Title: Anybody on the left coast need some free coolant test strips?
Post by: bobofthenorth on February 09, 2010, 04:30:41 PM
I went to WWWilliams in Las Vegas today (thanks for the excellent directions Van) and the smallest package of test strips they had was 50.  In theory they expire in Dec of 2010 but they'll probably last a little past then.  However I won't use 10 of them before the rest expire.  We'll be going from here to San Diego in about a week and then up the CA coast following spring north.  Anyone along that route is welcome to help themselves to test strips in exchange for a cup of coffee.  I might even deliver them a very short distance or supply the coffee.  (how's that for a flimsy excuse to get to meet some busnuts?)

For future reference, International dealers will often sell just one strip at a time.  I also have gotten one strip at a time at the local Cummins shop.

OK Bryce it's like this:

Hold up your left hand
Now hold up your right hand
Put them really really really far apart

Now imagine that I am in your left hand
Now imagine that pretty well the whole US of A is between your two hands
And imagine that you are right there attached to your right hand (which shouldn't be all that hard to imagine)

And just for Michael's reference I like coffee just fine - it just doesn't like me very much.

OK Bob I did it, but when I looked up at my hands I realized that my head was next to the Mississippi River and since we're like 15 mins from the Mississippi I realized it's like only half the distance you mentioned. ;)
And also since I got short arms it ain't all that far in the first place! ;)
See I know a little yankee geography ;) I was raised in Indy even though I wuz born in Panama, and bounced from Panama to VA to TN to Indy to KY to FL to ND/MN (Fargo/Moorhead) to OK to AR back to KY and finally back to TN! (see I wasn't always from here but I got back here as soon as I could! ;)
;D  BK  ;D

PS How about I put some brandy in that coffee?

Bob -

If you decide to meander thru Fresno on your way to Yosemite or Kings Canyon, I'll buy the Pepsi - a cool alternative to coffee or tea!

And if you don't come my way, PM me and I'll give you suggestions for touring the CA coast.

Contact info's in my profile.

FWIW & HTH. . .

;)

Hi, Bob.

I could use a couple of those strips, but I don''t expect to get up your way until you are long gone. That being the case, I am just taking this opportunity to say high.

Take care.
