.....................I think they call those Mexican dump trucks....Glad everyone was able to miss it as that could have proven to be ugly.

 

Funny the changing times. As a young man they were called Irish dump trucks and a shovel was an Irish back hoe. Be safe guys and make history.

I've already tweaked the return trip stops to correlate with our experienced gas range.

I've also checked the weather for this week and next. Should be great here all week but will get warmer (91) on Saturday and 99 on Sunday. Bad news is next Monday and Tuesday are expected to be much hotter than on our way here. The good thing about weather forecasts is that they usually change... I hope for the cooler!!

I'm putting my top down later this morning... for the rest of the week!!

Pictures to follow.

Couldn't Sleep Al

 

Al--Can`t wait for those pics.....
