May 15, 2009 at Lang's

Some very slow progress has been made on the 1959 Corvette from Hell.  The engine is almost finished and can be started once the distributor arrives and the fuel line is attached.  The exhaust manifolds are in place and the exhaust system is being built.  The rear bumperettes need to be attached along with some other minor trim pieces.  We are waiting for the speedometer cable, and the windshield wiper switch.  Best guess?  Three weeks.

Update on May 25, 2009.  Frank, Doug, and I went to Lang's today and saw my girl friend.  She has come along a little.  The speedometer cable and wiper switch are on the way, the accelerator linkage is installed.  I think all the parts that Walden had are at Lang's or on the way.  About two weeks I think.

Update on June 2, 2009.  Lang called, said he had started the engine!  He has yet to finish the exhaust system, but most of the car is done.  He thinks by Sunday or so.

Cinnamon Milk

The boys came over today and, because we were low on certain items, we went to the grocery store.  Evan was certain that he had seen cinnamon milk in a store and he wanted some. Albertson's had none and two employees there had not heard of it.  Seth was happy with his strawberry milk, but Evan had to have cinnamon milk.  

We got on-line and found no reference to cinnamon milk as a product in a grocery store.  But we did find a recipe.  So Evan and I made some cinnamon milk today.  It was, well, not that good; but Evan loved it and drink quite a bit.
