well, i sort of screwed up here.... My friend has two childern (7 and
1.5), no $$$ and only one car. They are borrowing our extra car (we have
3!!) as opposed to renting. They don't have the $ to have a shop do the
tranny. I though we were JUST doing the tranny (two saturdays i figured),
then i told him about syncro.org and he now wants to make sure the whole
drive-train is OK....  I'm too nice and just can't let him do the VC or in
that case anything by himself (he is less than mechanical...).

Jen is not too happy with me, but i'm stuck, he needs the help, and they
are really good friends.. And we are probably going to ask his wife to
baby sit Dylan a few days a week so jen can get some work done...

I'm allowed to work on the bus early saturday morning only. Like 6am to 11
or noon tops. She called over to his place the first time and said she's
going to sell Dylan on ebay if i'm not home in 10 minutes....

Yes, she is a saint.

well, i gotta get some work done around here.
