Back from Yellostone NP

Good Morning all Ye Fine Folks....

Went to Yellowstone Saturday morning and returned Sunday.

Met-up with Joe (X-Hemi) and Eric (ExxWhy).
Arrived Saturday early Afternoon. Found Eric and family at a the Norris Campground. Met his wife and teenage daughter. Very nice folks. They even feed me dinner . Later that evening Joe and his wife and 2 daughters arrived. We had one hell of a great time..... Joking, laughing, telling Sea stories, swaping lies..... It was well worth the trip.
Put about 700 miles on the Truck. Got great fuel milage.

No, Gina did not go..... She thinks I should have stayed home and accused me of going to meet a girl.....
I asked her to go with me...... Nope

Sounds like a great trip Roy!!

I spent the weekend cleaning out the garage that we've used for storage for the past nine years since it's been that long since we owned a vehicle that was short enough to fit inside. Now the little wifey is happy because her Taurus is in the garage.

On another note, I had to put the Taurus in the shop today. Turns out that when it was built, they didn't feel the need to put one of the bolts in the hood latch. So it was barely staying closed. They're fixing it now and it'll be done shortly. Must have been put together on a Friday or a Monday.

Yeah really!

A blower? When I stand on the gas in this thing now, the "traction nanny" starts flashing all kinds of lights and this thing struggles not to spin. A blower would likely send me into orbit.
