I am going to be wherever I want to be really. My "home base", if you will, will be Arvada. So Boulder, Denver, even the springs, or up into the mountains won't be a problem if anybody is interested. I won't have my truck unfortunately, but I am renting a truck, and hope for it to be a Ford. I think we are camping that first weekend I am there, but we'll see. Sometime Monday or Tuesday evening would work well.

I drove it down the street a few hundred feet today...first time it's moved under the power of the motor in ~2 years. There is still a noise that I can hear that concerns me a little after applying the brake, I hope and think it has something to do with the tranny. I am OK with that as I am going to get it rebuilt soon, hopefully that will take care of that.

Progress...

Glad to hear it's alive again! I have a friend who has a neighbor who builds trannys. Did my friends Bronco couple years ago & he has been very pleased with the work. He wheels the crap out of it too.

I leave home at 7 am and dont get home until 11 pm. just enough time to sleep about 5-6 hours. 20 years ago I could have done this without missing a beat, but im an old man now, it takes time to adjust.
