Pretty good. I just got home last night from Corpus. Met some cool Z/G people there, as well as some other cool car guys. Every Tuesday they have a meet at Sonic. An "average" meet has about 40 cars - all imports. Both nights I went, there were three jackass guys in huge diesel trucks trying to act hard... lol.

I removed a Borla and installed an HKS exhaust for my buddy with an '06 G.

Let's see.... oh yeah, the bushing on my driver's side transverse link (aka rear lower control arm, front suspension) went **** up and started squeaking really bad on me - a little silicone spray lube took care of the squeak until I get the bushing or link replaced. Also, the constant, steady 30 mph wind in Corpus apparently slung somebody's door into my passenger side door and left a quarter-sized paint chip and a 2-inch dent. Naturally, they didn't leave a note.

The work was boring as hell - but I knew that when I volunteered for the trip. None of us could understand how all the people we were working with (great people, btw) could do the job day-in, day-out for the many months or years they have been working there. All they do is open boxes that are delivered to them, verify the item in the box is what is supposed to be there, then either deliver it to the depot across the street or store it in the warehouse until it is ordered by another unit. It's a good job (federal, about $18-$20/hr plus benes), but we (the group I went with) got really bored, really quick. However, in two weeks, we classified about 1000 parts totalling $95,693,000ish, second only to a group that came a few moths ago, who did a little over $96 million and looked at over 1600 parts.

Hey Mark, something I just thought of... one of the guys I met (spooze on G35Driver)...

When I got to talking to him, I thought of you. I thought you worked a lot being the restaraunt guru... this dude is the chef manager at a restaraunt AND the manager of a bar at a separate location. He puts in about 80 hrs/week.

Both of you guys work very, very hard and many hours to earn the things and life you have. Bravo!
