Sent PM's to a couple of others (Cougar and Grant...). Haven't heard from Line of Birds as to cuisine of her choice - not Thai or Chineese. Was thinking of Tony Roma's, or Sorrentos, or Garcia's in Eagle River, or ? (Open to suggestions).

I've always like Gallo's over on Dimond.

That's fine with me. Mexico in AK, and La Cabana are good, too.

haggard is on its way. We are leaving at 5:15 pm.. I'm gonna call you guys if I break down k?

 

see u guys tommorow. gimme a call

Sure, give me a ring.

Torxxx, you got my phone number? I'll be in class after 10 am, but feel free to call any time of the night if you need help.

 

 

Since I'll be in class until 4 or 5, could somebody post or PM me about where we're meeting at?

I'm all over it. I'll post the time and place and PM you. I'd even call and leave a message, but don't have your number.

Thanks Matt.

 

Posting is probably best, since there's a computer in the classroom that I can use. I'll PM you my new phone # for future reference.

I just got back to town and read about the meeting. Has anything been decided yet as to where this meeting is going to be? I may be able to attend if I feel up to it.

Waiting on Torxxx to show, but it's starting to look like Gallo's on Dimond about 6 / 6:30. Will firm it up completely by mid afternoon tomorrow. Hope to see you there.

It's set - Gallo's on the corner of Dimond and Arctic in Anchorage - 6 P.M. All are welcomed to attend. Love to see you there. Moosens, if you show, I'll buy drinks until you pass out.

I found out my wife set up a dinner meeting with some friends. Sorry, I won't be able to make it.

Sorry to have missed you, but there will be other get togethers. Have fun.

Hope you guys are havin a good time. We had an important delivery expected, got stuck waiting here, and the driver has yet to show up. Well if we had gone, we would probably still be there havin' a good time! Gotta go, I think it's here now.

You're right. It was a good time, and it was great to finally meet Torxxx and his better half. Good to see Kelly again and I was impressed with how grown up "Roxanne" has become. Sorry we missed you LOB, but we'll meet up some time in the near future. Kelly may be interested in your wagon.

Howdy, Who's Kelley? snowman?

 

Delivery still hasn't made it. Oh well. (It's the second of my El Caminos) He was pretty late in the evening last time too.

Hope you have a nice stay in Anchorage Torxx!

Yeah, I'm Kelly. Sorry we missed you. Matt told me about your wagon a little. What's the story with this car?

I would have liked to been there and meet you all. Perhaps next time one of these things happens again I will be able to make it.

 

PS: If anyone is interested in a good set of studded snowtires mounted on the white spoke Jackman rims let me know. I am selling the set of 4.

It's free for the taking, only condition s are you gotta take the whole thing, and asap! No engine, interior is not totally complete, and dismantled, been sitting for a little over a year. missing a few other parts as well, not sure what.I can set it up if you'd like to go see it. It's in anchorage, and I do have a clear title.

Oh yeah, wagon (88gl) is burgundy, with gray interior. any other questions, PM me or msn mesenger if I'm on. Up for grabs everyone, If it doesn't find a home SOON, it'll go to the crusher, as I can't store it there any longer.

hehe.. well I made it back to fairbanks.. Started the car this morning, let it warm up for 15 minutes, came outside and the cab was filled with smoke. Blew both heater core hoses. I've never knew the temp gauge would almost touch the 0 on the tach... Got it running.

 

Left anchorage at 8:30 pm, made it to Wasilla and blew a upper rad hose (4th one this fall) But all in all we still made it in 5 and a half hours.

 

Nice meeting you guys while I was down there. Thanks for dinner Matt.

My pleasure. Let us know when you're headed back this way.

Torxxx,

 

It sounds like your radiator cap is not relieving pressure as it should if you are blowing hoses like that or, exhaust gases are getting into the coolant and building excessive pressure. Good to hear you made it back to Fairbanks ok.

Hey Torxxx, did haggard survive all of that okay? Are you doing head gaskets soon or just replacing hoses?

 

 

*If you do have to pull the heads and they are cracked, I've got a set of SPFI heads that should be in good shape (200k, ran fine) back in Haines that I could get for you at Thanksgiving.

yeah I'm starting to think that one of my heads is cracked. Not from this trip down, but sometime before. I get a little white smoke out the tail pipe about 35 percent of the time I'm driving. This time (after the major overheat) I noticed a sheen (slight film on top of the antifreezE) so I'm guessing its the 1 & 3 head thats bad. Found out the cause of the major overheat.... Aux Fan didnt turn on.

 

Kelly I will let u know about the heads. I think I got some at work (just a matter of digging for them in the engine parts box)
