Yea, I'm doing real good. Still taking it slow (a little). I heard my 
Rumely was there and did a pretty good job pulling the sled. It's a 
pretty powerful engine. I made a new piston for it and planed the 
valve. Plus new rings help too. I wish I could have seen her running 
there, but I'm sure he'll have her at some other shows.

Take care,

Blake
