To see him at that venue was a bucket list check for sure. Special evening.
I’ll bet! I’ve seen him at several places similar. Flew in last summer to see him at Floore’s but he canceled the show as he’d been playing extra benefit shows after the Guadalupe River flood and was tired out 🙁
 
Road trip!! I tell folks often; id rather drive the 62 than the bronco on long road trips. My favorite road trip car of all time!! Cruise control would be nice... but... Headed a couple of hours North to visit close friends Steve and Marry and their new to them Fj40. Steve was the one who donated the tetanus cruiser to us. He got this 40 for summertime cruising in the north country back roads. Great little car, but it needs a PTO winch! I happen to have 2 so this 40 will get one of them along with the gearbox and pto shafts. Will love seeing it reconditioned and riding out front on this beauty.

For the first time in 6 years I fired up my XL-Big Green Egg., Ive cooked many KCBS comps with this rig, I forgot how fun it was to load it up and roll smoke. Had a party Saturday and we did 30LBs pulled pork, 30LBs brisket. Cows occupy that field across the road...when loading up the XL with brisket i cant help but feel that the cows are watching. Also met several neighbors at the garage condos as there is something about cars and BBQ that bring folks out. With the tetanus cruiser out of the shop Roy has his spot back.

Got the ARB Bumper back today and did a test fit. The PO ran into something that bent the stock FB and seems to have bent the frame a bit. With some "influence" i got the reconditioned ARB bumper to fit. I was blown away with the quality of work the fellas at the shop did to get this one back and looking amazing. Now, lets see if @razzoo goes for it... fingers crossed! Sliders should be done by the end of the week. Having new brackets custom made. This should mitigate any damage should we encounter some crazy TX and Wi deer crossings. Hill Country is crazy with Deer...

Couple more weeks in our current spot with access to my Happy Place. got busy on my last projects for the summer on the 62. Installed replacement dash, 97% improvement! In the "while were at it" territory i swapped in the antenna from Tetanus as well. Clean dash AND working antenna! How many 62 owners can claim that! Were getting new tires aswell and I have been trying to talk @razzoo into the black steel rims and old school hub caps. Mr Hogan came over and helped me with the swap... While these tires are a tad smaller that what we will replace them with it was a test fit to see if we liked the look. She liked toe look! Will order up the rims and tires this week. Meantime we roll on Roys. Last project for now will be front breaks... they started makin noise. This week we get the arb side rails back from the sand blast and powder coating and will trial fit those as well. Who knows, maybe she will want to keep that look... will see.
