Reminds me of this scene from Risky Business....
Jackie: Joel, be a courageous person. Open the door! That way, you see, I can call a cab.
Joel: Again, I'm really sorry.
Jackie: As long as we come to an arrangement, I'm in no mood for complaining. I mean, when you put your good money down you gotta get what you wanted in the first place. Know what I mean? When you buy a TV, you don't buy Sony if you want RCA. I know we could get along real well. But, hey! It's your hard-earned money, right? This way, we make an arrangement and everyone is satisfied.
Joel: You had carfare.
Jackie: A long ride. I don't ever come out this far.
Joel: And your time.
Jackie: My time, my effort, my infinite patience and understanding.
Joel: Thank you.
Jackie: 75 dollars.
Joel: Fair enough.
Jackie: Joel, I'm going to give you a number. You ask for Lana. It's what you want.
Joel: Thank you.
Jackie: It's what every white boy off the lake wantsMy hobby is needing a hobby.

I will say DM is an artist. His realm is not music but tuning a car. But he IS an artist, so he's flaky and frankly undependable as hell. But when he does his thing to completion, it is done more than right. We have all the time in the world for this since I'm retired and we still have Red and Bubba to drive around.
If he can fix Bluebelle I'll be right here as soon as I can get to the keyboard saying, in all caps, she's fixed. Until then, it's just like a pot of spaghetti sauce, it's got to cook and cook for a WHILE.Last edited by pdub; July 15, 2018, 04:40 PM.Charter member of the Turd Nuggets

For anyone who cares a crap besides us Wees, I just now forced the issue on the phone with Dyno Man. I finally couldn't stand not hearing anything, he's got our car and has had it for going on two weeks.
He said he finally got a software resolution from the tuner folks, it really was the tuner that botched the car. He said he's got a Corvette on the dyno today, maybe tomorrow he'll put Bluebelle on it and get her fixed. I gave him some slack, told him I'd call him Monday.
This ain't at all over, but it's looking up, sort of, from the sound of it. Complete coverage upcoming in December probably.Charter member of the Turd Nuggets

Y'all know I just HAVE to add as much drama as possible to whatever it is. So I will. A little while ago it came a real storm here. Loud. Hail hitting the house, lots of noise. Woke me up in the middle of the night, and that's hard to do. I just went outside and checked on Bubba sitting out there, with a flashlight he doesn't appear to be damaged, windshield not broken. But there's lots of tree crap and big limbs in the back yard. Nothing serious, just a mess. Bubba's plastered with leaves that came from somewhere across town.
All to say, I checked the radar history and it looked for sure like the bigger hail shaft in that storm came right over the area where Bluebelle is sitting outside on Dyno Man's lot. Wouldn't THAT be something? And there's a bigger line of storms coming, that wasn't "it." Not nearly.Charter member of the Turd Nuggets

This whole thing is the pieces of the already dead pine tree that doesn't even belong to us. Another "project" for sure.
But the nature of that storm, what I saw on radar, I'm worried sick about Bluebelle. I think they had some SERIOUS hail over there at DM's shop..
