    Hey Loudpedal having fun is exactly what we intend to have. Still figuring out what we're going to do after. As far as how Bob made it as shotgun for me, we've been friends for a number of years and he was at my place when he found that I was in the running. He asked right then to ride along if my wife wasn't going. She's in Ut. and Az right now and would be back just in time to unpack, repack, jump in the car and head back out so she declined.

    Heard that but haven't experienced it. However I figure on taking earplugs.

    I resemble that remark, the "old farts" part anyway. I'm still a working stiff, wish I was retired instead of just tired. I wouldn't have to take time off work if I was. But then again maybe I've got my priorities straight, work isn't supposed to interfer with pleasure, right? This experience is for sure going to be pleasure. As far as your place being on the map, do you need an autograph? LOL If you decide to sell that Hemi just tell them where it came from. I'll bet that'll increase the value, sure ah ha LOL

If there is some thing you need in advance like Oil or plugs or certain kind of beer let me know and I will have the oil on Ice for ya. If you might need some auto parts Pm and I will give you my cell number if something breaks on the trip so I have the parts ready for ya. see ya then Rodger

    Good answer! As to the retired stuff well the shop is closing the doors (moving work to India) so I'll be done probably by the end of the year. If not I'll be 62 in Mar and I'll retire then.

    Not complaining (it doesn't do any good) just explaining. Besides it's fat cat corporate that's responsible for the decision not the worker in India
