Thank you for your help with this shameless play for an audience.

I need a brain dump.  When did I actually write last?  I don't remember.

 Work:  Blows.  Yah Yah… still love it an all but the head orifice is really pissing me off.  Some new policy that had increased my work by 30% all dedicated to pushing paper.   What do you do?

WOOKIE RACING:  Did mention that Lindorf's Automotive is sponsoring the Wookie Racing entry in the 24 Hours of LeMons?   This is invaluable, as my mechanical abilities are confined to bikes and legos.  Eric, the owner of Lindorf's, also brings about 20 years of experience racing Datsun 510's, which just happens to be the coolest car on the planet.**  Of course running the best import repair shop in down doesn't hurt either.

For the uninitiated, The 24 Hours of LeMons* is an endurance auto race for cars costing less than $500 excluding safety equipment.  My beautiful entry is an 85' Toyota MR 2 which was blowing copious amount of raw oil out the tail pipe when I bought it for $200.   Eric tested compression and did a leak down test as an initial evaluation of the motor, which it  passed as well as can be expected of a motor with no compression.  So this week he pulled the head off and much to my relief found that aside from a holy head gasket, the motor looks fine.  This a huge hurdle.  If the motor were bad we'd be looking for different car at this point.  As it is we're still looking for a few things, mainly people. 

I'm looking for a spokes-model for the team.  Someone to add content to our soon-to-be-born  website & corresponding MySpace profile.  Take photos, star in video of our race preparation efforts, race day heroics, to generally help out and add value for our sponsors.  Its gonna be a blast.  BJ are you listening? (Catholic School Girl uniform is required)

I've got grundles of other stuff to write about but since my writing urge was sated 13 minutes ago it will all have to wait for later...  here's the list to remind myself:

2 week trip to UT see Fam Damnly
Staring roll as "Bruce" in upcoming horror flic. (gotta shout out to Mr. Campbell Here!!)
My status as rock star.
All the hundreds of HOT CHICKS I've been meeting here on MS
My recently hired Music Manager (YO A.M!! )

**If you don't agree you can just go sit in the corner and screw yourself.  It flat-out DESTROYED everything in its class until the SCCA changed rules to weaken its advantages, so the legend goes.   You could have factory racing parts installed by the local dealer and your warranty would stay intact.  It was the original "tuner" car back when "tuning"  meant modifing your car for better performance, NOT pop riveting heavy ridiculous wings and "ground effects" on to a half primered front wheel drive honda civic with an automatic tranny and a butt pipe.
