Congratulations. I always read your posts carefully because it's obvious you know what you're talking about and are a reasonable man.

Hope you got a raise for this.

I hope I do. At least this will last for a while, I have to give up my "Employee of the Month" parking spot next week!

P.S. I know it looks like and Easter Card or something, but it didn't scan well, it looks much better in person (i.e. no pastel colors). The purple is actually Gray.

Glenn, PROM burning is on hold right now. My JET AFPR didn't come with a jam nut, so I can't maintain constant fuel pressure, and that makes burning a "good" chip impossible. I will have to wait untill I am ready to pull the plenum off again to remove the adjuster screw so I can add a jam nut. Even Red Loctite won't hold it still. I don't know why.

John might be able to start burning his PROMs hopefully soon. I know he has been getting ready to convert to S/D. That will be fun working on a chip for his car!

BCT,

Congratulations on the hard work and dilligence! I could tell by reading your comments over the past year that you are superior in intellect, skill, professionalism, and character to what many people associate with an auto technician. You are advancing the profession to an analytical science rather than taking the role of follower and part-changer. Now you have the certificate to affirm what most of us have already known and respected you for.

(What took them so long to figure out that you are among the best of the best? I could have told them that months ago, and I'm just an idiot!)

Later,
Vader

I would like to extend my congradulations, also. I have learned quite a lot from your website and so it is obvious how intelligent and knowledgeable you are. Thanks to skilled people like yourself, average people like me can maintain a beautiful car.
