Status Quo....

Nothing exciting to report. The team got the cars turned around for our Australia pilgrimage. We packed all of our equipment into its respective 'overseas' crates and bagged the cars in preparation for installing them on the shipping racks.
After all this had been accomplished the team (well most of it) had to repaint the interior of our shop. We TriSodiumPhosphated the wall to clean the years of dirt and grime off. We suggested the use Kilz primer, but to no avail. Unfortunately, this meant most walls received at least 4 coats of paint. In hindsight they realized the Kilz would have worked more efficiently. :-) After this feat, we then had to strip what seemed like a decades' worth of wax off the shop floor. Zep heavy duty stripper was our weapon. Through many tries and a few phone calls to some janitorial companies, we figured out how to attack the floor. The fumes were quite antagonistic and the floor was being exceptionally difficult, but in the end we prevailed! Many hours of scraping, mopping, and well, for lack of better terms - 'getting high', we triumphed over the nasty wax! Our parts manager is going to re-apply wax to the floor while we are gone to Australia. Oh the fun....
My friend Neil and I have taken up bowling many nights of the week. It is always interesting when we venture to the alley! Our most recent trips have brought frustration, as the alley we attend usually has less than courteous people. We always manage to enjoy ourselves. Even when we have nights we won't mention we ever went bowling!
I have done a little tuning on the 'ol Subie. I just installed a new 'Cold Air Induction' kit as the first step of customization for my car. I have a couple of weeks after resetting the Engine Control Unit before it 're-learns' the fuel mapping. In other words- it's quite sluggish!
Other than that....blah blah blah....just the status quo.
