Well I leave tonight, the trip I tried to take last year but couldn't quite get the new motor in and running in time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
The new motor is in and running excellent, new shocks, tires, elephant racing bushings, brakes, and a whole lot of rust repair, painting and clean up, and a year later. Leaving at 2:00am heading for Las Vegas, stay there Thursday get some rest, then on to Albuqurque Friday - Sunday with my son and two grandsons (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Then Sunday night leaving for Atlanta Tx, to visit my Daughter and two granddaughters.

Made it to Atlanta Texas around 11:30am central time, LOTS of rain on the way, my extreme summer tires didn't handle it to well when the heavy stuff would come...45 mph to keep on the road...quite the lightning show too.
Car ran great, at least with the rain I didn't have to worry about vapor lock. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Shower, quick tour of the new ranch, some lunch.....now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellowsleep[1].gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellowsleep[1].gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellowsleep[1].gif) At daughters new ranch The back pasture Back pasture, Thru the trees on the right is a stocked pond, on the left a deer hunting area with feeders and blinds. Shop/barn looking from the back pasture Started the foundation forms and plumbing for the new house Daughters horse training setup Her wild Mustang she's training for a show in Dallas next week, and her barn The Shop Car in the shop, its smaller than his 4 wheeler (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Son in laws business For all your plumbing needs Youngest grandaughter, oldest was away visiting Went on a boat ride to dinner....I could almost hear the banjo music (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) The family!
