Little different through the windshield shot, but my wife said my smile was so big she couldn't pass up this shot. Taken during my recent trek around the yard, driven for the first time since 1987.

Well, I did take a video. I was trying to film a spinout. It didn't show it too well and it's a pretty short clip. But you get a little sense of what's going on.

After all the mini shake down runs for tweaking the thousand items on my list, this morning was the first real trip with significant miles. 115 miles departure to return home. Got out in the country and wandered aimlessly.

Couple out the windshield shots:

How about the view from the rear window?

Not exactly from the rear window.




Can't see anything out the rear window at present....there's a plywood pattern in it that the glass shop is going to use to cut a new glass.

Hey '49,
If I get our truck above 65mph - I start thinking "did I torque down those bolts", "I wonder what that noise is", "Is that shaking feeling the wheels, ujoint, tie rods, falling off".


I see LLBean in your future with that I95 entering Maine sign. Looking good in Massachusetts!
