I'm planning on being there. It looks like there is a 50% chance of rain. I was hoping to bring my truck, but since I have no wipers, that might not happen. Of course the weather forecast that far out is always questionable.

My plan is to spend the day there Saturday.

No I did not in fact I am in the shop now re arrangeing the brakes. I don't do this stuff often enough to know what I am doing. Joe the reason that the embrake cable in the drum was short was because I had the shoes on backwards. Now all is well. BJ I will call or text you.

Art,
Do you want me to drop down and help you? I don't mind and since I can't drink anymore I'm cheap.

Yeah, I have some. I just checked the weather and the chance of ran has dropped from 50% to 20%. That is enough to drive. I'm looking forward to another trip. Weather will be cooler as well, it looks like 85 as the high.

I've been when there was a light mist. Much better than when I've gone and the sun was roasting you within an hour.

Man there are a bunch of enablers here. That's why I love it. Other folk think I'm crazy for attempting long drives no matter what the weather.

It will be so much easier to haul stuff with my flatbed than the short bed on my other truck.
