    A productive day!

    So, interest in the 289 was starting to wane until this week. Took some time off from work, wrapped up some nagging items, cleaned the garage and put tools away. Today Mike Forte came over for the first start.

    Oh. My. God.

    What a glorious sound. Realized that I forgot to start the video, but grabbed this snippet. The audio doesn't do it justice.

    Everything worked, when does that happen??

    I am now pumped to get this thing on the road!
