Back – again!

Well I got home this morning, after a fairly uneventful boat ride, and what can I say – I’m very contented!

The car pulled 278 kilowatts at the treads – I’m not too unhappy about that.

Here’s a dyno graph:

The guys doing the work unplugged the battery (naturally) but unfortunately I didn’t have the PIN code for the stereo.. so all the way through Melbourne last night I had no tunes! Thankfully that was nothing a quick stopover at the local Holden dealer in Devonport couldn’t fix and it’s all sorted now.

Then I picked up some slicks for the drags tomorrow – slightly used, but I think they’ll come in really handy!

OK enough about the car. I’m more happy about the fact that a certain female (why am I so averse to using people’s real names on the internet? I think it’s a throwback from a previous girlfriend) called me last night for a chat. Sent me an SMS today saying she was thinking of me. She’s going to drop over on Sunday (damn I wish it was sooner, but both our schedules suck a bit this weekend). She’s also going to come along with me on the cruise next weekend – so she’ll get to meet some of my friends and stuff.

My main concern now is the fact that I work a fair few weekends, and she has a Monday to Friday job, but I’m sure if things work out, we can deal with that. Mustn’t plan too far ahead, we’ve only just met!

But anyway. I’m a bit of a lovesick puppy at the moment who’s been breathing too many petrol fumes. Must go cook some dinner before I go for the obligatory Friday night cruise. 😀
