Bob, I hope you can still get your issues resolved with your supplier to your complete satisfaction.

I'll keep us all posted on how I make out as it actually gets fired up and I'm hammering on it. I don't want to jump the gun and then eat crow when the bottom end drops out during my first burnout I will report back as things move along.

As I said before, I'd love to just head out into the sunset (i.e. westbound) and make a trip like you suggested. I'll see if I can make things work out so that becomes possible but I didn't want to be unrealistically optimistic about it.
