Not in the cart but auto touring we spotted 6 Great Blue Herons and 1 Bald Eagle on saturday. Really an unexpected sightings of the BIG birds.

I see performance 670 now sells a Predator 420 PTO drive kit. Something RIB and I wondered about when VC released the 670 kit as the 420's bearings flywheel side and clutch side are the same. Club Car users now have another option

Fired Vicki up a couple of times in the garage and did a very short drive to get her fluids moving. BUT really cold air coming off the bay hence the Very short ride.

Got my last fill of propane today. They are rapidly laying pipe for natural gas to the island. They have been talking about this since I first bought this place in 1998. They have laid miles of the yellow pipe in just weeks. The only downside to this are my portable generators. It doesn't look like the conversions of them to natural gas works very well. Looks like I will have to stock up on 20 lb tanks. City sewers are in the plans. Our little island will become very citified.

I see Bullfrog Motorsports is selling off his xtralong billet rod for the 390-460 clones for $50 including 48 state shipping. No bearings or bolts BUT a killer deal. I think there are only 4 left as I ordered ones as a spare at that price. P.S. On page 10 of my Omega build you can see what a hunk of billet this rod is.

I see the wildcat 460 cc is back in stock at ECcarbs. I guess the chinese have the plants up and running again, BUT I see the adjustable main jets even the methanol is now out of stock.

I don't know if you guys will see this, but grade 8/10 all thread is cheap, in comparison to studs. But it requires cutting, and dressing the ends. Hack saw and grinder. AARP bolts, with rolled threads are the ultimate in strength, but get you wallet out!

AARP bolts? Are those the ones that are brittle because of osteoporosis?

I know your ARP probably got auto corrected, I couldn't resist.

The Bullfrog connecting rod arrived today. Ordered it at night of 3/24. Nice. Another jewel of billet machining
