Awesome traffic this morning...

Won't get much time to

as I have to go out in the field today. Probably will take me all day.

Did they give you a time frame of when you can pick it up? About a week?

I am on the road this week -- until Thursday. They are bringing it up Wednesday or Thursday. My dealer had to trade a Nismo Frontier (manual trans) to the other dealer to get my Z. She has 16 miles on here. Well, that's a lot of miles, but I am going with it anyway.

If everything goes according to plan, I am going to get it Saturday. I have to transfer lots of dollars into my checking account, which takes a couple of days anyway.

I think mine had 10 miles on it when I got it. Then 400 that same day.

Almost 1000 by the following Monday (drove it back on a Friday).

Can't wait to see some pics of it!

Congrats on the new Z! What options did you get?

I am travelling too much. I am at the Sacramento airport this morning and the Delta agent called me by name when I walked up. The shoe shine guy did the same.

Travel hint: Always wear your dirtiest shoes when going to the airport and have a pro detail them for you. Then, expense out the cost to your client.

I've always wondered, how much do you tip the shoe-shine guy?

I've never had mine shined (I don't travel with me dress shoes).

I just give them a couple bucks. I rarely do it anymore though. I picked up some quick shine at Target and have gotten into the habit of shining the shoes I'll be traveling with for the week on Sunday night. Looks just as good. Most of my shoes are newer/in good shape though. If you have older/worn dress shoes, a good shine from these guys will be worth it.

He charges me 7 dollars and I give him a sawbuck ($10 USD).

goodam, everyone.

hope you all had great sunday....mine was too quick.

motored my Z yesterday am, had a great time. as usual, QD'ed afterwards, then washed my dd. reorganized my screws and nuts bin as i had new stock come in last week.

i still need to re-organize my parts bin in the garage this week, and also the storage area later this summer.

so my wife was doing a lot of washing/drying over the weekend using the luckygoldstartstupidtunes.... then yesterday, after washing my MF towels, i found a puddle of water between the units.

i was like wth, one of the stupidgoldstar is broken already??

anyway, i wiped it up, placed a dry paper towel between the units and ran both of them again. to my surprise, the dryer side started to get wet.

first, it appears the luckygoldstartstupidtunes is too powerful for the older house's evac vent and bottle necks at the wall. so i went outside, cleaned out the duct just in case (wasn't that dirty). second, the higher humidity in the air these days seems to be the curprit as well. this is the first summer im running these units.

i opened up the hvac register in the utility room a tad more and put a small fan to circulate. everything was dry after that.
