Hey all,

     Still haven't got the liftgate dampners in.

     Do have some miracle polish that a guy was
selling at the covered bridge festival to try and
spiffy up the outside, regardless of the rust.

     We have rain here that I'd like to send to
California.  Heard the EPA turned down Russia's offer
of one of their water planes.

     Intrigued by the idea of some listmembers using
their Westies as escape vehicles/emergency housing.  I
pray that they come back and find nothing out of
sorts.

     Heard some people died because of a few firebugs.
 As the son, and grandson of a firefighter I think
that arsonist should be hung out to dry.

     I won a cylinder head on eBay, which I will pay
for when I get paid on Wednesday.  It still leaves one
other cylinder head to get, but the guy that selling
me this one claims he got the details on how to
rebuild the cylinder heads off of the list.  He said
it wasn't too difficult to do, but I know I don't have
those kind of tools.  A guy I know may have, but he's
hard to get in touch with.

     Looking forward to cleaning out my garage this
weekend, and preparing it for the Colonel (our 1984
non-working Westy) to move in.  I had thought about
just moving everything out of the garage, and then
moving it back in around him.  There may be enough
space in the garage for me to move everything over,
and put the Colonel in smack center of the garage, ut
I'm not too terribly sure about that option.  What
would you guys on the list do?  I don't want to
disrupt my temple of VW collection, nor my son's
temple of R/C mobiles collection.  We also,
interestingly enough, have files in our garage.

     Think the idea of keeping the Westies off of the
winter salt is a good one.  I plan on getting the
Taurus back from that guy, but I have got to come up
with more money.

     Been seeing a lot of Sprinters around lately.
Not sure why.

     RE:  Cabriolet.  I saw one for sale here in IN.
VW is one of few manufacturers who insulate their
convertible tops.  I don't know about the
snow-worthiness of said auto, but if it has the
factory top, or even a factory replica replaced top,
the driver should be pretty warm in the winter time.

     I really would like to get my Westy up and
running before winter hits, but it looks like that's
going to be next week.

Oh well.

Signing off for now.

Kyle.
