I just wanted to give my thanks to everyone who worked to put this together. It was good to see Calvin, Brian, and Dave again, and it was great to meet Gary and Russ for the first time. Dinner was great, and it was a fun discussion...I must say, Gary is quite the storyteller
Great evening...even though I'll be paying for it tomorrow (it's 0130 and I have to get up at 0800 for what's probably going to be a 17+ hour day at work tomorrow).
Here are some pictures from the evening. The first one is of Gary, Calvin, and Russ in the middle of talking (I snuck away and grabbed the camera and got the pic before anyone knew
) The second is of Russ looking through a box of springs and valves from one of Gary's junked heads (the contents of the box visible in the third pic). The fourth picture is of the plates that Gary put together to pressure-test the cooling system on his engine block...and the fifth picture is a close-up of the Schraeder valve he used (from a fuel filter head) to put air pressure in the system.
Thank you all again!!
