So I got a call this afternoon that my stuff was ready for pick up at the PC shop. Made my way there on the way back home, good ol Bob was in and happily showed me the completed head which he did himself like the rest of the engine. Pulled up a large box full of my parts, so I reached in to unwrap one and check it out. To my utter disappointment, it wasn't Black Magic, it was Paccar Black.
Me: Bob, this isn't black magic, this is way to shiny.
Bob: The guys did what you asked on the work order, weren't there some pieces that were paccar and some black magic?
Me: Yes, three pieces were paccar, rest were black magic.
Bob: It will take a special kind of stupid to screw up such a large order, I'm sure its in the order form.
Me: Well Bob, I hate to tell you, but I think that stupid works for you.
Bob: Let me look at the work order here...
I was pretty pissed and about to let out a scream, then I noticed poor Bob was embarrassed and outraged at the same time. He just said, I'll redo them myself, lets write it up again. I just wanted to avoid anymore screw ups and said just make it all black magic, no need to redo the three. So I guess, I'll have to make yet another trip or two, but on the bright side it won't be redone by staff. Obviously I'm not going back there unless Bob makes the time to do everything himself (doubtful). Its much less hassle to load it all up on a truck and drive down to GA to Powderman.
At least the head is done and ready to leave for JMR's. Some of you (at least one of you) will recognize this head, it once belonged to Bill's calendar girl.
