24 days, what are you doing?

[sukchew at cox-internet.com (Chuck Blue)]

Sorry Dan,No Brisket this year.I'm afraid the space will be taken up with 
oil.I am trying to get a oil leak stopped so I won,t have to hangf a bucket 
of oil over the engine. I stll have to get the megasquirt programed enough 
to get from Texas to Cincy. It's better but still not good.I have a tuner 
frind that is going to help me this weekend. But first I have to get the 
cylinder head back on. Hopefully that will take care of the leak ,at least 
one of them. There is not going to be any spit and polish. If I do get to 
come its going to be with grease oil and finger prints. there is not going 
to be any time for frills/Brisket.I'm going to be lucky just to make it 
there.
Chuck
