Projects The Further Adventures of a Car Dad and his Family PICTURE HEAVY

Here are some pics. the 1st ones are from the fishing tournament. The second set are from the transmission swap.
Now I have to put some miles on the car.

Old trans out new trans about to go in Time for a break
He wanted to make sure everyone saw he got grease on his shirt.
I wish I had a shop like some of you guys have
Maybe someday (I hope).

 

says the man with a vette in his shop!!!!!

 

That was my inheritance. We are planning on clearing some land behind the house this year. Maybe we can build something this year or next
How is the Elky running?

 

7 days till Bowling Green after today.
I am going to teach Ethan how to change the oil in the wagon and I will ***ist him tomorrow.
After that all I have to do is clean and rainx the windows check antifreeze and air in the tires and pack.

 

Enloe, forget the Rain X. No rain HRR this year.

Gary

 

Ah, the power of positive thinking!

 

From past experience if there is no rain then it will be hotter than the hinges on the gates of hell

I am positive it will be that way

it is like carrying an umbrella as long as you carry it, it doesn't rain

 

Nice inheritance !

 

Enloe still has my offer to take that old Vette off his hands.

Gary

 

I will have to p***. I am hoping to take it to Bowling Green next year

 

Whats the deal on the Mohawk?

 

that is a tradition every year. he will get it this weekend

 

brother i now have a 32 ford we could talk about trading.......... I would be disappointed if you did.Need to get the vette running, so the kid can enjoy it while he is young, then p*** it on to him.

elky is running good. going to the stones show in Nash vegas, then driving on up!!Me and carlos! unless there is a chance of the R word

 

lets see pics of the 32.
this time next week we will be well on our way

 

Getting closer and closer to the trip!! I can't wait .

 

That is my one legged Amigo from the pics chiming in.
7 days from right now hopefully we will be there doing "stuff"

 

"stuff" mmm that sounds like a lot of fun!!!

 

Ethan will keep us out of trouble.
We needed him 30 years ago

 

I taught Ethan how to do his 1st oil change yesterday. He kept saying "dad I am having a lot of fun".
Just a few minor things left to do and pack then it is time to haul ***. Fortunately we are in a wagon so I won't have to make 2 trips.

 

WoooHoooo closer and closer!!

 

Gonna have to put a new seal in the rear of the transmission I have a gear oil leak

 

Just got off the phone and HAMBer joyflea will be camping with us at the reunion.

 

Well got wagon read to leave Wed. Now it is just a matter of getting everything loaded and ready to go.

 

Last day at work before the annual "Guy Trip" it is only 8 hours but it is a long 8 hours
Ethan has the hair ready so look for this head and I will be close by.

My daughter decided she needed some color also. This is leftover dye from last years guy trip hairdo.

 

Well my phone had been acting up. But I am finally able to post. It has been a ****py trip for me but I am still having fun.

1st night Ethan got sick and projectile vomited in the tent (I am still unsure how he got it on the ceiling of the tent). Then the next morning on the way back from breakfast the rearend came apart in the wagon. I got the wagon pulled back to the campsite with the wheel rubbing the inside of the wheelwell. Then I still had to finish cleaning the tent.
On the plus side I got hooked up with HAMBer JOYFLEA and he said he will haul the wagon home Sunday so that is great (awesome guy and new amigo)
Got to make some new friends and see quite a few old ones all in all good trip and still more to go .

 

I will probably have 4 or 5 hundred pics or more to post next week

 

Enloe,
Very sorry to hear of your troubles. Feel sorry for Ethan. That couldn't have been easy in the heat. Hope he's feeling better.

 

He is good he is already planning next year and we haven't left yet

 

awesome time brother -------------
