On the ground yesterday and on the road today.  I spent some time 
bedding the brakes, whew... what a smell.  I noticed my GEN light was on 
constantly with the amp gauge showing discharge.  DRAT!  I wonder why 
that is.... could be a 20 year old alternator I guess, but.....  well 
I'll have to investigate it.

I -still- have a stinkin' thunk up front over light bumps.  This is 
starting to piss me off.  I currently have the right front wheel off to 
check wheel bearing play.  So far, I can't find any, but I've just 
printed a page from the shop manual and will do the procedure again.

I can't seem to get the smell of hot brakes out of my nose.... grrrr.

I head for a Tech Inspection sometime this week and hopefully a Driving 
School here in Spokane on April 3-4.

Team Pantera Racing is starting to roll for 2010.  Get those cats on the 
street.
