Gail has never been this far east, so should be an interesting trip for her.

Good evening Wyoming. Just got back from the dealership. We are now the proud owners of our second Ford. A 2008 Ford Escape.

[quote=97nukeford;7793721]Good Morning Miles, Orin. Had the opportunity to have breakfast with Steve and Gail this morning, SoCal's chapter leader. Great people, nice to chat face to face for once! Orin, you guys will have to boogie to see all of Yellowstone in that short of time![/quote]

It is about 10:30 and it was a fun day..........the final drive in the boat was supposed to have been rebuilt shortly before they quit the boat to put it up for sale, the repairs were reported at around $1,600. I don't know a lot about that stuff but understand the concept figuring out real quick while breaking that thing down that my state brand inspector son who is grease challenged could have done a better job on that than who ever that worked on it before. I turned in a pretty good parts order and a housing that will require welding for a crack.

I won't even go there with the swather but will be putting in an all dayer tomorrow as well.

I will hope to convince him to stick around another night but even then I doubt that we will be able to see the whole park. Oh, well that is the reason why when I plan on really doing anything that I go by my self and liking that idea more all the time. Not discoraged though as will be fun to get away and someone else does some driving.

Congrats Miles, on your new Ford Escape..........plan on any perforance options in a little while? Good night all.

Good morning Tammie, Pat. Going to pick up the new addition today. we drove it around for a good hour and a half yesterday and it seemed like new. It was a rental car for a little over a year but looked great. The tires and brakes looked new, the oil and trans fluid was really clean, the interior has one little scratch on the dash and one dent on the door pillar that holds the glass. We also got the drag racer discount.

2 mph wind in Cheyenne?? that's just crazy talk. You must have left out some numbers. maybe a couple of zeros...Yeah, that's probably it.....you meant 200!!
