Texas barbecue lunch while fueling up

We passed a 40 for sale in on 285 in Jefferson at the bottom of Kenosha Pass. Nothing else yet.

I didn’t see that!

I made it to the cabin. It’s hailing and raining pretty hard. Smooth travels everyone.

Limon, CO-the road from KS line to here has to be some of the worst in the country.

 

[Shells]

On the road!

Hi everbody, I'm your replacement Karl.

General question for the group…not a dig but curious. Why are so many people towing their 80’s and 60’s? I sort of understand towing a 40 as long distance might not be so comfortable.

Easy answer see the camper. It’s super comfortable gets the same mileage as a loaded 80.
If I break the 80, I just need to get it on the trailer

I don't know about other people, but there's usually at least 3 things wrong with my 80 at any given time.

Real time help needed. I drove through some awful wind and rain and the soft top ripped all the way up the right. Anyone have the great ideas forreadily available heavy duty thread… I need sailcloth thread. Maybe some heavy duty sewing needles and rag fishing from the local Walmart? or do I just gorilla tape it?

I have a small spool of braided 40 lb fishing line as well as 1mm micro paracord. Don't know about a needle large enough to see with it though? The heavy Kevlar line or bank line and a sail needle should be available at walmart etc.

 

[DangerNoodle]

I'm 1/2 way there, still need to pack. Anyone need anything picked up from Classic Cruisers? I'm 30 mins away with plenty of space still.

 

[bottombracket]

I’m in the Greeley Walmart now. I’ll explore.

Two humorous things: when I was redoing my 80 steering wheel, I bought something like 19,000 feet of braided line that turned out to be way too thin for the steering wheel unfortunately, now that’s about 900 miles away.

Second, I’m a surgeon in real life. I was going to bring a whole suture kit with me just in case, but I was like, no, leave work at home.
