Made it!



Glad to hear you made it OK! It was cool meeting you too, Mr. SaltyWeasel!

Other than yelling at my ass for trying to get into bed with a scalp stained
with clutch remains (even though I washed my hair twice!), the wife spared
me!  :)

Hopefully, we'll cross paths again soon.

G/L with the '83,

JT

Fairly uneventful except for not having heat (its stuck in A/C mode, so
every time I turned the fan on, the radiator fan would come on and cool the
car to such a point that the heat was totally weak).  Also, one of the rear
tires wasn't balanced right (mk1 rims with new tires), so I had a fun shimmy
at 75 or so...oh, and the low beams are aimed badly.  All this added up to
major fun as Wyoming and Northern Colorado were a Ice Rink with blizzard
conditions.  (THANK GOD I bought those new tires guys....seriously.)

> Major thanks to Mark Hausler for a garage, tools, beer and a couch for the
night.  Tobias, for the car and organizing all the parts!  Tosha, for coming
in and doing some MAJOR wrenching!(When you showed up Tosha, you really got
us moving/motivated...thanks again!)  Jeff for wrenching and some laughs
:-).  Queen Amidala, ER, I mean Raffi *grin* for the laughs, wrenchin and
pickin up that H4 on the way in.  You guys really make this list what it is,
a group of *friends* willing to help each other out.  Glad I got to meet
Jeff and Raffi for the first time, you guys both rock and fit right in here!
(Jeff, I hope your wife didn't kill you...hehe...Tosha, Mark and I got done
at about midnight...quite the appropriate time for a tire chirping test
drive, don't ya think?)
