Thax for your kind offer Markus...I think I'll be OK, but will PM if I need anything........Stop by and take it for a drive if ever passing thru when back in BC......U know where I'm at....

Thanks Bob. Indeed I know where you are at. I think there is still a warrant out for my arrest in your neighbourhood.

Keep me in mind in future if you need anything. I live about five minutes from a large "Mercedes Klassik" Center. (they specialize in older cars and the parts required for them)

Cheers, Mark

Hope all is well Bob, saw the fires out your way on the news tonight.

Thanks Paul - We're fine, fire started about a mile away and moved the other direction. It's really a sad deal though: click on "images" on this link to see more:

Hey Bob,

Just watched ABC News and saw them talk about Cle Elum? How are you doing?

Fires in Cle Elum
 

Neilk - Doing fine myself, thanks....I know 2 that lost homes, 13 gone in a sub-division 3 miles from us....

I volunteer for Search and Rescue....working long hours at roadblocks trying to keep people out.....Still scheduled thru 0600 hrs Monday morning. Can still see fires burning about 1.5 mile from my house....Need rain badly, none in the forecast.....Thanks.....

Bob- Good to hear your place is intact. I heard about the Cle Elum fire while I was away with no internet access, so I've had no way to check up on you.

Of course, after our little episode of me slicing through gas lines with a sawzall while you have a torch going a few inches away, you are probably glad I was no where around to offer any "help".
