:bounce:HAD A BLAST:bounce2:
 
I made it too.

I got to the birthday party to the 2nd half.

I got home fine.
Cruiser has a some sort of snoring noise occasionally and a moisture /leaky steering box,which I knew that needed repair before the trip.

The other snoring noise can't figure out. No problem moving no dash board lights on. God knows what it is. May be the power steering pump gets stuck occasionally,who knows. Yes, there's oil on power steering container. Needed very little.

I had to go 60-65 mph.

Winds were pretty strong and the little trailer on the trailer would move scary.

Glad to see all of you and meet new faces.

For those of you that did not attend.
At this point this Mes'kin got seniority guys. Maurice originally from South Africa, I think that's how you spell it, He came from Tennesse and guess who got harrased with the English language?

Had a great cold time
 
Rolled in around 8:30. Had a blast like always!

Later,
 
Got in on Saturday, slow going against the wind.
Had a great time! As always, the WToE set the standard (thankfully, very low).
Hope to get my computer fixed today so I can look at porn again at home. Stuck with using the work computer for now.
Happy Trails! N

Lindy and I made it home yesterday afternoon in time to unload before the rain. Just now got to the 'puter. We had a blast. :bounce::bounce::bounce2::bounce2: Glad to hear everyone made it / is making it back home without any hitches. Nice pics posted so far. We will try to post some but may not be able to until we get back from Scottsdale, AZ. Gotta go try to get smarter. :flamingo::beer::flamingo:
 
We made it in at 6 am this morning! What a haul. Thanks guys for all the hospitality and a great time. That band kicked Ass!

Got in 4 hours ago. 2760 miles round trip. Not a hitch with the truck or the drive. I had one heck of an excellent time!

Got to meet up with pappy in Albuquerque.

Got to the Hard 8 in time on Wednesday to hear Randy on the radio. He's BONAFIDE!

Thanks to Butch for arranging the Wednesday night accomodations.

Had a great time wheelin the 45 on Thursday. Made some folks nervous wheelin the skinny-tires up the crack at the Cotton Bales, but the rig rode the line just fine. Climbed some obstacles I had doubts about. Made good use of the sliders and the rear bumper. Pretty much saved the passenger side of the bed from ending up like the driver's side.

Had a LARGE time hangin with the Cottonland boys Thursday evening. Those of you who have not had the pleasure to hear Bodean's dad sing and play the guitar really missed out on some first class entertainment:). It goes a LONG way to explaining where Bodean got his musikality from!

Thursday night's highlight had to be getting a chance to play Randy Kruse's vintage Martin. It is without a doubt the finest muscial instrument I have ever had the opportunity to put my fingers to. Copperhead Road will never be the same.

Friday I finally put down the old-school mantle long enough to wheel one of the Trail Team FJs. Super kudos to RockcrawlinToy for letting me take the 'special' course [pretty much wherever the heck I felt like pointin it] That was another large time.

The special stories Butch shared with me and Chris about David made it easier to sit thru Kowboy's eulogy before the raffle. I hope Butch will take a few minutes to type them out and share them on the board, They are great stories, and I am already passing them on to appreciative listeners here in Kali.:)

I had the chance to listen to a very different John D. Hale band than I heard two years ago, and though Butch thinks it was just me listening with different ears, I have no doubt that John is a lot more comfortable AND professional as an entertainer than two years ago. Having him accompany ME on the mandolin was very, very special. Every one who went to bed after John's show also missed the highlight of the evening, which was Randy ABSOLUTELY nailing a cover of Folsom Prison Blues.

Saturday Butch and I went out with the VA boys and got in some good technical wheelin, and I enjoyed rockin Ol Yeller for the Wise One.

There's a whole mess more stuff spinnin thru my head, but I'm tired of typing for now.

:cheers:
