So things have been quite busy for me lately, between work and the cars and travelling and training.  So I about have my RX7 done, only a little more to go.  I did find out my dad sent me the wrong springs for the rear so she sits too high lol.  But I’ve got new springs on the way and I still need to get the brake lines and cables for the car.  It is still nice to see her sitting on her own feet tho, and I even got to roll her out a few weekends ago so I could clean up the garage and all.  So a few setbacks still but it’s coming together and in anycase we’ve hardly had the weather so far this summer to really take her out and have fun anyway.  Especially since she has no air system in her, just a general outside vent otherwise it’s windows down and that doesn’t work to well in the rain.  With that said I’m looking forward to having her back on the road and ready to go in August and be able to enjoy the tail of summer and then all of fall with her on the road.  As far as the cars go I also was able to swap out the shocks in the RX-8 and what a difference that made, now I have only the swaybars to put in and she is all set for now till I finally give in to building up that motor.
In other news I’ve been spending a lot of time in Manhattan at Thomson Reuters for various training and soon to build a slew of Red Hat Linux servers.  I had never really been to NYC or Manhattan before so I’ve been enjoying the heck out of it and getting to see the sights.  I even took a trip up the Empire State Building which was amazing.  I have found that peoples attitudes vary so much around that city, I have more then once felt like the people in the city had become so desensitized and closed to everything around them but then I find glimmers of hope and smiles and a passing ‘hello’ from people on the street.  So my next trip looks to be on the 20th of this month (July) and I’m really looking forward to it.
Lastly I have also been working heavily on my Sun Training including having taken the Solaris Admin 1 course and will be taking the test very soon, hopefully before the Solaris Admin 2 course next month.  The courses have been amazing fun and I do look forward to any and all upcoming ones that I will be taking.  Now sadly Sun has messed up my partner login on there site and I’m still trying to get it resolved but to no avail, I get no response from email or anything regarding it.  I am hoping to have this done before I take the test since I want everything to stay on one account and not spread across several.
Any way, I’ll try to keep up on posting and maybe get some pix of the car up and all.  But for now, peace out.
