Well fellers, Shari and I are about to have an empty nest. 
Tim has had a job offer from a large
dealership in Raytown (South of Kansas City).
He has 3 Grandparent, and Aunt's, Uncles, and Cousins all over the area. He starts this next Thursday.
That also makes it easier for Shari and I to go deeper into the woods when we start house shopping. When we moved back home, we chose Nixa since it's between 2 large cities (well for here, they're large), Branson, and Springfield.
Hope y'all are doing well.

Cab swap on my 77. The 77 floors are non existent like way beyond repairable, roof blew off once(it's currently boltes to the cage and Bondo back on) cab corners are shot, passenger door was is barely staying on and so on.
I traded a guy I know in SC a 460 crank for the one on the trailer, and he bought me and the wife lunch. Cab corners have a little rust but that's about it. While I was downI also dropped him off a set of heads to be ported and setup

Enjoying the nice long weekend here. Just hit one snag. Put my buddies 10 year old kid in Lucille, but had the big trailer hooked up. I guess she got nervous, because backing up, she forgot to hold the brake.
Im kind of glad Leonard trailers are cheap and crappy. Bumper only ended up with a small dent, trailer tongue bent both sides. I'll never buy another Leonard trailer again.

Sorry to hear about the trailer.
Long weekend? I had to work Sat. took a load of LP out to Swan Quarter, NC. 3 hours 1 way.
Small off load site and all mud and raining. Got stuck going in got free to get close to off load trailer and got stuck again getting out.
Truck felt loose on the way back to Apex. On the post trip inspection found the 2 right rear tires (supper singles) had the tread peeled off them. Could not see that with all the mud back at the site.

I like the red ones? You've got this figured out. No Velcro even. The voice of experience I assume.
