"Something in the Orange"

September 3rd 2012, I had another 500 miles on my relatively "new to me" 340 after the 2nd set of bearing shells. I stopped at a log scaling yard and weighed the car. It's the only time I remember doing that and I need to do it again. It was 3,431 pounds with no one in it. I also took my girlfriend to Port Townsend and even Leavenworth in it but the motor was starting to make the noise and leak oil again. At this point I wrote getting it to the track off for the year and tried to concentrate on hunting the high buck season in the Cascades. That was the year of the Wenatchee Complex Fire and my spot in the Entiat was burning (so were 2 of my back up spots!!) Quitting the cigarettes then wasn't going very well either. It was shaping up to be a pretty crappy year....
