Club Technical
Advisor Needed!
Perhaps you’ve noticed or maybe
not…
Our club needs a Technical Advisor.
There has been no “Tech Talk”
page appearing regularly in “Valley
Vairs” for quite some time.
Any member can handle this. All
that you need to do is a bit of research each month. Hunt down a
good tech column and submit to the
newsletter editors by the 20th of
each month.
Plus your name runs on page two!

At The Wheel
Well.. it seems we always have beautiful weather during the week
and when Saturday comes to take the car to a cruise IT RAINS! I
think I'm just itchy to go off and have a good time with the Corvairs on the weekends. Before we know it, we'll be having great
convertible weather every day soon.
There are lots of car cruises and shows to attend. Pretty soon
here we'll be torn between one show or the other on the same
day. Remember about SO CAL CAR CULTURE on line, your local
newspaper and our newsletter for upcoming events.
Before we know it, we'll all be gathered at Kregg Tarisky's place
celebrating our annual ED CORSON tech day in April. Kregg has
installed a car lift just for the Corvairs on his property. We will
discuss what will take place at this event as well as others at
this months general meeting.
See you Thursday.
Your President, Michael Moreno
Didja Ever
Wonder?
How do they get
the Chicago River
green
for
St
Paddy’s Day?
Wouldja
believe
they pour in ORANGE dye?
Isn’t that sort of
ironic considering
how much the Irish
hate orange?

Editor’s Ramblings
Habits… We’ve all got them. Some good, some bad.
Some of us have habits that are beneficial to our health like eating right, getting to bed early and getting a good
nights sleep every night. Our personal hygiene and grooming are impeccable. We always exercise good manners and never arrive anywhere unannounced.
Those are all very good habits and are to be admired.
Then there are the bad habits… and we all have a few that we wish we didn’t
Smoking comes to mind. Many people who smoke tobacco wish they could break their habit but find it very difficult, if not nearly impossible.
It seems good habits are much easier to break that bad ones.
On March 12th Tim is going to break the, almost lifelong, habit of going to work everyday.
Diane and Tim
Says it’s the easiest habit he’s ever broke.
The Proper Way to Cook Corned Beef
Start with a good quality Corned Beef Round… Not a brisket.
This is so easy even Tim can do it.
Put the corned beef in a large pot and cover with water. Put on a burner and
set to medium until it begins to boil. Then reduce to a simmer.
Let it simmer for 3-4 hours (sometimes more) until it’s tender enough that a
fork can be stabbed into it very easily.
Remove from pot and place in refrigerator overnight. This isn’t required but
it will make it easier to slice neatly.
Save the juice you cooked the corned beef in to boil your carrots, potatoes
and cabbage for a fantastic corned beef dinner.
Slice, across the grain of the meat and reheat in a microwave oven.
Serve along with some Irish Soda bread and the carrots, potatoes and cabbage boiled in the juice from cooking the corned beef.
Enjoy the best corned beef dinner ever.
Tim and Diane
