Road trip

Would not be one without at least one roadside repair. Side of a Kansas highway with good friends.

Well, that's progress. How come when I resized the picture it fouled it up? Joe

At least that was an easy one and not something major mechanical.

You bet, I was just looking for an excuse to try posting a picture. Still don't understand why the quality of the picture came out so poorly. Those small, pesky things that happen on road trips just enhance the memory. Now when I was in Louisville a few years ago in my 40 Sedan and my freshly built trans gave it up at a busy intersection, that was not the memory I was looking for. Joe
