Hey, we hit +2 for a high that day...

Waldo forgot to mention that he spent some time in an odd town... one where they seemed to go through great pains to say that they were NOT odd. The water tower proclaimed that they were not odd, the Library oozed non-difference. Only the University was not taking part in this a-diverse festival, calling itself Illinois State University.

 

Waldo saw a big sign that he thought was addressed specifically at him: In 2 foot tall letters, it said, "Northwet", and some other stuff too unimportant to read. Well, it turns out it said Northwest, but it was an honest mistake.

 

Waldo was also VERY happy for the opportunity for his first shower after 2 time zones. So were the people that put me in the yard and hosed me down.

 

Shortly, Waldo will be on the move again, heading north and still farther East, bypassing the "Crossroads of the World" to end up in New England. ETA is tomorrow.

 

 

 

oh... mid-morn, probably.

Waldo is on the move!

 

After a visit to Lowe's and a very nice dinner, he will forsake the comforts of home (even if not his ) for the freedom of the open road. Just another 12-14 hours and the Coupe will be home.

 

Thanks go out to Jim, Patty, and Miles.

Miles Fox?!?!

I was thinking the same thing. But more like, "Man, I bet Miles is eating his heart out"

And Pat is doing it all by himself(driving and all).

Its 2 AM EST and I just got back from Pauls...I think we did it!!! I think we made room for the coupe!!!! 12 hours of cleaning and discarding alot of stuff but I believe we did it!.Dave and Melis and (Oh I feel stupid..I cant remember the other guys name:banghead: ) Paul and myself got alot of work done.We were hoping to be there when the joyous moment occured.

 

I feel very bad that I had to leave before we were finished bringing everything back in but I was really tired. Anyway, going to probably head back down tomorrow morning to get the look on Pauls face on film!Dave and Melis better post the pics from today..some of them have to be classics!!

Hi my name is Matt....

 

Matt

yo yo yo subaru land! i made it over here to ol jim wood's this weekend, knowing pat was on his way too, we hung out in the garage till 4:30 am playing with soobs till he got here.

 

pats a nice guy, some interesting conversation. i told him since he stopped to not run off so quick!!!!!

 

yo pat how was the trip from here? there may be some snow behind you, or on the way back, but around these parts the higway dept is up on their road maintenance.

 

pat dumped off some of his extra parts here to pick them up on the way back, dont need it for another 1200 miles

 

anyway french lick is in INDIANA

I just closed the joint up.I'll do a Pat-nap,err uhh,catnap and be back late in the morning.Let me sleep till at least 9AM please.

Ahhh another fine day it was. Got home roughly about 5:30am. We would've stayed longer, but Dave's got some personal business going on. It was nice to meet Matt and do some damage to the church <it really does have a floor and walls>

 

Well, my butt is of to dreamland! Be safe and have fun!

 

Connie ~ Sandra says hi:lol:

Glad to see you guys got back safe.There's no place like a place with a floor and walls!

A floor and walls are useless without a roof.

A floor and walls are useless without a roof.

A floor and walls without a roof is known in common parlance as a "Box, open, 1 ea". In this case, probable very good for catching rain and snow. It is, therefore, NOT useless...assuming that one wishes to catch and store rain and snow.

 

So there.

A floor and walls are useless without a roof.

Very true, but we have all seen Pauls Roof (ceiling) before...

 

It is the floor and wall that have only existed by way of faith, since the are so rarely seen.

.....and somewhere,at sometime in the wee hours,a man can now go to sleep smiling.

So... where's Waldo?

Yeah, c'mon guys. We want to hear from Pat, so we know he survived the trip Want to see pics of the delivery and all.

Pat should be out of Abbottstownvilleburgton PA and on his way to oHIo.

 

It was a quiet arrival,just me there to greet him.No film crew,no flashbulbs going off,no confetti.... It was good and cold,if I can put those two words together so when we went to rinse the car off and wash my wife's car everything was freezing up.

 

Got back and Subafreak Jesse was there. Another hero enters the scene.He and I scurried like mice getting all the stuff out of the front on my place so we could fit the car it.I insisted Pat chill out and not help,but he did some.Pat got the rig undone and we rolled it off the dolly and up into the shop.Later Jesse and Pat helped put stuff back in with Jesse seemingly making 2 or 3 trips to my one!Huge help!!!Thanks Jesse!!

 

I'll be back later.all's well on this end,talked to Pat at 4:30 and he was in Abbotts......something.

I posted something in the marketplace thread that 86Subaru has going.....i think.

Sorry I missed it...I was stranded (my father had the Forester, I had the Beetle and the van to pick from) and it was snowing hard up here.

 

Let me know if you still need help.

Hey Paul did you like those fenders?

Waldo has had a rough couple of days... As Paul set he got to Abbottstown circa 4:30pm on MLK-day. Only office preson in, no one to help Waldo move the future Waldette-mobile form its wrong-sloped parking spot. After trying to get it to move (known tranny-issue + cold + battery), I tried to drag it out with inadequate materials. Until I realized I had 20 feet of grade-8 chain. DUH!

 

Pulled it out, still couldn't get it up on dolly, plus still had to disable/remove driveshaft (AWD). After 4 hours in 15degF weather, I gave up and got a room. Spent a couple hours dealing with borderline frostbite, some of it in odd places.

 

2 hours this morning with mechanic and hookup, and I am off. Stopped by Library for some internet time.

 

I will likely be on my way to O-hi-O in a few minutes.

Hey Paul did you like those fenders?

 

Never got 'em,but thanks for trying for me.
