18 years ago we were in a very bad wreck caused by a ladder blowing out of the bed of a pick-up, the car next to us swerved, lost controll and took us head on into a Jersey wall at 60+.  I still will not get anywhere near a truck with ladders or junk in the back.

working down in Mobile at the museum this week and returning home late Friday.  Depending on how exhausted I am and how my back feels I will drive up Saturday early morning.  Playing it by ear for now.

V8 club cookout, and I'm the cook.  Possibly I can make one before the end of the year.

Went once years ago on accident, didn't know it was going on.  Lots and lots of cars.  Someday I will go on purpose.

Tomorrow and Monday are services for Scott.  I was intending to attend tomorrow, if just for a little. Certainly going to drive the Formula.   Anyone else intending on going?

Car is ready and I'm booked at the hotel.  Charlie let me know how much I owe to the club.  Is there a meet up on Friday to roll up together?

Still hoping to come but working down in the Gulf the days before and running out of time but looks promising.   Been fixing stuff one after another trying to get ready.   Just lost the passenger side rack bushing and have one on order from Rodney, should be here in time.  Last thing to fix I believe.   I checked and rooms are still available through all the major hotel sites.

Try a laser thermometer to be sure of the temps you are reading.  Even a cooking one can be put between the radiator fins to check.   You can check at any point along the system looking for hot and cool spots.  Fiero's have been known to get air bubbles in the system when the radiator has been opened, possibly one occurred or moved to an undesirable spot.

Feel the cooling pipes running front to rear along the rockers to see if one got crushed flat and to see if they are getting warm or not.  Putting it up on stands to do this is best but you can reach most of it lying on your back along side the car if it is not lowered too much.

I made it in the black Formula.  Charlie had a breakdown on the way and did not.  The Triumph club was there in force and donated $1000 to the old folks home general fund.  There were about 15 cars in attendance mix of older and newer specialty stuff, probably could have handled another 10 in the space there was.  Free food and Mexican glass bottle cokes were very good.  Residents seemed to enjoy the show.

I will be there in one car or another.  I passed the work onto the V8 club, not sure if any will come but you never know.
