Looking forward to seeing you. My cell is 706 621 1732 if you have any problems or just want to find us Friday nite.

I hope we don't need it, but I will have a truck and tow bar (type 1)available if we need it.

Well crap!!!
Lat night I stayed at the shop and was going to do a few more pulls on Beth's car with the chassis dyno before the run... So I turned on the electronics and computer and had no connectivity, I worked on it for 3 hours before giving up and going to bed...

Today I call Dynojet and they walk me through a bunch of tests and they end up telling me that the unit has been more than likely STRUCK BY LIGHTNING!!

This must have hapened on Wednesday nioght when the storms rolled through, but the odd thing is the dyno and the computer weren't even plugged in to any power source! The guys at dynojet tell me this is a fairly common occurrence and nothing can be done to keep it from happening!

On this hill we have lots of lioghtning issues, every year I lose all sorts of equipment because of it ... What sucks is I won't be able to show people how the dyno works since I had to send the control tower back to Dynojet today for a repair thats sure to carry a hefty price tag...

Sorry guys.

Well. We're back home.
What a drive, 8+ hours each way.
Worth every minute though, Lucy and I had a great time and appreciate the overwhelming hospitality of the Athens VW club.
Feel that we made some new friends and look forward to seeing you guys in Florida soon, If not then we'll see you in Ga. soon.
AND We had the best poker hand Razz
I sure hope that you guys will give our love to and keep us posted on the condition of Mark & (Kristina?)
