I am  finally getting ready to leave Salt lake City for Blue Hill, Maine, &
am  wondering whether I should put the new Heppu water pump I have in my
parts  stash in now instead of on the road in some god forsaken place on the
way?  My present water pump appears to be doing fine, but has about 87.5k
on it after I had it replaced while on a road trip, 8 years ago.

My  mechanic said " don't change it as long as it isn't leaking".  Does he
just want moi to break down on the road somewhere he won't have to deal w/
it?

I put in a new Dennis Haynes recommended Mobil M1-205 oil filter(  2-3
times the cost of a Mann or Mahle) when I changed the oil yesterday (Royal
Purple 15-50 synthetic), but wonder whether I should run 10-40 when I get to
Maine?  Filter felt much more heavy duty than the M & M's, but I  mistakenly
packed my stash of Mann's  so I went to an Autozone, &  they had the Mobil on
the shelf.

Depending on weather, I will be  heading east/north on I-80 or I-70 then
onto I-90 & I-95 to Maine next  week, so keep your eyes out for an Ivory 84
Westy w/ large white dog as  co-pilot.  2607 miles to new home, hope to make
it in 5 days, not pushing  too hard w/ a 4' x 8' HF trailer behind  w/
assorted junque, bicycles,  tools, etc. that didn't make the moving van.

Anybody enroute that needs  a BZ Shelf (grey only), get free delivery!

I am looking forward to  attending some of the East coast campouts this
Spring/Summer/Fall/Winter, so  hide your good looking wimin, & bring out the
syncro dokas as I am  interested.

YMMV,

Mr. BZ-what's a guy from Hawaii doing moving  to Maine?  (Besides Mike in
Houlton Maine)?  Answer:   Grandkids!
