Was there a problem with the prep they had done for you?

I'm talking about ALL the way out.
The Simmons castle at the tip of the south fork.
Think I remember passing the house you are talking about.

Not sure yet if there will be a problem, they are supposed to avoid the fireboxes if possible, hopefully they didnt mess those up! I haven't seen this castle you speak of!

"White Caps" was built during the depression by the owner of Simmons Mattress.
There's also a private Simmons Lane here in Greenwich that was once the drive to another one of his estates.

When I worked out there it was owned by Lee Hanley, another Greenwich resident with Houston oil money.
Real nice down to earth guy who liked to get away from the office and share time with his family.

I am trying to call around and get some prices on paint jobs for my truck. Called a guy here in Middletown who said he would need to see the truck, but figured from my description that it would start around 1500, maybe 2000 and go up from there depending on how much extra work would be needed. I've been asking around to get recommendations, but not many people have any.

Picked up a new sector shaft seal kit from Monaco today. Hope that works a bit better.

Kyle...Yes...kinda. I will still get to wheel it, just not out here where the truck gets so scratched up. The trails are much more open out west, so you don't have to worry as much about scratches. The paint job, if it even happens, won't be for a while, so I can still get some trips in.
