I am going to do one or the other and if we get a big group together maybe we could get a bus and sit back and relax for the ride.
I was actually thinking of going to that. If we take a bus I cant promise that I wont moon the motoring public lol

Right - I can picture it now.

Everyone riding in the back of my van, lawn chairs & standing room only, and then some wise guy opens the back hatch and . . .

Next thing I know, I'm no longer being overtaken by the usual stream of vehicles.

I look back in my mirrors and wonder how I escaped that pile-up that just happened behind me.



Laughing all the way to the jail that is.

I also have a crew cab and could take extras depending on whether the wife and kid come.

Good evening Ken.

Nothing much happening here at work.

I finished plumbing my new computer for liquid cooling, next is leak checking.

Waiting on Sean to get back to me about a potential good deal on hard drives.

I have to be patient, I know

Out front of the cab was just an open area, whatever that machine was intended for the workings must have been beneath that deck.

Considering the height of the machine on the flatbed I presume it had smaller diameter wheels than general commerce rolling stock.

Most track machines run on 16" or 20" cast or stamped wheels.
