Trip

Been planning thip to Dunkirk maryland for about 6 months and evertime, something happens, but it looks like we might get to go on the 16th,even thou i pulled a muscle in my leg hauling trash,kids said i was getting to old to be doing things like that. I just tell them i,m just 78 and cant just stop doing a little work. I will be going by way of I 40 and then hit 81 at a little way out of Knoxville.Might have to call on someone if i have trouble.1995 f350 cc 5sp 259k miles.

Good luck on the trip Jim. I'm way out of the way, but I'm sure there is help along the way. I can pm you my phone number, if you want. If I can't help if needed, maybe I can find someone who can or start a thread for you if needed. Hopefully you don't need any and just have a good trip.

Rest up that leg!
