Don't wanna "Mace" it....

or, "Nolen" it either....

zero test time tho, however my luck has (HAS) been better than either of them....

oh yeah, I'd yawn if I were driving an 80 too....

 

[Quazii]

Are we there yet?
My 'yawn' 80 is ready to go!

Kiddie Wheelin

My wife and I were thinking about putting are girls Power Wheels on a trailer so they could "wheel" around camp. This would be during the down time of course. Does this sound like a good idea or like a idea?

Less than 2 weeks!

 

[Kaderabek]

Hell yeah that's a good idea, as long as I can have a ride!

Maybe put a flag on it so they're super visible though.

dug the Lemon out this morning.....6 degrees, 6" of snow on the roof, 4 feet in front of it and around the drivers side.....

fortunately, we know the local bus travel agency owners, so it's inside and thawing now....C's busy cleanin 'er up....

amazingly, having sat since October, it started and ran fine....worst part, other than shoveling, was getting it unstuck from the 4" of ice the right rear duals were buried in....

now, breakfast time, and cruiser time.....

 

[Kaderabek]

Meanwhile in the sunny South.... Faced with the prospect of seeing Jim Reiss soon I washed my truck today. Vacuumed the interior too. Now I'm ready.

The Griswolds go to Texas

If there are 4 guys in my truck on the way to Texas we'll need to put some gear on the top. Got the bag on eBay for $12, the boxes inside the bag (2) from some industrial plastics place in NJ. Did a little test run on it today and then hit the bag with some Scotchguard. The bag attaches to the rack with 8 straps with little locking clamps on them, and then I threw the strap over the top just to be on the safe side. Can't hear it up there at 75 mph. Probably getting about 2 mpg though.

Yeah, I'm bored.

Excellent idea. Hadn't thought of that

 

[Kaderabek]

Lots of tall traffic through that lot. I have little ones too, wish I could bring them.
