Doug- more bad news for UT.

Remember I said that Librium was good Sh##?

Yeah, until the bottom three steps of the stairs.

Shortly after I posted, I lost my Equi-Librium even though I had hold of the hand rail, spun down, cold-cocked myself against a built-in bookcase.

Wife came home an hour later, saw me in a pool of blood, and freaked.

EMT's woke me up, I got my first ride in an ambulance, 14 stitches on the back of my head. Mild concussion. Flushed the Librium when I got home. Ate lots of red meat to replace the blood loss. Went to work three days later out of sheer boredom.

Stitches didn't hurt going in, but I felt every one when they pulled them out yesterday.

Now the bad news.

KeithCraft Racing is still waiting on a couple of parts for my engine build before Boudy can install the heater and take #139 on a 200-mile shakedown cruise. (Probably the Tremec TKO and different flywheel)

Even worse, the 17" Boyd Smoothie rims I had ordered (paid for, BTW) to be matched up with sticky Nittos may not reach Plano for weeks.

It seems this Boyd dude now has his own syndicated Hi-perf TV show and his plant is 8-12 weeks behind on deliveries.

When I take BDR delivery... with luck, the first week of August, I guess... I'll probably be rolling on 15" Cragar-vintage look-alikes and Goodyears.

I hate Goodyears. I only had three blowouts in 35 years, and all three were Goodyears.

That Ragin' Cajun Boudy is jumping through hoops trying to pull this thing together, but if Reg in Florida thinks I'm gonna cut him the final invoice check for a custom-built car I haven't even SEEN yet, he's out of his Africaaner mind.

I'm crazy, not stupid.

Flyin on Codeine right now, a good, honest painkiller.

I figure that if I have all the bad luck, then other BDR buyers will have all the good luck.

And I am dead-a$$ed serious about mounting a gun rack on those twin roll bars.

Should make it easy to find in a parking lot full of Cobras.

You KNOW I will post a picture.

Did I tell you that Codeine is good Sh###?
