I can understand the difference with the fuel prices, but in reality, it may only cost an additional $5-10 round trip in fuel. Hope that you can change your mind and come and meet up with us.

The difference in fuel will be an xtra 30 for me, well worth it..I wish I had the time slot open for it, Great trip, great place,, GREAT PEOPLE..Really think you should reconsider. This park was chosen because of how practical it was for the MOST people to have the opertunity to get there, although local GTG's are most certainly not un heard of and encouraged..

Is it wrong to be concerned that my battery light ISN"T flashing anymore. I kind of got used to it blinking. It's amazing what a new alternator will do.

Now just to get the steps on, and the Jeep back together and life will be good again.

No warranty for my blower bought it used last fall, thinking I was going to save a few dollars. I could have bought a new one for what I have into this one. But on the side note, I know exactly how it is put together.

Heading to watch the Tigers this afternoon. Sure hopew the sun comes out by then.

That sucks on the warranty.. Blower is a pretty neat piece isnt it? THey make such a big deal out of a rebuild of one, but it really isnt all of that. Except you can see why they want a clean room, not much room for garbage in there.

Starting to slowly loose my truck, my cab is rusting away, my bed is starting to show its age.. now, I have no interior lights or power windows due to some dam unseen, unfound CB.

Might need to go find Tim here soon, MY stero turns to CD for no good reason while I am driving down the road.. ITs killing me..

I know how you feel Pat! Put a Florida bed on my truck last year - have to do the paint on the lower part of my doors here very soon. And my stereo has a CD in it that it won't give me back - or even play! But I will never, EVER give up my 7.3 even if it means putting a new cab on it.

I threw in the towel beccause of rust....if you look at my rockers I built step bars/rock rails and cut 3 or inches from bottom of doors following the rocker profile (inside skin of door was mostly gone there anyway). Will try to find better pics on my desktop later.

Edit-not much better but its all I got unless someone wants to track down the new owner.
