I'm still around, but have been quiet as well as busy. Picked mom up from the airport today, her two week cruise/vacation was great according to her. I am glad she not only enjoyed herself, but was able to go in the first place. This time last year things did not look promising at all. As long as she's able to do these kind of things, I'll encourage it. I am hoping she's going to do more in the future. She loved using a digital camera for the first time. The concept of being able to take well over a thousand pictures without changing film or memory fascinates her.

Installed a Milltek cat-back exhaust on the MINI yesterday evening. Niiice. Wonderful low, deep idle sound, nice snarl that tell people to move the fuck outta my way when I step on it, and it's quieter than the stock exhaust when cruising. Schweet. Just what I had wanted. Last week I did some ignition upgrades as well as squeezed in an Alta high flow intake hose. I have new injectors to put in once I get some ECU programming to properly use them.

Now I need to get my wheels and tires, and soon! Dragon's coming up in less than a month. Arrrgh!

Still smiling from the little Columbus vacation. And still kicking myself for not realizing e_ticket was at goddamn PKI when I was there! And chrisglass was there too! Blarrgh! Dave, I need you phone number again.

The grass needs cutting already. The whole yard and gardens are needing attention now. 'Tis that season again already.

Most importantly, please keep arthole in your thoughts (and prayers too) as he goes through a very difficult time. I love ya, Jeb, and I wish I could help.

Welcome back to the world of the virtually living. :)

Check out my Columbus posts, if you're of a mind. You're mentioned, particularly on the Saturday one.

It sounds like that Mini has some serious attitude... Would you be reprogramming your ECU or replacing the Rom???

Butter!!! X-D

And dontchoo worry, I wasnt about to let anything happen to Paulo up there. I love 'im. And I love you too. Dontchoo forget that.

Reprogramming it. THe ROM is flash-based and soldered into the ECU. I am also going to add an 'in-between' ECU from UNIchip which works with the stock ECU in max power situations.

More MINI attitude is on the way. :-D
