The star of the show:


The tow rig:


The Gateway Arch at 4AM (St. Louis, MO)


If the only 'event' on this trip is a trailer tire with a slow leak - we are GOLDEN (Branson, MO - NOW!)


We're almost there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm getting new tunes tomorow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I came up with a plan today while hanging out by the lake.... All I need is the slightest excuse to come here - especially in the summer (look up Sky Ski ). Sooooo, I'll be trolling the threads looking for someone to drag out here when it warms up! I'm thinking twin HPOP's next visit.

Gotta get some sleep, going to BTS College tomorow. Seriously, I am taking notes this time!

Great to hear you guys made it and the weather has been beautiful this week...I went fishing yesterday actually, caught 5 3-4lb largemouth, it was a beautiful day. Most of the coves are frozen though. If you get the chance check out the tire prices in Golden, thats where i always go for my tires, 2 distributors across the street from each other, creates competition, and they are the distributors for all of the 4 state areass local shops so they are the source.

Ok, the transmission case is in the parts washer!!! Sounds like some friction material plugged up the solenoid pack - thats why it wouldn't shift from 2nd-3rd. (if it sounds like I dunno what I'm talking about, its 'cause I don't... )

Mike goes back and forth from being more excited than an 8yr old on Christmas morning to being worried to death the more he learns about his beloved PSD - the more $$$$ he's gonna want to spend on it.

In case we didn't mention it, we are having a BLAST!!!

The 2-3 shift valve was stuck - friction material. I guess 2nd clutches were toast.
