Hi, people!

There are several of you whom I have not responded to yet and I wanted to
let you know that I will, but I am going to be hard-pressed for the next few
days for two reasons:

1. I am going to be putting a bunch of time and energy into the Campout at
KPFA Radio in Berkeley (I hope to be able to park Okie, our 83.5 Westy, in
the street in front of the station the next few days), in support of the
station. KPFA is in the throes of a crisis involving the national board of
the Pacifica Foundation. For those of you who don't know, KPFA, one of the
last bastions of real community supported radio, was forcibly shut down, its
staff locked out, one of it's newscasters dragged forcibly from the building
by armed thugs during his live broadcast for daring to report on the
activities of the governing board. The station is currently boarded up,
chained and padlocked. There is an ongoing demonstration occupying Martin
Luther King Jr. Way in front of the station. Big benefit concert Monday
night 7/19. Check out http://savepacifica.net/index.htm and
http://www.radio4all.org/freepacifica/index.html for more info.

2. Starting on Tuesday, or at the latest on Wednesday (I hope) we will be
doing our first Eurospec engine conversion installation. We're putting the
115 HP 2.0 tallblock in a customer's '90 Carat. We'll be documenting the
procedure, so it'll probably take twice as long as it will during later
installations. Hopefully I'll have pix of the whole project up on
wagonworks.com in a week or two. I intend to do the work myself to sort of
lay the groundwork and establish the protocols for future conversions.

So don't feel neglected if my response time is a bit sluggish, I'll get
there eventually.

Coby
