Itinerant Air-Cooled Greetings From Minneapolis
Posted: Sat Jun 08, 2013 5:27 am
Let's start off with the ambience . . . we'll call it "misty".:
The best I could do with the city skyline:
Minneapolis is a beautiful metropolis fetchingly set at the confluence of two rivers, and is named the "Water City" if you speak Dakota or something like that. It is. I had the night shot of the ages of Saint Paul but my camera thickly refused to capture it. It complained "AF" or something, like the aperture just couldn't open far enough to take the shot at 55 mph in anything under a shutter speed of 10 seconds. It was beautiful, though.
I enjoyed the Minneapolis Contigent greatly. Generous good people, living under a blanket of clouds perhaps, but with high spirits nonetheless. I have photographs of each visit except the Annual The Miz Oil Leak Eradication Attempt. We just sat against Chloe's hubcaps and drank beer anyway . . .
Now here is my problem. I am already out of time this morning. I must be in Anaconda Montana, 1109 miles away by Monday night. I have to back-track to Saint Peter this morning when I should be on the road westbound twelve hours ago. Why? you ask . . .
This, this, this . . . abomination kicked my dominoes all the way to the DeschutesRiverRendezVW. I left the Grifftenstein Family hard at work on June 5th with a promise to return and help reassemble the engine:
Every minute I dawdle makes my average speed necessary to get to Anaconda go up. I have not had time to track down the generator fan imbalance, so I really can't allow my cruising speed to increase anything beyond 62 mph.
Will join in your thread, Muede Stephan, enjoyed our sprightly conversations sprinkled through the impact gun racket.
Belle Plaine, breathe deep the refreshing air, we have inhaled our quota of fetid air for the year if not the decade.
Grifftenstein, we have 4 1/2 hours starting at 8:30AM this morning, to get your 1700 running! But we can show off the tailgate seal and latch area paint job regardless.
TheMiz, you and Vanna White deserved a full day, and shall be the first priority next summer.
Oh, it is sunny this morning here in Lakeville Minnesota.
Colin
(please say a prayer for Chloe's engine's health through the next 72 hours!)
