Nice view Jack. Sort of like looking at the calm before the noise (nope, not going to say the storm, [smile]). Hope our paths cross as my wife & I along with our neighbors '80 "Hello Yellow" Vette should be there Thursday.

Almost made it home
Left Annapolis at 9AM with about 3,000 miles behind me and 500 to get back to Maine. On route 495 82 miles from home, the "correct" fuel pump dies. It did have 30,000 miles on it. I was going to put on my NAPA pump for the trip (never break) and actually took it with me but it was too hot , and after 10 hours on the road, a nice AC truck from AAA , sounded good. Got the car home around 10 PM.
Lot of travel and car pictures once I get my computer fixed. Had to use my iPhone for posting.

You had a great trip Jack! Good to have hooked up with you at Carlisle. Sorry to hear of the car trouble. 3 cheers for AAA! My neighbor with his '80 Hello Yellow Vette was also not so lucky...200 miles from home...think the clutch blew. We're giving 'em (us 
) a rest this Labor Day weekend.

Fuel Pump Died on the way home
No ! it's not the end of the Corvette Vagabond ...life on the road...
Fixed in time for a Labor Day Ride! Trip to Carlisle, Columbus, Pittsburgh and Annapolis - home 3,250 miles. Fuel pump died 82 miles from home.
The pivot pin was not spiked , pump was only 3 years old , but a non Logo correct pump. It worked its way out letting the lever move with cylinder instead of pumping the diaphragm

Corvette Vagabond heads to Carlisle 2016
I am happy to head to Corvettes at Carlisle this summer. My car was chosen to be one of 17, in the 50th Reunion Tent this year.
The car is in the shop right now, I hit a pole.....
Should be in top shape for the 1,300 mile trip....
Progress on the repairs soon.

Congratulations Jack on being part of the 50th Commemorative Event at Carlisle!
I do hope you were not hurt when your '6 hit the pole. Someone once said you can fix anything but a broken heart.
Again, glad to hear you're 1 of 20.
