Ottawa Bound!

Heading east to meet and deal with IDI diesel Jon, will likely be about an hour or so before I'm on the road. Seeing as I have to go right past one of the largest country jamboree's in the province that is going on this weekend, not sure how long it'll take. Mapquest puts me at almost 4 hours door to door.

Rumour is there's a bunch of Ford truck parts that may follow me back home though!!

Your tailgate is loaded now, just gotta hook up the trailer and head out. I'll give you a call when it looks like I'm an hour or so out from your place.

We'll cross paths again sometime I'm sure. Was nice meeting both 'John' and 'Jonathan' though, too bad it was as late in the evening as it was. Got home mid-afternoon today, decided that since I had a place to stay near the city to hit MEC before heading home. Always enjoy my visits to Ottawa, unfortunate that it's not a bit closer!!

Well, if I had a passport, got more than 10MPG so I could make my trip to North Massachusetts, then I would be all for that. I bet I could do sky hill, though! SRW 2WD or not, it's all about the throttle control.

I been up skyhill twice in his IDI, in 2wd mode. Does it fine! As long as you have speed.

Did it once in 4 LO, 1st gear, and crawled up. Was awesome!
