More progress on the buggy, got the front end just about sorted out suspension wise. will have 14"" of travel total. Still have some work to do on reinforcing the a-arms and fabbing the right side suspension mounts.

Got the engine put together with fresh rings and gaskets, motor will be ready to mount when I get some all-thread and finish fabricating tabs. Tested the electric starter and it works very good.

Extra points for displaying it on the kitchen table. I can't tell the difference between Cinnamon Toast Crunch and the much cheaper Cinnamon Toasters from Walmart.

I get the cereal in a bag which I assume is a similar generic. I like it fine.

I was disgusted to discover the knockoff raisin bran I bought from my local grocery store the last trip was more expensive than Kellogg's Raisin Bran! I almost always check the price per ounce before I buy a generic product, but they fooled me this one time. Never again!

Amen!
I also fear for the woman who takes FastDoc in divorce proceedings.
