That's cool Mark. No sense prolonging the 'wet sponge' effect. I'll take it easy tomorrow and git things together.

Ain't going to make it, sorry. Dealing with lingering .. stuff .. from last Friday, plus I haven't gotten the dash of the Bus back together, still getting the wiper system straightened out & working. Just haven't had time...

Have a beer for me.

Thanks .. I think I can probably swing a "day trip" out on Saturday in the Scirocco as long as the road isn't too gnarly .. how is the road to Rho Creek anyway? Relative to 4610 around Squaw Lake or Hambone springs so I've got some reference.

Overnight is right out .. not only is the dash taken apart, so is the steering column. No wiper or turn signal switches, steering wheel is on the floor, wires everyplace... it's a mess. Getting better, but a mess all the same.

I've been holding ou on this post for a while, but it now looks like I won't be able to make this one. The rain last weekend slowed me down and things just aren't ready for this trip. Have a good time everyone, I'll tip a few and think of you.

How's the engine swap (or whatever you decided to do) going?

Slow slow slow...

I decided not to swap but to rebuild, just haven't had much time to do much.

Dag nab it Luke, we're behind the 8-Ball on our project, needing to wrap it up before heading south of the border in just over a week, so fell off the fence on the stay-at-home side. Have fun, may the Chantrelles be rampant.

Mushrooms everywhere. No one along to positively identify. The 'lil purple ones were coaxing me...but I didn't know whether they'd thrill me or kill me.

Hambone and I had a great time. And the weather cooperated! Only a bit of rain Friday night, and a good downpour on Saturday for 30 minutes or so. Other than that, DRY! (clammy, but not raining). Great spot, right along a babbling brook. Got dutch ovens 'tis time to cook. Great hikes and stoney stumbles, great food and wonky wumbles. A bit of music here and there, and Hal appearing from nowhere. Trees and moss and mushrooms grow, Hambone says "there's a trail, let's go" Cougar poop and black bear scat, tracks that lead and to there and that. Where's Dr. Seuss when you need him most? Prolly campin' on the coast. Other campers just say phooeey! Yeah, they're all with the Vanagons at Champooooy!
