Hello All!


Have lurked for the last week and have found this list to be
delightfully full of good ideas.


Here are some of my stats:
I took delivery of "IO" (one of Jupiter's moons) in March '86.
She turned 100,000mi last Wednesday (all but 13mi are mine).
All but engine (60k, failed head bolt #4), tires, brakes, battery,
windscreen, and H20 pump are original.
Has "weekender package", i.e. rear seat folds into great bed.
Modified center seat layout, i.e. rotated 90 degrees to conform with
Colorado MV so that service-dog (Tuge) can ride directly behind me.
Outside of minor parking lot stuff, no rust and very solid.


Could write a book about the great travels we've had together.


Lon T. and all-around Travel-Dog, Tuge (short for tooo-huge)
Clifton, Colorado (Western high desert country)
