Test drive

The car is running. It's damn quick for a pile of crap. Damn quick. We've done a few test (joy) rides around the 'hood. The neighbors hate us.

10 days to go.

Wow. What a week. Thursday night 11 people stood around a car that refused to start. We threw every part, diagnosis, and backyard remedy possible at the car - and eventually called it a day around midnight. It was apparent we were chasing more than a single problem. But we wouldn't learn how many gremlins remained until Saturday...

Optimism bites.

What a mess.

The cool thing about this kind of project is you learn a lot. You learn about ambition, patience, and determination. But, more than anything, you learn about optimism. Typically optimism is a good thing to have - until it's misdirected, then it's disastrous. Late Sunday, our optimism turned into a big steaming pile of disaster.

Quarter 'til Midnight.

The hours are getting late. Literally. We've maintained constant momentum, but our long strides have slowed to a shuffle in recent weeks. Not this weekend. We're getting shit done.

3 weeks to go.
