    Any plans for automotive stuff this summer? My Ranchero doesn't need any work, but my sister's coming over from MO in early September, so we'll cruise to some favorite Oregon sights. Then I'm signing up for another Redwood Rally drag 'n drive event later that month. No dragging, but tagging along as a 'vagabond' and camping overnight at each track.

    How about you guys?

    Big trip this July, start in MO, then Tulsa, Kansas, then up to SD, Rushmore, Badlands, etc, then Yellowstone + Grand Tetons, then north to Glacier Nat'l park on the Canadian border. Then figure a direction to point us back to CT. Probably gone for 3-4 weeks. Screw work :eek::D just wanna ride around and look at stuff.

    Yep 33 years, One of the items is a soda vending machine that is set at 50 cents :eek: Probably tops out a $1.00 so probably can't even use it today.
    No help loading but no big deal. It should only take a couple hours, 3 engines, coke machine, welding table, wheeled gantry crane, and a few other small items.

    No travel plans, but will be angling for 1 more day a week off at work. That would make it Fridays and Mondays (and weekends) off.
    Takes getting used to, but I think I will manage.
    Slowly starting to get back to work on the Ranchero. The stock steel wheels are in for paint.
