Ok, my wife prodded me into taking the car in to Lake Arlington today. Well,
maybe prodded is not quite the right term. Collaborated with me may be better!

Here I was hoping for a quick, quiet test drive into the lake and out again.
Instead I found myself surrounded by on-lookers and their cameras and LOTS of
questions! Needless to say, I was quite nervous having at least 30 people watch
me launch for the first time. All went well, with only a minor leak on the
passengers door. I could hear the "yeas! and the "woohoos" over the roar of the
engine and tranny as I came out.

One more test drive after that, and then the wife wanted to go, and so did the
kids! After that, we called it a day. For some reason the temperature gauge
pegged itself, but I am not yet convinced that it was overheating. It drove home
fine. I will check it out thoroughly tomorrow, and then...back to the lake!

Tired but Happy Danno!
'64 SWIMMING Amphi!

Great news, Dan and Kathy! You've done a great job on your Amphi, and now
the fun can begin! Thanks, too, for keeping us updated on your web page
these past months.
