    Kiddo's spring travel soccer season starts today.

    Practices Tuesdays and Thursdays for an hour and a half. Games on the weekends, but the first game isn't until the first weekend of April.

    Let the hectic weeks begin.

    Tell me about it. My son swims for a club team year round. 2 hr practices 6 days a week. Typically swims about 4 miles each practice. Swim meets 2x per month. Meets are usually 5-6 hrs long per day and run 2-3 consecutive days. Talk about a time suck.

    Same trajectory on my end... loved RBR until Max, have been die-hard McLaren since (though Aston and Fernando have me cheering for them more than anyone else this year). Shit, my office is painted McLaren livery. This season stings.

    There are many things I have to say about Max and how RBR acts regarding him that are not fit for typing out on the internet

    CMC scheduled for 4/5. Yayyy! Still need to finalize the exhaust reroute, but need to prioritize this since I will need new tires sooner than later.

    Good morning CT.
    Hope to have the bracket done today.

    Anybody in CT or the immediate area want a soldering station? I no longer use it and you can have it for free.
    I do not want to ship it so a meetup will have to do.

    (it's this one, not my picture)

    Nice! Did mine Saturday along with a thorough undercarriage flush. UPS says the rest of the parts for my lift will be here tonight and my wife leaves for a business trip Friday evening. Looks like this will be lift installation weekend (probably just need one day).

    Yeah, that 71 has some serious chassis work. I'd think that aftermarket steering rack makes for some nice feel
