knucklehead would sum it up brother...
I've NEVER done anything like this, nope, not me.
I've been on pretty good behavior until that point. Hopefully I haven't nixed conditional funding for future projects. Therein would lie a high sucktivity factor.

I've secured approval for Mag-HiTec front and rear differential covers and transmission oil pan for the ton truck at 90K mile service and if the Purple Bike finally blows the shifter shaft seal, I'll score a new Baker OD6 and 3.37 primary gearing. Would be heartbreaking if my oversight lead the JROC to disapprove my requirements.....especially since I POM'd almost a year in advance. All I can do is pray.

I've been mending fences. I think it is working. Trip this weekend is necessary, even though it will include a fun factor, so that isn't going to affect the decision. I'll just have to really suck up when I get home Saturday. Perhaps a big ribeye or T-Bone will move us pass my stupidity.
