I think it moved!

Today my panel truck moved under it's own power for the first time in probably 35 years. I've been 6 years getting it to this point. I'll get it aligned tomorrow then can finish with assembly, hopefully have it registered and on the road in the next month or so. I am really stoked to be this far along.

You deserve to be stoked, this is a really special time. It's kinda like when a new baby is born into the family, it's one of those wonderful feelings that really can't be described unless you have experienced it. Congratulations, get that puppy safe, legal, and Rock On.

Nice going, Gary. Persistence and hard work--probably a little $ too--win in the end! Congratulations on completing your 6 year project. Enjoy the ride.
