So. 2011, in summary:- Spent the beginning of the year deeply in love with a friend that was ( Read more... )

I'm alive, I promise. Work has been intense... has it's ups and downs, but mostly seems to be getting better. Better enough, at least, that they're sending me to Hong Kong next month. WOO ( Read more... ) -

Lest you all think I have given up writing, fear not! I've simply been writing in other places. Romancing California has some new material, and few new posts in the works. And, since I have a new-to-me Miata to obsess over, I've been blogging about it in my Grassroots Motorsports garage.

Capping the Gulf Coast [GTX] Oil Leak...
(Cross-posted to Romancing CAIt was a good thing I made the detour to MT323's in Louisiana. We decided that the valve cover was sufficiently bolted down that we didn't change it, but did change the oil filler cap. That took care of most, but not all, of the remaining oil leak. There was a suspicious amount of oil in the intercooler; we decided to ( Read more... ) -
Houston, we have a problem
(Cross-posted to Romancing CAI actually made it to Houston and caught up with old friends. It was a much needed break from the road. A fellow GTXer and his wife in southern Louisiana offered me crash space the following night; MT323 wanted to look for any other problems before I got to Gainesville ( Read more... )
