just checking in

[c a l i b a n <caliban@sharon.net>]

	finally hit xmas vacation and got the rest of the
	year off.

	i wanted to say hi, yes, i am still here.  i don't
	have much to say because $8k of work to an urq kind
	of gets it going enough to not be messed up every 
	which way.  next will be r&r the window regulators.
	they work, at 50% or so, so their time draws nigh.
	that's about it.  i thought something was wrong 
	but i was really out of gas.  reliability is 
	totally dandy, brakes are updated and strong, he
	just slithers sideways around corners, totally in
	control.  tahoe has been fun.

	the a4 should be in by the second 10 days of january.
	i have a vin number and confirmation that it is on
	the boat.  also i snagged a personalized plate (now
	registered to the urq, to hold it) though all that's
	going to be a mess.  i am relatively certain that 
	neuspeed currently has a p-chip/k04/intake manifold
	kit for it, since i am told that the 00's (it's 
	pronounced "ought", get used to it folks, and nod 
	to your great grandparents ;) anyway the 00's have
	a regular cable rather than drive by wire system, 
	which apparently the passats have, so no chip yet
	for them.  i am thinking of going with new 
	dimensions down in santa clara.  very established
	shop, vw trained techs, etc.  that's also almost
	my home town, too, it's convenient.

	anyway, hi, and the solstice was yesterday.  the days
	only get brighter.
