Savannah

Tybee Island and Savannah

We got up this morning and met my folks at the beach. We rode into to downtown Tybee in the Flex and did a little shopping. Had lunch at Fannies then headed back into Savannah to meet the rest of the family. Mary and I made a trip to the SCAD book store for some gear. We both got a hoodie and a shirt.

After we gathered with the family we headed down to river street for some shopping and drinks.

Mary, dad and I have ship shots! It's a dollar house shot you get when a ship passes through. After drinks we headed to the islands for dinner at Cafe Loco.

They had Strongbow too!!

After dinner we headed back and had ice cream at Leopold's. It's owned by a movie producer.

Savannah trip

Carolyn Mary and I drove to Savannah last night to meet up with mom dad Beth Jim and Grandmom today. They are flying in this morning. It's strange being back but I'm excited to see the place. Hopefully the weather stays nice.

How about the suite Caroyln got us?! In a new Hampton inn and cheap.

Fall league softball game 3

Finally made it back into the lineup last night as we took the field for game 3. I DH, hitting 10th. Our bats were hot! I went up in the first with a man on second and third and no outs! 2 RBI single! The inning ends 10 - 0. The D held up and only allowed one run! My next at bat was an RBI double and I slid into second under the short. I was knocked in and we went on to second a few more runs. My 3rd and finally at bat was a RBI fly out. The game ended after the 4th inning with the slaughter rule. Thanks the Michael's inside the park homer! Finished up 18-1! That's more like it!

They had lost the previous 2 games without me so I guess I'm a lucky charm, hehe.

Evo Update

Michael, James and I put the Evo back together over the weekend and took it to Factech. They were having a dyno day so it was a little crazy and I didn't get to speak with Mark. Man the thing smoked bad the whole way there. Poor thing.

Got an email yesterday and Mark has found the culprit. After a compression and leak down check:

Compression check
1- 124 2- 125 3-125 4-122
Leak down
1- 13% 2- 14% 3 - 14% 4 - 14%

They stuck a boroscope down cylinder 4 and found some piston melting around the piston crown. It's on the intake side, which would be a sign of too much ignition timing. It will have to be bored out .20 and new pistons are now a must.

I planned to build the motor in the future so it can handle my power goals so this isn't too upsetting. So the plan now is to completely rebuild the bottom end. So now I'm awaiting a quote for parts, labor and a tune.

Fingers crossed its within my budget...yeah right.
