Zderf,

Just thought you would like to know that after I got everything back together and test drove the car, which by the way was better than I hoped for, the damn gas pedal broke off! Well that does it, after fixing that I have now replaced everthing the P/O installed and I think I have exorcised the "junk yard".

Hope Rich has thawed by now.

yo, Bishop of the North!!!
I just got back from driving the Cobra to Coos Bay (Monday). I took it to JCF to have a heater put in and the rear end changed. Seems like that should have been last summer for that job. Man o man was it cold. 8 hours to get there. Craig (son ) followed me to about Chehalis and his clutch exploded in the brand new Bullit Mustang, 7700 miles on it. It had to be towed into town and we will pick it up tomorrow. My car will be done at JCF in about 3 weeks and then Walts will go for about 7-9 months.LOL!!
Somehow the drive seemed worth it only after I got warm. I'm looking forward to that good July sunshine.
I will talk at you soon.
Keith

Bish nothing like tradition, it's one of the most important qualties of successfull society. The memories from last years Skagit cruise are still some of the best spent with the Snake and freinds.

Di and I will be there!!!!

Glad you are coming. Do you live in Mill Creek. Linda thought she saw your car at the intersection of 164th and Bothel Hwy a while back (before Christmas). She lives in Mill Creek. Give me a call if you get up this way any time soon and we'll lift one at the BLB&G.

Dolly & I will be there. Thanks for all your efforts. Jay

Bish;

I havn't decided what to do yet, but it's looking like I'm going to do the replacement myself. I'm definetely going with the Detroit "True-trac", but I'm going to wait and pull the axles to check the condition before I decide to go with the 31-spline.

I'll have it all behind me in another month.

I use the software that came with my digital camera (Epson) to resize images. Not knowing what you have, and assuming you are PC/Microsoft based, try using Microsoft Photo Editor. Open image in that, go to Image button at top, then change the width or height. Then, right click on the photo and select properties. That will give the resultant "bytes". Keep making it smaller until you hit the bogey. If your starting at 1.3M, your pic is going to be rather small when done. Therefore, when you go to save it, use "save as" and select the "more" button at the bottom of that box. That will bring up a scale of 1-100 for JPG density. Make sure it is saved at the far left (samllest file size).

I save all of my "download pics" in a special folder called "low rez". That way, I can keep the original at whatever size and quality I wish. Periodically, I go in and clean it out since I usually only download an image once.

I don't know what the future holds for the current CC download file size restrictions, but for sure... it will test the skills of many trying to deal with it.

Happy editing!!!!

Would very much like to make the cruise, but lacking a Cobra myself. Anyone need a co-rider? I am very excited to meet Cobra owners that are local so I can start "sponging" ideas and information as I formulate my dream (about 2-3 years away).

David

ps - I don't bite!

David;

I'm sure catching a ride with someone won't be a problem. I might have a seat available, but not for sure?

If nothing else, just show up at the meeting place early and talk to the different owners/drivers.

Todd

Thanks for the words Todd! I'll definitley be going, just hope to do so as a co-rider.

I'll keep checking on the post and show up early at the meeting place!

Bish,

Very well might have been me in Mill Creek she spotted. I'm fighting an output shaft oil leak on my TopLoader so I have not been out much lately other than December.
