I got her all put back together, just finished not an hour ago. The mufflers went on OH SO EASY, and things all around actually seemed to line up better and bolt up easier than they did on the first go-round. I took the time to reroute some wiring that I wasn't happy with, and I repaired some bullet connectors, as well. Then, I took my own sweet time cleaning her all up, getting all of my paw prints off of her. I out oil back in her, then spun the starter to pump it around. So far, so good.
Now - I need a break. I am worn out from all the work I've had to do on her over the last several days, and in order NOT to get frustrated or get in a hurry (or burned out), I am going to walk away from her for a few days. I've neglected a bunch of stuff around the house, too, and I need to get caught up.
So - a week or so, and I'll get back to starting her up.

Sarals, please read the following as pure humor.
OK, so she's buttoned up, lubed up, fueled up, it's time to fire up and gear up! Bring that girl back to life so you can relax. It's just like your first solo: You worked hard for it, but you were concerned that if it doesn't work out right, it's not going to be good. Just think, if you got her going before Christmas, what a present you would give to yourself and the rest of us that have followed your journey!!!!! We anticipate and look daily to see if you have gotten her up from a deep sleep yet. Come on Sarals, help us out here, we want this as bad as you do. Just get it done so we can praise and haze you. (Just my humor)
