Great day at Jamie"s and Parts Obsolete. Cruising north on I-5 following Craig Laughlin and Kevin Powers. Lots of traffic. I get boxed in and they get ahead of me but still in sight. Hear a noise, hear it again, generator light ignites.......fan belt. Forgot cell phone at home....gotta catch the guys....boxed in ....oil temp and cyl. temp beginning to climb........better stop....in luck, I can see the Wilsonville rest stop. Pay phone, call Craig's cell...."HELP....come back and get me". "On my way" he says. Ten minutes later he pulls in to the rest stop and hands me his cell phone. I say "what for?" He says "call your wife, I just broke my fan belt!". I say you're shi..en me, he says "no". I call. Wife arrives at rest stop 30 minutes later, laughing loudly, brings camera.......

guys, made it home without so much as hiccup. cleared the 1k mile mark on the reassembly, i think i'm ok. but this am will check mine with a mirror (food for thought). what is the deal with getting to i-5? that route through salem is a nightmare. craig drives too fast. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif). poor dave hunt is losing time in his car to his wife (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) . i came out of emory's and asked him where his car was. "betsy and sara took it". his son gerry says "can i ride with you". lonesome dave in the subaru 4 dr (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . what with our alias's here i wonder who the real faces are. some name tags should have had our "handles" on them. thanks to jamie for a good job. oh by the way, if your wife should ask you if you think you should take the top with you listen to her.
