<VV> Hello and a brag

[Don Bowen]

I just popped into this list again to say hello to all, do a brief update, 
and brag.  It has been a while since I was last on the list.  Due to having 
to sell a house I disposed of all my Corvairs and most of the parts.  I no 
longer have a shop and a place to keep stuff but I have kept my CORSA 
membership.

Since then I have been full timing in a travel trailer.  I left California 
this last March and am now in Asheville North Carolina.  Over the course of 
the year I have been cross country twice and have travelled from Texas in 
the south,  Iowa in the north, and the Atlantic coast of North Carolina in 
the east.  I am at my son's place here in Asheville.  If anyone needs 
Corvair parts in the Waynesville area, he is the store manager of the 
Autozone there and can find parts.  This Sunday I start the pull west again 
down through SC, GA, AL, MS, LA, TX, NM, AZ, to CA.  See my journal, link 
in the sig, for my travels.

Lastly I really want to brag on my son.  His book is now on Amazon and may 
be on interest to anyone working on a transmission.  I have not seen it yet 
but in one of our emails I mentioned the Corvair transmission and I hope he 
put in the reference.  I get my copy when I get back to California.  His 
book is available at

This is a brief visit as I will leave here and the WiFi I installed and 
will be without Internet connection for the next few weeks.
