Olympic Peninsula? Why no. What VW do you have and what would you like to accomplish?jonyem wrote:I would like to schedule a full day with you this spring/summer.
Ever been to the Olympic Peninsula of Washington state?
I have a '73 bus, in a nutshell, I'd like to have you go over the wiring, brakes, some basic engine maintenance. The number one thing I hope to get accomplished would be to get the fuel gauge/sender issue repaired. (It's always saying empty). I can be more specific, should I send a private message?Amskeptic wrote:Olympic Peninsula? Why no.

Yes. We set up a PM correspondence (save as a .txt file) to help us plan and order parts, etc.jonyem wrote: I have a '73 bus, I can be more specific, should I send a private message?

Once I have a date next to your name, we adjust a little more, then you pay the deposit. I am still working out the time frame.jonyem wrote:How does this PM correspondence work?Amskeptic wrote:Yes.

Colin's is JUST KIDDING, folks. We are not all weaponeers up here, though if you WERE a weaponeer, this would be the place to be.
I see Pete has checked in. Count me in. I'll bug Tom down the hall and see if Buster Brown wants some of your time. Richard and Jan are mostly likely interested, but do not "do" the Interwebs.
So - I am expecting to pull off the engine switcheroo with my son and some friends (we'll call it auto mechanics class) some time this summer. No doubt there will be things to sort out, though, following that activity. So, count on me for a full day. Late summer preferred, like after the second week of August or something.
I stopped by the bowers on the way home -- and entire 1/8 block out of my way to see Yellowbird. Man - I miss thatAmskeptic wrote:I'd be happy to head on up the hill. Let me know if the Bowers would like a visit.

The early part of the schedule is looking very rough due to lots o'family commitments + Cindy in Rochester May 13/14/15 where I might have to backtrack horribly to Maine and back to Ohio via Vermont. But if we can get your engines in, that'd be nice.Randy in Maine wrote:Colin,
Am I seeing a nice 2 day gap in your schedule here in New England during mid May 10-23? I would need you for 2 days. Let me know. I am pretty flex here.
