I am so bummed this week as I had really hope to make this event. It
would have been my first Vanagon outing. As mentioned in earlier posts
I have a coolant leak that I don't trust to drive outside of Indy. I
was going to give it my best to fix it during this past couple weeks
but other things got in the way. The wife got her walking papers (her
company closed it's doors) and my Mac shop (helpmymac.com) got
burglarized earlier this week (thank God I have an alarm system).

Ah well, it's Friday and I'm venting. My apologies. Thankfully my
business is doing OK (sadly thanks to a crappy economy) so all things
considered it's not so bad.

I do hope things have worked out for you Pete, what with your tranny
problems. Heck I had even toyed with the idea of towing my Vanagon up
there behind my Expedition :o)

Anyhow, I hope everyone has a good time. Looks like a good weekend
ahead! My hope it to make the next event which I think is in the Spring.
