Re: IML: Strange Beast Sighted Prowling North Portland

["JIM LORENZEN" <jdlpdx@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Would that I will be that lucky.  I'm going out to the farm this weekend to 
prep and hopefully bring the '62 into town.  There is another vacuum booster 
on one of the '61s out there and I'm planning on grabbing that one.  Also it 
seems that I have another one lurking in my basement if I can only find it. 
If not, and if the one from the farm isn't any better, it looks like I'll 
take Kenyon and Paul's advice and ship it down to San Jose.
