Edit. See last post on page 2. I did take the 911 to Montana. The engine failed after running the AC and getting the motor pretty hot. Ask me about service quality at the u-haul in Billings. On the other hand my fall back plan of trailering the Porsche back home is working. It helps to have a wife who is perfect and overflowing with courage. Would like to hear about your prediction for what is wrong with the motor.
Back to th3 unedited version below. My wife has traveled with me to Ockteener Fest, WCR and the return half of Rt 66. Now we are going to visit Polson Montana. She is incredibly brave I have to say. I just got the AC going in the 911 and my wife tends to wilt in the heat. On the other hand the 914 carries more cargo, also a plus with my darling. It will be the end of July. Trying to make the best choice and wondering whether the weather tends to start to cool off and dry out towards the end of July. Decisions. Both cars have sixes in them. |

Then the alternator needed replacement. Heading back home with a day to spare on Thursday when the motor went south just east of Billings. Tried to limp back to town and failed. Hagerty towed me to the u haul. Sorry Brock, we tried. |

You missed out on the hundred head of elk behind our house right now though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) In my college days I worked as a volunteer in the Olympic Natl Park. Worked for the biologist. Early September, with a full moon. I decided to take a walk along the high divide. I was the only human in the whole area. Found myself downwind of a large herd of elk. I decided to just sit still. They munched their way along until I was surrounded by them. In my excitement I swallowed wrong and coughed. They all looked at me as -what the hell are you doing here. Not really spooked, but they decided to leave with a kind of sound unique to a herd. Lots of rocks and dirt being scraped by hooves. I now know that these are the kinds of moments that define a person. Sometimes nature, other times fashion. I feel lucky. |
