Ok then the 21st is in the run since that's a good date for James, and Josh, I'm good with that same day, as well as Dusty.
So the 21 of January sounds like a good date so far. Any seconds and 3rds?!

I'm debating if I want to take Ka'Bluey that far yet. I really leaning towards keeping him pretty local for a while.

Well it's what a 45 minute drive each way. If there are bugs, you should find them on that drive. Besides, I hear Ed knows a good tow truck driver, since his old Ford broke down on the way to the dinner one time.

I do remember that, but I don't want to fix bugs on the side of the hiway at night. I've had my share of that years ago doing service calls on 18 wheelers on a shoulder of a hiway with cars going by missing my azz by inch's going 70 miles an hour.
But I'm still panning it over. He really could use a ride like that to stretch his legs.
I'm baby sitting the beer fridge...I meant smoker today. Tomorrow I take my step daughter to the airport. She's been here since the 22nd of December. Then I'm in the driveway going over wire issues on Ka'Bluey
If anybody wants to come over, I'll be here, most likely half mad, but I'll be here.

It couldn't hurt, only think to worry from the sound of it would be the tires holding air. You are about as close to Lillington as I am to Apex.

Bob, if it makes you feel better, my place is about halfway in between, so if anything happens we can drag him to my place.

I remember that from my days of driving the RAP wagon for Mercedes. We had a full time day time guy, but a rotating shift every week of full fledged tech's who took the RAP wagon home every night. I was one of the three who volunteered.. free gas and some extra cash in the pocket. If I wanted a call out, all I had to do was fire up the smoker and open a beer, the beeper was guaranteed to go off.


But anyway.. Looking forward to tomorrow night.

I like that, Volun-Told


I"m planning on making it to dinner tomorrow, as long as Shari get's home alright. She's out of town for work for a couple of day's, and is supposed to be home Thursday sometime.
I'm not driving Ka'Bluey that far. A long with that Left Rear axle seal leaking, and a couple of tires that have cracks that I'm not wild about, now I also have a carb that is leaking right on top of the intake manifold. Last thing I need is to finally get em' back, and burn it down.
We may be having a truck to work on one warmer weekend.
Who's in!
