Hey Jarrid,
You going to be anywhere near Vermont soon :) I am completely confused as to
what to do when I start MY new engine. I thought it was going to be
relatively easy, now I woudn't be surprised to see the whole thing explode
and kill everyone around it. Also, where does the beer fit in? I haven't
heard a mention of it yet.
I guess I need to just print all the emails out and try to put the picture
together.

This is ok while cold?

I'll probably be doing it this weekend. I'll call you.
