Have a good trip Frank. You will have a great time with the guys/gals at BTS. When Brian takes y'all to eat lunch, the fish sandwich was good.

Good luck Frank and have a safe trip. You will be thrilled with your new trans. I've had mine just a little over a month now and I'm still smiling. It has never pulled through the gears like this.

Oh and there is plenty to be had. Kent hooked me up with 6 cases of my brew. Have a safe trip, it will be good to see you again.

Ha, Brian brought us to a restaurant in town. In fact, he brought the whole shop and payed for all.

I guess it's close to time to start on your trans, Frank.

And Brian noticed I changed tire sizes and asked if he could re-tune my transmission.... Not sure 'no' would have been the right answer!!
