Put the Rev up twice today on some #50LPG x30'+/-,a few & Race Frame for the second time in 3 weeks.... I miss it!

Wind was nothing to blasting and everything in between, along with every direction. Time off shows for sure!

My all time favorite....

The Hustler w/ Paul Newman......going to enjoy it!

Oh no! A double shift on what is to be my Friday! Hope not!

10-5........its a hard life......this week

Some kite flying..some swimming..some relaxing

I would watch "The Fast and the Furious" 100 times .....just to see that blown big block Charger do a wheelie stand.... Good memories....

Winds blastin'....untangling stack lines and a B and a rev 2 are about to get some air time........

Finally!

No job...trucks fixed.

Guess I could go talk to the former boss.....and maybe....

Just maybe ......

Hit the beach and give ALL the Kites a spin and shaking out!

2 weeks is too long without a set of Revolution Kite handles in my hands...

It's no Cadillac...but it sure is nice to drive the pickup again and in a strange way, I almost can't wait to rebuild the th350 and get some umph back in my life with some mild pucker up power in the "old" truck.

Whom ever said "3rd times a charm" lied. It's the 4th one that counts!

After 4 removal,rebuild,reinstalls of the transmission....I'm done!

And even though it took 4 times (my mistakes) and cost me my job (which was basically worthless)..it was still a hell of a lot cheaper than going to a so called "transmission shop"!

After removal and teardown #4 of the 4l60e..... I have come to realize ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

South America.....its like America.......

....but south

Is it bad that I'm watching "UP" again?

So...its come to the point that I can pull a Chevy 4l60e from a 1/2 ton pickup..tear it apart.. new seals..put it back together..installed and on the road in 4.5 hrs.

If only it would work..... No low/reverse on the first time. No reverse on the second time. No 2/4 on the 3rd time.

Anyone got a match!?

As the sun sets, and over a week of wrenching.

I am feeling a Wala or Xl session coming on!

Are you in the front yard....

Under the sprinkler....

In a bean bag....

Eatin' cheetos.....

Naked!

There is your sign.... A hack job from being in a rush, caused me to do it all twice.

Time to make the doughnuts!

No low / reverse in the rebuild.... Back out and apart it comes,must have cut a seal.

I think Busted Knuckle Garage is now called ....

Sore Back Garage.

It's always nice to know that a part so insignificant that the shop doesn't even charge you for it....can keep your vehicle from moving.

Knew I would lose it when I tore it apart!

I got blisters on me fingers!

I feel like a bad kite owner.....as my kites sit couped up in the back of a Jeep with a thrown rod...or 2.... and all my kite money goes towards vehicle repairs.

One more day my friends, and there will be First class taxi service to sunshine and salt air!

Although.... I did fly for about an hour in the living room for about an hour after midnite(and video soon) the other day Nice to have the Iflite addition to the kite mix!

Feeling a Wala Xl today...dead tired and a very slight breeze.

That is if I can ever get motivated to stand back up and walk 30yds.....

Absolutely smoking hot this afternoon.... Time for some in the water flying!

96 degreeeeees.....in 'da shaaaa...aaaaade!

Now we are cookin'

Caught a stiff wind...been flic flaccin my life away for the last hour!

After almost a week of no flying... I check the coastal winds and see a big fat 0...it's nice to know that it won't effect me one bit!

There WILL be a kite in the air!
