Weather is still looking perfect - in Eureka for MUSR though they are getting rain today and a bunch yesterday. You might get a bit of rain coming through St. Louis but clear after that on Thursday.

That looks much better than the infamous "rain ramble". What a miserable weekend (weather wise). All the cars looked great at the car show in the rain.

We're packing and making last minute preps today, and driving over late tomorrow morning.

Bags are packed!! Oil change on Wilma tonight is last prep work?

Leaving Early 2mro AM with a stop in LR on the way....Steve is supposed to be in Memphis sometime this afternoon I believe in his Teener with a stop-over at Shoe's. I believe Christine is destined to be towed and not driven??

Can't Wait....if this last 6 hours of work would just get out of the way...LOL

I plan to leave around 2pm local time to hopefully get thru Nashville before rush hour and into Memphis after rush hour.
Overnight at Shoe's... hope he is feeling better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
More than that - hope my 914 makes the 6.5 hr drive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Raining right now in Dallas. I still need to get the 914 off the trailer and adjust the valves. Ran like crap at the autocross last weekend. Slight backfire at idle, rough idle and lacked normal power. Also Robyn is running a 105.1 temperature right now. She does want me to take her to the the doctor so I'm giving her asprin and taking her temp every hour, hope it isn't the flu. Things are iffy but I'm pushing ahead to get everything ready for the trip tomorrow.

Not letting an illness stop my ramble, Theraflu and Nyquil are my friends. Oh yeah, Ibuprofin for the aches too. Still lots to do today to be ready to leave tomorrow.

Oh man, that was one saturated Ramble. But the fog socking us in on the way to Queen Willamena Resort gave a certain "haunted" quality to the whole thing.

Didn't seem to squash the 914 atmosphere to much but I had to put on the rain tires! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I always have my car well prepared long before events but for the first time I might have to stay up all night to get the trans back in my car. Then it's a 3.5 hour shakedown to Eureka Springs. Life is good!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

I just went and got my flu shot - I know it protect me for a week or two - but this prompted me to go get it done - I have been wanting to do it for weeks now!

If Robyn is an adult, you need to get her to a clinic or an ER right away. Children can run fevers that high but it is still dangerous. Seizures are common at that high a temperature.

I got Robyn to take some acetaminophen earlier and currently her fever is down to 101.2. No chill at the moment and she went back to bed and is asleep. Will check her temperature in another hour. Rain has stop here in Dallas. Head out back to adjust the 914's valves.

That drive to Wilamena Lodge and back was one of the most treacherous drives I've ever been on. Talimena drive is a challenging run without the super dense fog. At least Charlie didn't get us lost that time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

sorry to go little ot but, that fever was high! glad to hear it's gone down.

carefull with the ibuprophen. i was taking that last week (no more than directed) and it totally acidified my stomach. coming back slowly with some prescription stomach coater but, i wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

haven't been able to drink beer or eat much since friday.

the cure is worse than the disease!

Heading out now. Couple of local stops first and then headed west to Memphis via I-40.

Will try to post photos to the live thread along the way.

Adjusted the valves but still had the slight backfire and rough idle. Then I pulled the plugs and found the the #2 plug wet with fuel. Replaced the injector and the idle is better with no backfire. Robyn is feeling alot better, her fever is almost gone. Moving to the next 50 things to do before we leave.
