Not to give anything away,

but I got to see a preview of the trophies that @RiqueMar is making.

What can I say?

That boy has skills.

You are going to want to take home some of this hardware.

How about ME

I'm IN for a little swag. PM me an address so I can ship next week.

I was lucky today. I took Kugel in for an alignment and "Road Force wheel balancing" in preparation for Rt66. Rather than wait 2 hours I walked down to my favorite hardware store and killed a little time there. When I returned they told me that they couldn't balance the wheels because they were afraid they'd damage the center caps. I returned home and removed the center caps so I could drop off the wheels back off to them in the morning. When I removed the wheels I found the r front outer bearing was kaput. I replaced inner/outer & races. That would not have been a fun thing to do in AX or NM.

Good catch!

For those of you that are old enough....these molded "big guys" were made for advertisement purposes all over the mid-west and western US. This particular one has held several things in his hands including as you might of guessed a rifle, a muffler, video games...quite a roadside history. You may remember them near a Phillips 66 station.....hence the story on R66.

That's doable. See you there.

To avoid congestion in metro Kingman, how about a few miles east on I-40 at exit 66.

Look for a white 944 on I-40. Deb and I are leaving Camp Verde around 10. BIL is following us to SF so we’ll be doing the speed limit…you might catch us

Yesterday I did a third shakedown drive, going about 40 miles. I had been struggling with a weak battery and found that the ground strap from the trans to body was barely attached. Gave the contacts a good cleaning and bolted it back down. Hopefully that'll help.

Temps are a bit on the warm side in NM.

Maybe I gonna have to push off on Monday. Are you all staying in Santa Fe on Wednesday night? Right now I am trying to decide when to cut west and when to drive south. Maybe go through Colorado Springs. I have been doing yard work to get used to the heat. Near freezing through the end of May and then the 90s.

YES.

All the dates and locations are in the first post of this thread.

I am getting to Santa Fe early on Wednesday to explore. Many others will be arriving throughout the day and evening. (dinner in Vegas,)
Thursday at 9:14 am is the first drive. Some have said they will not get there until Thursday evening.
Sill more will show up on Friday or even only Saturday in Winslow. (A few will not caravan with the group to Winslow.)

Dress to Impress. Costumes Encouraged. There will be a special prize for the best outfit.

It can be interpreted any way you want. I am simply trying to encourage everyone to have fun.
Black tie attire is allowed, but not expected. Dress up, dress down, dress out. Just put some thought into it.
Whatever will make the other diners envious or terrified of our little party.
