good times tonight. good to see you out there in the oval, rob. bruce, carlos, gavin & his family, myself and whole slew of new rods out there too.

unfortunatley, my camera batteries took a big dump when i got there so i think i got 1 pic total.

I was on my way there, when I stopped for gas, at the Chevron at No. Five Rd. and Steveston. When I started it up again.... rattle rattle rattle. Something broke. Called my GF, and she came with the M van, and towing equipment. Towed home.

Once home, took off a valve cover, to find a broken rocker stud. Woo hoo! Easy fix. Kind of a piss-off though, because I haven't beat on the motor yet, and it's still on single springs.

Silas, the one in N. Van is probably closer to your house than the one in Richmond.  It is in the Crappy Tire parking lot just west of Mountain on Main.
