If I may paraphrase Galileo... It moves!

My 85 Westy original wasserboxer with 165k miles has been sitting in my driveway for nearly a month, tarp-covered, chilling in sub zero temperatures that are so unusual for this area of the country (Kansas City).  Nevertheless, today, with the temp in the 40s and the roads pretty much dried off and free of salt, I unwrapped him and twisted the key in the ignition.  Started right up without a moment's hesitation.  What a joy!  Drove to a nearby park where I could find a flat parking place, let the engine cool off, and checked fluid levels.  Everything a-ok.

What's my point?  I dunno.  Just wanted to share my happiness with the list.
