RE: [MarcosManiacs] Spring arrives in Ontario

Yeah, yeah, yeah.  I noticed that about one nanosecond after I hit the send
button.  Outlook is very unforgiving.
 
Either it's 3,000 RPM, or my tach wasn't working nearly as well as I thought
it was.

Wow, Ron, 100mph at 300 RPM. How fast does it go when you really wind her
up?

At last, a sunny weekend here with no rain, so time to get the Mantis out of
storage.  Took the cover off, key in the ignition, full choke, and crank.
Had to crank a little, but finally the engine sprang to life.  Careful check
in the engine compartment and underneath - no fluids gushing out.  Good
sign!  Out of the driveway, test the brakes - seem to be working well on all
4 wheels.  Up to the gas station to check the tire pressure - all 4 are spot
on.  Around the local streets to warm things up - guages all working, clutch
is good.  Onto the highway, find a side road, then foot to the floor and
wind it up through the gears - yep, still 100 mph at 300 RPM in top
overdrive.
 
So, bring on the summer!
