July 1, 2008 - I haven't had the chance to do much work on the car for the past week due to Real Life getting in the way.
But the good news is that it's actually getting pretty close to being ready. My to-do list on the whiteboard is getting shorter and more trivial. There are still some logistical questions to be answered such as getting the car to Newfoundland (time to do a little work on the trailer) and how we do everything when we're there, but it's coming along.
The most productive thing I did last week was go to an interview with USCIS, previously known as the INS. It turns out that Janel and I are as married as we think we are, and I was approved for a green card. This is what prevented me from taking part in the Targa last year, of course. So it's a big relief. That delay did work in my favor, allowing me to build a better car and change codrivers. It's hard to believe that a year ago, the car was barely self-propelled!
