[T3] Happy Birthday Hothe!

[Keith Park]

Today is Hothe's 47th Birthday, and was celebrated with a tank of Nonthenol

as it gets ready for its winter slumber as the snows and salts move ever
closer

to the capital region.

 

The engine just turned 161K, and even with the thick oil Im starting to hear
rumbling

when I first start it a bit.  I remember 15 years ago heading out to the
first invasion thinking

I was out of my mind driving a car with that old an engine in it cross
country... it had half the mileage

then!

 

So... I must truly be out of my mind thinking a 1200mile trip to Alabama is
still in this engine, correct?

I suspect I have 2500 miles left in it, but I dont want to find out I was
wrong 1000 miles from home.

Its hot down there in June, and there are some sizable mountains between
here and there.

 

Opinions?  Should I guts it out to the 18 invasion with it?

 

Keith
