I texted a follow up text to PTC this morning "reminding" him that I had asked for the stall tweak the last time it was there. He responded that they would have it done tomorrow. So if that is accurate I might be able to drive up there tomorrow, and have this thing back in my hands by days end.
This time, I'll have no issue paying for it ( I didnt last time either) That kind of service deserves payment.
Could I maybe have this thing back running one week after I took the thing apart?

Naaaahh
Im not tryin to be a F&F ricer boy doin tune tricks to make the thing “ sound” like it’s something it’s not. It either has a set of cams in it or it don’t. How it sounds after that will be as a direct result of it.

Not t venture further off-topic, but it's quite good. The cast and crew are actually professional actors and crew, mostly from the anime genre, so unlike most "fan films" it's actually done at a legitimately high quality and is a great way to waste about eleven hours. The cameos and guest stars are top-notch as well, and come from all over sci-fi.

Hmmm....well may have to watch it. Is it better than the drek that's been shoveled out in the last few years?

Mike's thread is quickly going off track. Too much cussing and throwing tools. Not enough car driving.

I’d be the same way, having no issue paying for some quick service...... but I bet he realizes they didn’t do what you asked last time, and he makes good on it this time around.

No, it was Anton Yelchin (Chekov), killed by Fiat-Chrysler's defective Jeep shifter design. Simon Pegg (Scotty) is still alive and well.

I looked at it for the...( I think it took maybe 45 seconds) that it took to think:

What kind of Klingon talking goober watches this? The original series gets a bye on this because it was 1968. Now doing a re-hash using the same set, the same story lines, and the same campy humor, gives anybody looking for something better to do full justification to dig out all of their D&D “get a life you freakin dreamer” game scenario cards, and continue to collect government funded unemployment while eating box after box of Twinkie's.
