There is a small chance I will be driving by Manteca either tomorrow night, or Sunday. Not sure which, or if at all. A FTE member of the Nevada chapter is making a deal with the NV chapter leader's husband. Swapping a Ford F150 for a Subaru, and he wants someone to go with him as a back up driver. I have offered to tow his truck to Silver Springs Nevada, and the Subaru back with us. He lives in South Lake Tahoe, so I would go right by you again. I have not received a response from my offer, so I don't know if he will want to do it or not.

Will do, however, it looks like he is only 50-60 miles away from Silver Springs, and I am over 300, so I doubt it would be feasible.

Okay, I stand corrected. I will be going up to South Lake Tahoe this weekend. I figure to leave some time this evening, and get there late, maybe stay in a motel if one can be found cheap enough. Then head over to Silver springs sometime Sunday morning, and come back Sunday afternoon to drop off the Subaru. Then head back here after that. So my guess would be sometime Sunday night I'll be in your area Scott.

IIRC there is another FTE member in the Tahoe area, if you see this Tim, and will be home Sunday, maybe I can stop by and see you too.

Okay, will the trip has been postponed for the moment, a family issue has come up on Bruce's end, so I will not be going up to Lake Tahoe this weekend.

Happy Sunday Nor Cal FTE and friends! Hope everyone has a blessed day.

The deal has been cancelled by Bruce's wife. She wants Bruce to thin out his herd, and not trade for another vehicle, so I will not be going up to South Lake Tahoe to assist. No worries, saves me gas money. Although I was looking forward to another road trip.

I would drive two hours for a BBQ, and to see that green pool too. Of course, by then it will not be green as Lil Bubbles will have made you clean it so she can swim in it!

I know I missed it. Been using the swamp cooler these past few days. Think I missed spring too.

Happy Monday Nor Cal FTE! Hope everyone has a great week.

Well, it looks like I will be going to visit the Nevada chapter leader and her family next weekend. So I will be making the trip to Silver Springs after all, just not to assist in a swap this time. We will just have a mini gtg.
