Cheers - Richard

Thanks RD! And that was with the Webers I rebuilt (first time ever) and set up from scratch without tuning. Better response than I deserve, I think, and only to get better from here.

I'm almost sad that I'll be putting her back in storage in a week, and leaving to go fly fishing for 12 weeks. But life and circumstances have overtaken me, and my trip is an effort to put my life back together. Circumstances will look out for themselves, as they always do!

Edit: BTW here's the link to a higher resolution version that Se?or Seis just sent me:

Also BTW I wonder how many will notice the Miata cap that I wear when driving. Sort of a private in joke that apparently only I understand (or, more likely, that only I find humorous ).

Nice, Jim. I did notice the Miata cap and I find it humorous, along the same lines of me putting a Lotus license plate frame on a Miata I once owned.

Sweeeeeet..................twelve weeks of fly fishing. Not much better than pan fried rainbows and eggs in the morning................
Have a nice trip.

Oh' forgot, your car is nice too.

Thanks Greg. Did you also notice the vanity plate? A bit more subtle, but in the very same vein!

Thanks Mike. I'm carrying a fry pan with me, so I plan to have the trout spend less that 15 minutes between the stream and my stomach. I've been a C&R fisherman since forever, so I think I deserve a few goodies.

Ironically, the place my daughter has found for me to house sit up in Humboldt has a gorgeous view, plenty of room, and my only responsibility will be to tend four laying hens for a month! I cook a lot, and just made a marvelous pizza rustica. YUM!!!!
