<div dir="auto">Thanks. Great story. Back in day help was easier
to get. In 1980 I was going with some friends to hike Mt Whitney
in the Sierras over memorial day weekend. We pulled into a gas
station in lone pine in my 69 Chevelle. It was a Sunday. As I
got gas I checked my oil and wiggled my radiator fan, as I want
to do. It wiggled and water started leaking from the pump weap
hole. No parts stores open and the GM dealership parts Dept
next door was closed...the guy pumping gas worked in the dealer
parts department. Opened the shop, got me a pump and I swapped
it out at gas station . Trip saved, hiked the mountain had a
great adventure.

<div>My wife and I were out for a walk in the neighborhood
on a cool afternoon today and the conversation turned to
what had happened in our lives on this date over the
years. The day after Christmas in 1971 really stood out to
both of us.</div>
<div>We had been stationed in Hawaii during 1970 and 71.
Near the end of 1970 the first major downsizing of troops
in and about Vietnam was happening, We had to leave Hawaii
along with our year old son, process out of the military
after flying to California and head back home to
Pennsylvania. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>At the same time Hawaii was prepping for a dock strike
amongst the longshoremen. Fortunately we were able to ship
our 1966 3000 to California just prior to the shutdown. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When our orders to depart Hawaii finally came through
we were able to meet up with the Healey in CA and head
east. <span style="background-color:transparent;font-size:10pt">Made
it from San Jose to Gallop New Mexico before the water
pump let go and we limped into town. The local Ford
dealer was next to the small motel we found to stay in
and the garage offered to help with tools if I could
find the parts. Had a pump shipped via the Greyhound Bus
Company from San Diego (UPS, Fed Ex and Amazon Prime did
not exist back then). Pump arrived and we installed it
in the dealership. By the way the pump shipped was an
early one with the pulley held on with a nut and the old
one was a press fit. Three spot welds with a stick
welder on the nut to pulley joint held it all together. </span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, 50 years ago today "we three" where in Gallop
enjoying peanut butter sandwiches, very tainted drinking
water and making some new friends. We were also
anticipating the rest of the drive across America on what
was left of Route 66 and what might happen along the way. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We pulled into our hometown in western PA on New Years
eve. Another Austin Healey adventure completed.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All the best to all of you folks. Enjoy the ride. (if
you can get it started!) </div>
<div>Happy New Year</div>
