Thanks for asking, Jet.
I went with a fellow worker friend and yes, it was enjoyable. Last couple days here it's been over 100F outside so driving in a cool, air conditioned car is not so bad, especially since most of the way the scenery across northern Pennsylvania driving through the mountains is very nice. Until the battery got too low, we listened to my itouch since my car has a direct connection to feed its output through the quite good JBL stereo system I have in that car, my '07 RAV4. I need to get a cable that allows recharging the itouch in the car since I don't have one of those. Lately I've been copying every CD I own into my itouch and have about 7 gigs of music in there now. We listened to Jimmie Cliff's soundtrack album from "The Harder They Come"; Best of Van Morrison; Lead Zepplin IV; John Lee Hooker's "The Best of Friends" album; Ry Cooder's "Jazz" album; Blind Faith; Willie Nelson's "Across the Borderline"; Emmylou Harris' "Cowgirl's Prayer"; Crosby, Stills, and Nash; Easy Rider; Famous Blue Raincoat; Flyer from Nancy Griffith; Matthew Sweet's "Girlfriend"; Paul Simon's "Graceland"; John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman; John Prine; a couple of the "Live at the World Cafe" albums I get from WXPN; Iris Dement's "My Life"; Neil Young Unplugged; Beatles' Revolver; Enya's Shepherd Moons and Watermark; Boz Scaggs' Silk Degrees; Sade's Soldier of Love; Santana's Supernatural; Lucinda Williams' Sweet Old World; Bob Dylan's The Times They Are a Changin'; Toni Childs' Union; U2's Until the End of the World; the Cure's Wish...then ran out of power
and listened to whatever radio we could get in the mountains.
I had a mediocre steak dinner last night. Three loose/wet scrambled eggs with thick sliced beefsteak tomato for breakfast, with a glass of cranberry juice and coffee. I visited General Electric, one of our good customers, who manufacture locomotives in Erie...cool factory. No souvenirs, sorry. In fact, I was exhausted when I got home since I didn't get enough sleep last night, stayed up way too late watching a car show on TV about a famous collector hunting for cars to buy and sell, with interesting facts about the specific cars involved. So what about the chicks - bikes? I have viewed such sites and enjoyed them. I have no real interest in the NBA hoopla...don't even know what the hoopla is about. Yes I have ridden a horse many times, also mules a few times. My sister used to own a horse. Ahhh, my Supra is still close to my heart...as much as a hunk of formed metal and plastic can be. My new and unique custom twin turbo setup finished as of the last couple of months is just totally awesome, surpassed all my expectations for responsiveness and power; on normal 93 octane pump gas it made 620whp which translates (with the typical 15% driveline losses of my 6 speed) to 730 hp from the motor; I'll clarify that I spray 50%/50% methanol/distilled water just ahead of the throttle body to suppress detonation, you can see the pump in the lower right where the battery used to be, now relocated to the trunk...it's quite healthy and fun, so much so that I can't imagine needing to change anything from now on. I'm sort of proud that some highly knowledgeable and respectable Supra motorheads around the world have said things like "that's the best powerband I've ever seen from a 2JZ". I hope to hit the track with it very soon to see how it feels now on a roadcourse. Here's a current photo of the underhood:
