You had another bowl of Jeff's beans?
Just been busy getting ready for vacation starting the 12th. Fixing to put about 2500 miles on the Pavement Princess toting the 5th around. Not looking forward to burning up an estimated 250 gallons of diesel...but everything else we are!

Holy Smokes! Who's this guy posting in the monthly thread?!?!?The furthest point will be my Grandmother's in Michigan (middle of the lower peninsula). Got a stop outside KC, a couple in St.Louis, going to see the Henry Ford/Greenfield village in Dearborn and last stop will be Pigeon Forge. It has taken us over a year to save up the $$$ for it, but so far everything has been under budget and there's a little padding in that too. And to make fun the it for the 7.3 guys, I'll have the laptop & AE with me just in case the mill under the hood gives me any grief.

Nothing gives ya' a great night's sleep like thunderstorm and lots of rain falling on the roof. Got back last night, decided not to go to Pigeon Forge (everyone was getting home sick over the weekend)...but we still managed to stack over 2,600 miles on the truck in 11 days. For the record gentlemen, 5 o'clock traffic in Indianapolis, Detroit and St. Louis stinks worse than the aroma from a pig truck...I didn't plan on traveling through them at 1700; it just happened that way. Hopefully in a couple of days I'll have time to get some of the photos from Dearborn/Henry Ford Museum uploaded. We spent two days there and could have easily spent another two and not see everything. I had forgotten how big that place is, only been 20 years since I was there last.
I wasn't really sweating the truck, just trying to travel prepared...just in case. It is a mechinal device and we all know if it moves/turns it will eventually break. My luck would be in the middle of nowhere Illinois in the dark.Gees Jeff, it takes a special kind talent to pull a stunt like that. Here's a tall glass of ice cold tea to a quick recovery.
