Default Laughlin Run

Sorry I missed the Breakfast at Screwballs, guys . . . went to the school to see if my hood was finished so I could get it installed before the Laughlin run . . . NOT! Guess I'll be waiting another two weeks for it cuz the school will be closed for Spring Braek next week. Sure hope it's done for Knotts or I'm gunna be pissed.

The Laughlin run was a blast. We got together (Larry, Erwin and Me) at about 10:00 and waited for any stragglers till 10:30. Hit the freeway and headed for laughlin (me without a hood . . . bad, very, very bad).

Cruised thru Searchlight and waved at the Dummy in the cop car on the south side of town. Who are they tryin' ta fool . . .

Laughlin was HOT, about 88* - 90*. we grabbed a bite to eat at the local In-N-Out and then went to the other side of the river so I could get a new oil filter . . . seems that on the way down there I sprung some sort of leak and it turned out to be a good thing that I was without a hood. It was sprinkling on the windshield. Found a Checker store in Bullhead City and bought a filter, a Qt of oil and fixed the prob in the lot. Try that someday with a HOT!!! filter, layin' on HOT!!! asphalt in a parking lot in Laughlin when it's 90*. Did I mention it was HOT!!!

anyway, it was a great trip and gave the Cobra a good shakedown run getting ready for Knotts.

See Ya soo for breakfast,

Pete

And when stopped for a vehicle inspection and asked why the brake pedal seemed to go just a little to close to the floor, the response was:
