>I saw that.. but I thought that it said "Houston, T-minus..." as in rocket scientist jargon. If he is actually in Houston, I would love to crash his >engine test, and perhaps trade notes. His website didn't give any hints to where he was or how to contact him (other than his work email).

I live in Bellevue, Washington.  Unfortunately “Bellevue, we have T-Minus 2 hours …” just doesn’t sound as official. J

Besides, I chickened out on starting the engine today.  It’s not like I don’t have a few other things to work on – so I’ll wait for my exhaust/muffler.  I’d also really like to have my EM2 installed before I crank her up…(Tracy, forget rebuilding John’s stuff – get the new stuff out J ).
