Nope, 60 foot fall into a creek bed. Search and rescue had to rope him up the cliff. Bad thing was his wife was with him camping. So sad, he was only 41 years old.

"suuuuuup fellas? I am sitting outside on my laptop enjoying this nice cool Fall weather here in the Hill Country. It's nice to have a day off from classes and work. The sky is bright blue, UT play the Sooners today, and life has been pretty good. Just an update for my brethren. We have been in Texas for year and it just never took with either of us. We have a chance to head back home to the West Coast and will be doing so in January. I have been helping my FIL with some house issues he has been having and I have to keep my promise and finish that out, but after that we are outta here. It was a good stay for a little while and we had some questions answered. We are both looking forward to going home. That's it in a nutshell. The good part of this that there will be a new thread on Ruby when the road trip commences!! Hopefully it will be different this time with all of the mods that have been done since the last trip from there to here.

Enjoy your Saturday and some college football!! I am not a Longhorns fan,but when they play OU, I will definitely hope for the best for them!! So.....goooo Longhorns!

At least you tired to fulfill your dreams and if it didn't work out, now you know instead of wondering about it the rest of your life! Take it slow and if your in the area stop by. I think you have my number, if not PM me.

Thanks Glenn! My sentiments exactly. You only fail when you don't get back up. I do have your number and I'll keep in touch.

On another note...Holy water in fuel Batman!! This is the nastiness that drained out of my fuel filters after I changed them

I love this idea. I want to do this to mine. What year did you pull the new seats from, and how did they mount in?
