    Tina...

    Can you tell us where the August meeting will be and do you have anyone confirmed for the Wine Trip to the Coast?

    Thanks, Jon.

    Most knee issues can be resolved with copious amounts of alcohol. Sa-ke ought'a be satisfactory. No other medications necessary.

    I'm just sayin', as the Chief in my world, I never found myself having ta take a knee, therefore nor should you... Henceforth - no more aggrivation.

    That'll be 2 beers please.

    BTW... If the back begins to hurt more than that of the acceptable USN levels, you are likely carrying more than your own weight. Therefore, you will need to kick some ass! (Using caution, of course, so as not to further aggrivate the troubled knee)

    No Charge.

    Bored again....

    Fubrication rear wing section, didn't like the wave look in the finish so time to smooth things out and repaint. The white is primer filler that shows high spots so there is a lot of sanding and priming to get it straight. I like that it is fiberglass. If it were abs or other material it would be near impossible to get it looking nice and smooth. Plus the finish paint was a bit orange peel for my taste. Even though a wet sand would have cured that the wave finish would have shown up more.

    Its not boredom now but a challenge. The wing end pieces are hollow where the wing is mounted to it. This is not good because at a high speed the wing might flex and simply break away. It is also the reason why when I was trail fitting and only had the wing securing fasteners finger tight that it cracked the end where it mounted. You can see the part I cut out. I filled the area with resin which should be more then strong enough.

    How can I forget the over 6 hours fixing these things to actually be worthwhile!
    Maybe I am to picky after all there is so many that are on MINI's without problems? :crazy:
