Robbi, I hope that the rest of your trip to K Falls was uneventful. Dan

I didn't get very far before the fuel pump failed. Got a tow to Alturas, where I spent another night in a cheap hotel to get it changed out. It was mangled from an accident I had in January. I'm surprised it lasted this long.

Thank you very much, Dan, for the tow. That was a good life experience. And it was good to get to know you out there on the highway.

Robbi, I'm accustomed to dealing with breakdowns all the time. You acquiesed immediately to what the mechanic said. I was planning on bringing your truck on in to Alturas. That way you could avoid the motel charges. All we needed was an old tire to make it an easy tow. I don't like to make plans for other people so I didn't say anything.

BTW ,any concientous mechanic who changes a fuel filter on a vehicle that doesn't run,,,,,should blow through the filter to see if it's plugged. If it's not plugged, he MUST look for another problem. Like I told you, there wasn't any reason for playa dust to get in your tank. That's why I asked a couple times about the fuel pump. I didn't believe that the filter was the real problem. Oh wellllllll
Dan

I deeply appreciate your help, Dan. I don't think my nerves could have stood up to a tow to Alturas however. Everything worked out alright in the end. The Cedarville mechanic did blow thru the line, and the truck ran a good 5 miles before the fuel filter failed. The fuel filter only had 50% capacity, so it needed replacing anyway. The only way to test the pump before leaving Cedarville was to test drive it, which I did. The tow was $123, which was pittance compared to the ticket I would have received if we got caught by CHP.

Hey folk, I’d like a beer please,
How’s it going tonight?

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Sep 11, 2005 6:03 pm

Howdy, Z! I can't stay too long tonight, gotta get up at 5....bleh! Back to work and pay off bills!

What kind of beer would you like?

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sun Sep 11, 2005 6:07 pm

I’m not particular, what ever you happen to grab when you reach into the cooler.
I have to get up at 5 too but I got a nap in so I’ll be up awhile. undoubtedly to late so I plan to be dragging tomorrow.

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Sep 11, 2005 6:09 pm

How about...a Corona?
Yup, I got a nap today, too. But I should try to get to sleep early.

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Sun Sep 11, 2005 6:11 pm

Sleep!?! What's that all about?

OK, So I just woke up from my little e-nap and am ready to serve up whatever you need.

Need a new avatar. Anyone got any good pics of me from this year?

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sun Sep 11, 2005 6:11 pm

Corona would be good, thanks

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Sep 11, 2005 6:18 pm

Sorry, I didn't get very many pictures at all. I should've taken more, but it kinda felt weird to be riding around snapping pictures. Most of the pictures I got were around camp.

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Sun Sep 11, 2005 6:19 pm

Corona for Z. Did you get any of them that I dropped off at Apokoliptika, or did Heli reserve them all for himself?

Yeah, I didn't take too many shots, but I like some of what I got.

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Sep 11, 2005 6:19 pm

*slides an ice cold Corona down to Z*

Z, did you get many pictures?[/i]

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sun Sep 11, 2005 6:20 pm

I didn’t get many pictures either, not even decent pictures of all my camp mates.

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Sep 11, 2005 6:24 pm

Everyone at my work is like..."Get lots of pictures!" Like I said, it felt weird taking the pictures I did.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sun Sep 11, 2005 6:24 pm

I don’t know if it was the 12 you dropped off or somebody else brought it but on Monday as we getting ready to take a bunch of cases of left over beer to the DPW and Emergency services I exchanged a case of PBR for a 12v of Corona.

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Sep 11, 2005 6:26 pm

I only left about 3 Coronas at the gate but a bunch of "not to my liking" Miller Light!

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Sun Sep 11, 2005 6:30 pm

Anyway, I just posted some pics that I like over on my journal

Dropped off food there too, I didn't want to haul it all back home.

Next time I'm bringing Leinie's!! Although, that Corona wasn't too bad!
In fact... I'll have one at the eBar right now!

cowboyangel · Post by **cowboyangel** » Sun Sep 11, 2005 6:42 pm

stops howling, grabs beer and sits at the bar watching re-runs of Gilligan's Island, while bar banter coalesces...

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Sep 11, 2005 6:42 pm

Ok, I'm going to go crash for the night!
Take care and Good night!

I think I'll sit my ass down on this barstool and wait to see if Blueniteowl shows up. Oh, and here's a case a beer for the bar, a mixed assortment of stuff left in my cooler. It's got playa dust on it and everything.

Cheers!
