figured I'd take the time in Pittsburgh to visit with my brother, then with my older brother with me (he will be driving his bike out.....I think, I'm hoping an '83 Honda Sabre will fit in the bed, if it doesn't, sucks to be him) he's gonna be my co-pilot I will swing through Reynoldsberg, OH and visit a long time friend, and then to Elkhorn, WI to see about these places that my older bro claims would be a sin NOT to eat at before heading right home.
then it's homeward bound for this old highway rebel (I miss my trucking days)

Good morning everyone, welcome to Monday. Well, I had an interesting weekend. Went to take the wife's Expedition over to see Joe at Performance Ford, so we could stick it up on the rack to see what needed to be replaced on the steering. So, we put it up, poke around the front end, figure out what we need, then Joe goes to the rear end, just to give it a look. So we get up under the back, and it takes us a minute, but Joe says "Hey, it seems awful open back here.....I look up......No spare tire! the lift cable had been cut clean, some dirty !@^$#@^$%#@^#$@ had stolen the spare tire out of it. Unreal.

How long has it been since you knew there was a spare in there? Wonder where someone could have done that. I dont look under mine very often, so I guess it could happen to me months before I find out about it.

Morning guys.
Pat, I'm sorry to hear of your misfortune.
I've had that happen to me before.
Off to the office, I'll be on if there's insufficient work orders to serve me today.

Morning Randy. I'm setting aside that 79 axle I got from you for now. After using penetrant, heat, and a lot of swearing, the ***** joints STILL won't come out of that thing! I'm going to go ahead and get the stock axle ready, and I'll work on that other one later. Just want to get a rolling chassis for now. Still thinking on that hood Randy.
