QUOTE (Pags @ Jul 19 2008, 05:41 PM) Hey guys and gals I have some good news. THE VAN IS FIXED!! Well, at least we hope so. As it turned out, is was the vent tube / breather cap. It became clogged so the build up in pressure had no way to escape. That's why it over heated. There doesn't seem to be any other damage to the transmission - let's keep our fingers crossed. I just drove it home and it rode beautifully. Whoo Hoooooo!!! This is also a pefect opportunity to thank my wife, owlswing. When the van broke down and I was on the phone with her at Exxon, she was prepared, somehow, to drive down to where we were and wait for the tow truck so we could all get to PNC more quickly. I honestly don't know if that would have worked or not, and I don't care. She kicks ass just for thinking it. You're the best, baby. And this also reminds me of a video necro shot on our way to PNC (pre break down). We came up to (as my Grandmother used to call them) a coffee and donut light - where the red light seems to take forever to change. So I jumped out of the van, and ran across the street to press that pedestrian button on the pole so the light would change more quickly. Personally, I don't actually think the light changes more quickly, but instead keeps it red longer after it changes so people crossing have more time to do so. If that's true, it means that my silly stunt didn't save us any time at all. But it was fun, and I'm an idiot like that. And apparently Necro caught my return run on his camera. Check it out. We've been laughing our asses off at it all week, and I even had some editing fun with it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v502/paganoman/Pagscon%20II%20-%2008/th_Rush_van.jpg that's great about your van!!! i remember your trip across the street, we were when we saw you running across the street love the edited version

Our family is like no other and I was so glad to be a part of it all. I leave for Australia tomorrow evening ( Thursday 18th) and go back to work on the following Monday and it will all be surreal again. TRF family rules. DS I hope your enjoying the rest of your trip!!

QUOTE (Necromancer @ Jul 16 2008, 03:14 PM) QUOTE (failte @ Jul 16 2008, 04:11 PM) that would be awesome!! our backyard is like that, there's this nature reserve place across the highway so we see hawks sometimes. and we have a mess of blue jays, finches, robins and this funny looking woodpecker. we love it Then we'll add bird watching to the list when we come to your place to see the aquarium. I'd told Trout about the big time bird action at Pags when he arrived and almost any time he came out to check... nothing. The morning after he left was a bit dreary and it had rained. The worms were up and the birds were all over the place. I thought about the camera, but was enjoying myself too much just sitting there having my coffee, watching it all. There had to be hundreds of birds in at least six or seven different species all over his yard. It was awesome. i can't wait!! just pm me or kenny with dates that would be good for you and your clan and we'll make some plans. the dolphin show...the sharks...a little stroll over to the science center... you guys can even stay with us before and after

that would be awesome!! our backyard is like that, there's this nature reserve place across the highway so we see hawks sometimes. and we have a mess of blue jays, finches, robins and this funny looking woodpecker. we love it

QUOTE (sundog @ Jul 16 2008, 02:55 PM) QUOTE (tick @ Jul 16 2008, 03:51 PM)I had such an unbelievable time last weekend, I cant imagine having missed it. When I started a new job in Febuary, I thought I might not be able to attend, that would have been tragic. Sometimes you go into something with a certain expectation of how you think it will be and wind up dissapointed because the expectation was to high. In the case of Pagscon, it was exactly what I expected it to be and more. I have trully loved meeting each and evey member I have ever met from this board. Your all absolutely top shelf, first class individuals. The very first time I headed to Rockaway in early 06 to hang with Slacker and Necro, I didn't not know if it would be comfortable or a bit awkward. I had never met up with someone I knew strictly from the internet. I also had no idea at the time what it was to be the start of. It was an incredible night, we laughed nonstop the entire evening. We then kept building off that night. In fall of 06, I had a BBQ at my home (the first hyped up get together. "The tick kliq bbq") I will never forget that weekend for many reasons. Now its 08 and im still greatly enjoying the company of so many on this board. I know these friendships I have made will continue onward into the future. Pags and Owl have given those who attended, a moment in time that will live forever, and thats not being corny, its just a fact. I LOVE YOU ALL !!! tss and i didn't want to leave on sunday, our daughter ended up calling us to find out when we were coming home! such an incredibly good time.

trout, here's one especially for you, as promised http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/failte2112/cardinal3photoshop.jpg

You take it to a whole new level. i wonder if she went into post withdrawal while driving home....

I have said it before, and I will say it again, you feel right at home at Rush concerts. It was great meeting you too bud. There was a point during the show, when we were all together on the hill jamming out and I just took some time to look around and see all the smiles from all my friends that I've met on this board. I turned to 1-0-0-1 and told him I hope he understands how special and different this place is and that I also hope he knows how appreciated this place is and all the work they've done creating such a great place. He then told me to shut up and we went back to jamming. J/K I'm pretty sure he got it without me ever needing to tell him. The place just rocks and the people in it are the best fans and friends that i've ever had the pleasure to meet. Even when has had their final day, the friendships we've all made here will continue. i told kenny on the way home that this whole weekend was like the most incredible family reunion. i love you all!
