Until all that happens I'm stuck driving the ToyoValdiez.

What do you need for that truck? Maybe I can come up with some parts around here in the gorge.

So being that we are all done with January and it's now February.
What day and where do we want to meet at?
I was thinking that the 21st at Hanger Inn.

Well?

21st sounds good to me. I'll be up in the f150 again. That thing is so easy to drive, I've considered the idea of selling the mustang for it..

Since I have my Crew Cab back I can comfortably fit multiple people, so if ANYONE wants to carpool from Olympia to the meet just let me know.

Well after all it is just an R&R and flush the cooler
and lines. They are shipping it with a new oil to air
cooler so they don't have to deal with that one just the
one in the radiator.

I guess with a lift and all the fancy tools it doesn't take too long.

When I was at the Toyota shop I did a trans in a fwd Dodge Stealth in 5 hours with all the nice tools, would have been a couple days in a driveway.

Oh do I understand how much time the right tools
and a lift will cut from the time to do a job.

I was told 11 Hrs book time to R&R with a cooler flush.

The fancy trans jacks and a 4 post lift would be nice.

Well look at it this way. Gas and diesel aren't over or even
near $4.00 a gallon right now.

Last month I didn't even eat, just drank iced tea as I had dinner at home before I left.

Really it's pretty much my only socializing during the month, so in the bigger picture it's extremely cheap.

Other than the not eating part it is the only thing I am getting out
to do. That is if you don't count the Dr. appointments.
