Spent the morning running wiring for the coils, the instructions were an awesome help. Still have a miss on cylinder 3 which I was hoping it would fix but nevermind, this mod needed to be done. Time to pull the carbs back down again!

But in the meantime...

Got back inside the house this avo and my wife is having contractions. :-) I'm gonna be a Dad in the next 24 hrs I think!  :dance2:  :good2:  :yahoo:  :greeting:

Congrats on having just flushed the rest of your life down the crapper!  As a dad of three boys I speak with authority. :cray:  You will now be constantly poor, tired, wrong and failing to deliver on everyone's expectations of you.  There will be endless tears, crying, whining and moaning (and that's just the wife) and for the next 12 months you will constantly smell a little bit like mouldy milk!

Wish you and your other half all the best.  Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life!

Seeing as you will no longer have any free time to use you bike can you give the rest of the forum a heads up when you put it up for sale.
A life has been well lived, if you have planted trees under who's shade you do not expect to sit.

I'm told I'm cynical, pessimistic and generally miserable. I say that I'm realistic! The fact that reality sucks is not my fault!

Some posts are just dripping with so much optimism I can't stand it. Congratulations on your family addition, just think about the first time your child is big enough to sit on your FJ and their feet touch the passenger pegs. Time to demonstrate the meaning of Kookaloo....

Thank you all for your well-wishes. at 1.44pm today we got a little bundle of joy, she's called Zara Fleur Daw, she's 7lbs 1 ounce has all the right numbers of fingers and toes, and thank the gods above looks nothing like me.. although she is an IVF baby so you just have to hope they put the right recipe back in..  :good2:

Anyway, it's been a sleepless 36hrs so I'm hitting the sack...  :good2:

I wonder if Pumpkin Patch sells bike gear for new borns? Or should i just sew some Kevlar patches into the front-pack?

congrats,   girls are great and will always take care of daddy . so when you are old and broken you can live with her and be troublesome.

another perk is she will not swipe the keys to the fj and ride it without your knowledge.
