a bit to ask. He finally changed his mind, looked under the car, signed the papers and applied the conformity sticker.

I then went straight to the DMV offices to register the car and paid for my plate. Then home i decided it was time to eat (hadn't eaten and going on 1.30) i was starting to shake so i figured i'd eat then take the car off the trailer.

You guessed it right. As i sat down, it began to rain HARD and it still is (8pm) but that didn't dampen my spirit! I crawled under there, unlocked the binders, rolled it down from there and went for a ride around the block!

Man it felt good! Tomorrow, sun is supposed to be there for the whole day...
I still have my garage exterior to finish over the w-e. But you can be sure i'll go for a real drive!

Thanks for reading...I needed to scream this out!

Oh yeah, on my way back i stopped at the local Speed shop i usually do business with and we spoke about scheduling installation of my mini tubs and frame connectors in a few weeks.

I really want to do it myself, but i think it might be a good idea to get help if i want to see this thru someday. AND I WANT TO!!!

More to come soon!
