Well, we will be heading out to Idaho Springs tomorrow morning to spend family time together, and to check out Loch Lomond. I'll have my phone with me if you need to call, and I have internet on it so I can keep track of anything that may come up by Sunday morning. See you guys there.

We'll be running Loch Lomond that day, so that will be a lot easier to make it to that meet time.

yep, i'm stranded. pretty sure I know where the leak is, thinking it is the upper hose, but won't know for sure until first thing in the morning. nearest part store doesn't open until nine so I will be the right when it opens to get the part. should have it all together and ready to roll by 0930. while you guys are waiting for me, the hotel here has an all you can eat buffet eggs cooked to order how you want them, for $8.95. So meet here at the hotel around 0830 if you want some of this grub. I ran Loch Lomond today and found Idaho Springs to be about 15 minutes from the hotel, so when done here we can just head straight to the trailhead, maybe getting a quick gas fill on the way. So call me in the morning if you can't find the hotel, otherwise we will see you here.

Wish I could be there today but I am at work instead. Have fun and I will hope to make it next time.

Great trail. Had a couple of challenging spots but nothing too tough. I had the least capable vehicle there and had to have a couple spots. LONG three trails. Mosquitoes were horrible (worse than the other two times).

We saw a TJ that had rolled down a hill and landed on it's roof. I think it happened today or yesterday.

I'll post pics tomorrow. It is late.

ok, heres the thing...
the jeep was kinda having malfunction issues that friday night
the little light that looks like a bolt of lighting between inverted parenthesis *like this: )Z( came on. later that evening the thans. temp. light came on so i had to cancel a late night run to sonic so u know i was fuming!

the )Z( light meant that there was a problem with the electronic throttle system and no one can really explain the trans temp light, especially when the jeep hadnt been moved for 10 hours, but the whole jeep was being stupid. but jeep promises its just faulty computer software and should have it replaced on saturday. they were able to get the )Z( light off but the trans temp comes on, dings, then goes out. until then... this jeep is just fine either at the chapel or at the dorms.

Tokyojoe · **Posted:** Wed Jul 04, 2007 12:20 am

KJ4ME · **Posted:** Wed Jul 04, 2007 2:51 am

my heart is being weird again
i have cardiac arrhythmia and i started having palpitations, so i went into urgent care, then to the ER. long story short, lots of EKG's, bloodwork, test after test after test, meet with doctors, blah blah blah.

Must be contagious. I had that in April and the woman I am dating also had something similar last month.
