I know, but we used to spend days talking about Dan. I guess there's only so many discussions around Dan, too. ----- Original Message ----- From: w.wood To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, July 13, 2009 4:14 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: The end? Denis, I think there's only so many discussions around VWs. It's kinda like the Samba joke "How Do I lower my bus?" You can only write so much on the subject. Right now I'm contemplating culling the herd as it were. I don't have the time and frankly my weekends are becoming more personal time than going out and wrenching. It's all about priorities right now and VWs aren't the number one leisure activity for some, including me. To elaborate: Last Week my son decided to bust a caliper bolt and bring the fastback home on a tow truck because the ignition quit. I think he was pensive about it because he told me about that bolt and I told him not to drive it until repaired. Anyway, Did I work on it this weekend? Nope.... Next weekend family is on the east coast so it'll be a couple of weeks before I want to get greasy with it. Right now I'm kinda "If I can't just turn the key... It'll have to wait." I'm also hunting for a paint job for the 63 DC since the engine's out of it and I'm planning some diabolical mods for it. Problem is I'm 1300 miles from it so it's difficult to get estimates done..

I'm a bit apprehensive about the facebook thing too! Maybe because I can't get to it at work. I think you right about the economy. People have to pick their events carefully nowadays. -----Original Message----- From: Denis <coocoo@xxxxxxx> To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Mon, Jul 13, 2009 1:51 pm Subject: [tcb] The end? There has been almost no traffic here on the list, and although I had a wonderful time and, financially, it was a great success, attendance was pretty light at Psycoblooie, I am wondering if the whole vintage VW thing is slowing down. I guess people are hurting with the economy, kids, and for some of us, health problems and old age are making it harder for us all to get together, we don't have the money or the time to keep our vehicles on the road like we used to. Some of us are even needing to sell our cars, since they are a side interest and not a core necessity. I guess some of us are on facebook now. I am on it, but I don't think I like it. I am still here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stay cool with this summer's hottest movies.
