Good point. You definitely want to make sure you're mechanically in good shape before getting on the rollers.

Not a problem folks - I love to talk cars (in case you can't tell) - so it is no sweat off my back.

Might cost a beer or two though.....

If you guys go up to Bellingham and I don't join you these are my favorite places up there:

http://www.bbaybrewery.com/ - For food and beer
http://www.yelp.com/biz/jaccis-fish-and-chips-bellingham - For just food (obviously fish and chips)
http://www.yelp.com/biz/mallard-ice-cream-bellingham (although I've never been here due to my lack of lactase enzyme)

There's a ton of little places to hang out, you can pretty much walk into any place in fairhaven and find a decent hang out. Le Chat Noir in Fairhaven is a good place for light eats and brews/wine. If any of you guys are into oysters the couple places on Chuckanut Drive are supposely very good, although I never went there due to my light college wallet. If you don't go there to eat, at least drive on the road.

I guess I'm suggesting all this because it might buy you more time to hang out if you just hang out in Bellingham?

So... you're gonna let Kane do the dyno tuning AFTER he's partied the night before

Okay guys its official. I have booked Kane's flight just now. He will be arriving in Seattle on Sept 10th at around 10am. We will then street tune and grab lunch. So if anyone wants to plan a dinner get together with drinks, etc for the night of the 10th feel free. Although on the morning of the 11th me and Kane are heading up to Bellingham for the dyno tune.

He lives (actually J knows better than I) pretty much right in Seattle proper... but since I am bad with directions and I've never been - I';ll have to get a google earth picture when he emails me back.

My B game - usually only means I do one or two dumb things in a night.... usually because I have work the next day....

I hope it works out with Faille's crib. Although I'm sure the guys want to hit Dick's to get the party started
