I'm home now. With a few thoughts Options

[rick 918-S]

We made it home. We had several obsticles to overcome on the return trip. I had one of the new tires on the trailer blow out about 20 away from the hotel, Luke came down with a flue bug and hurled all over the side of the Exterra, Forrest accidentally took Advil, (he is allergic!) Benidril fixed him in short order. And we dodged tornado activity all the way through Nebraska, no kidding! I drove about 17 hrs in the last leg.

Was it worth it? Without question! Would I do it again? In a minute!

I need to thank a few people.

First and foremost my wonderful wife! You all need to understand without her support in this venture this car and this event would have never happened for me! I have spent the last 6 months in the garage pouring time and money into this car without thought for anything else but finishing the car for this event. Ultimately this is the most selfish thing I think I've ever done, and I've had some big selfish moments. We have bee together since we were 18 years old. I'm 46 now and she has always allowed me room to be creative. It's a special gift. I must never forget. I'm way over due in the giving department. Time to work on the honey do list big time! The car is sitting with a list of upgrades until it's safe to start back in.

I need to thank my kids. I rode them hard the last few weeks prior to the event. School, help in the shop, etc. They came through for me. All of them. In no particular order, Aric, Kyle, and my other two part time kids, Luke and Forrest. I hope you had a chance to meet them they are all very good kids with bright futures.

I'm going to add to this later tonight. I have some very important things to do today. So check back later because I'm far from finished.

Later
