Are you really always sporting a white boy tan or what??????
yeah.....
Thats what happens when you mix Ukrainians and Irish...I am phospholuminescent.
I will be sitting by the pool at for a month in Scottsdale starting Sunday so I will have plenty of time to try and get a tan.

Yanking the motor is easy, it's putting everything back together that takes time.
Had the motor out of my 24 in less than an hour.
Had the entire motor stripped to bare block in about 2-1/2, 3.
I'm no expert at this at all, in fact, I was just a helper on the scene.
I do recall for some reason shifting the drive to forward before pulling it.
Not sure why, but the guys seemed to think that was an important step.

You're coming to Scottsdale?!?!?
Hell, I'm in Tempe. You'll be ~15 miles away.
We have to hook up for a few beers.
Maybe even get Dude!Sweet! to run out here.
Ain't no party like a familia party!

Tim, I was going to suggest a visit while Adam is out. Seems like a good idea to me!

Well, now it's just become a "MUST HAPPEN", instead of just a good idea.
I forgot Adam was going to be out here for Barrett-Jackson.
My wife was mentioning that she'd like to go to at least take a look around.
What are the dates? My 24yr step-daughter is going to be out here 23-30th.
Might be something cool to take her to.

I will be there on the 10th until February.
Lets do it. I know a few good bars down there...Tim ever been to the Giligans Bar?
I have taken a few people here and it is usually pretty good. Plus it is right in old town.
a few tidbits from reviews I just found....the place actually has a mini bar with a midget bartender and tiny stools. no joke.
"If Jimmy Buffet and Hunter S Thompson were hanging out tripped the **** out on acid and decided to open a bar together it would look something like this place only with more fire arms. Somehow this still doesn't work that well."
"Vile...never again. Went in to meet up with some friends. While I was waiting to get a drink, a guy on a microphone was calling another guy derogatory names for a gay person, every rude one you can think of.
Now I can pretty much guarantee that no gay man would be caught dead in this pit, so it was hetero insult with the gay slur time. Lame.
It was yucky hot, way overcrowded, & generally miserable. "
" made the mistake of going to this place with my girlfriend (at the time), her sister, and her sister's boyfriend. It was their goldfish racing night"
"when the bar tender got on the mic and began ranting about midgets and cussing them out. Then all of a sudden there they were 2 midgets running around like little kids on a sugar rush. They were spinning wheels and walking around with jello shots and whip cream. It was hilarious and strange. "
lol

Adam, although I haven't met you yet, I have met Sean, and that sounds like the place for us. Sounds like it has a great "atmosphere":smash:
I foresee a hangover in my near future, and I haven't had one of those since about 1996.
Sean, work this out to get here.
If you need a place to crash, I've got room. - Got a pool, and a pond - pond would be good for you

Wow! I've found my purpose in life. Give me dates and I'll figure out how to make it happen. Stupid homo midgets! I'll give them what for! And hell, that's not even the piece de resistance, can't wait for the uncomfortable breakfast when Tim confronts Adam about his "excessively sticky" stepdaughter! ;sifone:
Dude! Sweet!
Charter Member
That should be :sifone: and "unexpectedly sticky"

I am pretty pumped. Sent down my old man's Vette and the shop truck last thursday. My Vette is staying here. My buddy who works for us was all set to send me down his 600 Ninja as well but when he was taking it for gas from my shop on last Thursday (just as we were going to get it loaded) he wrote it off! I had his old Ninja down there last year and I had alot of fun riding around. The no helmet law but Sunglasses required made me laugh.

Hey now, leave her out of this.
I have a picture of her dancing with me at a bar on my office desk from when she was 12-13. It was before me and her Mom even started dating, she was always hanging out with "the boat crowd", and was the only kid, so I always tried to make sure she had a fun time too. She's a great kid, er, I mean young lady.
Adam, send me a PM or give me or Sean a call when you get here.
I'm already scheduling a few extra days off for the week of the 23rd-30th.
Would love to bring Brooke up to the auction on the 23rd when she gets in, any connections for tickets?

I am here now. When are you guys thinking?
I am going to drive my Vette to Vegas for a night or two to meet up with some people this week. Probably be back Friday or Saturday. Next week is hectic.
I doubt I will be able to get passes. they used to give us so many but now we have to beg for extras even for my own staff.

got the motor out on saturday. took 5 hours from start (drive) to finish approximately.
Clearing the shop and putting things back took forever. I will post pics you will see why.
It isnt really that hard. I was nervous about the 3/8ths bolts lifting it though. :ack2: but I was assured by a few people that I was ok!!
