Buggy is ready except one cv boot?  One was diff and wouldn't fit.  New ones in tomm after lunch.  Trailer now has little kitchen,  ;D, full size fridge for moare refreshments.  Should be there Wed lunch, just in time for a quick run before ice cream.  Now to throw some undies, 1 pair of shorts, and some flip flops in a bag.

Rear end alignment done, sort of. I need to replace the heim joints. Lot of slack in there. Dang things are only 8 years old.  Don't have enough joints or time to get done. So I will ride a little out of shape. Power drain found. Some dumb s#$t put a constant hot lead to what was to be a switched terminal on a relay, opps. Trailer is clean thanks to my helper. Tomorrow looks to be a packing day. Rolling out Monday AM, shooting for 8 or 9 at the latest. Puts me at LS around 5 if I do not have to stop at Wally world in Alva.

Everyone drive safe!

May God get us all there and back again safely.

I heard there was ice cream on Wednesday night. I was talking with the wood guy and he said he would eat my share. Be careful Glenn, I think he is bringing his own bowl and spoon!! HA HA
Everyone enjoy the ice cream and the riding but be safe.

Well back home and the drive was uneventfull.  Had a super time with all the bunch from DTS.  Really hated to leave but ran out of fuel.  no problems with the car and now will have to go on a diet to lose all the fat I gained over the corse of a week at LS.  We had to tip toe thru some hail on ice cream night but still stuffed 14 people in the mother ship for fun times and lots of home made ice cream.  got a couple of small hail dings in the hood jof the truck as the rest of the guys.  Carl had some major dings in the roof the his new inclosed.  As all have said now that I am running the e-85 fuel I am burnning just right at 35% more then on race gas. But I have so much more torque then ever before.   there were times when I had to use fourth gear to get from one dune to the next.   There is a first time for everything.

Great to see all wonderful people from DTS. Big thanks to everyone for taking in my mother and Bob through out the trip. You truly are a great bunch. The hail storm was a bit of a downer.

I best share it before someone else. I managed to run myself over with my rail. I am scraped and bruised up. Think my ankle is sprained. Plan to go see the doc on Monday. Pretty sure I cant go to work. Walking is difficult to say the least. Big thanks to the guys that lifted the rail off my dumb ass. I will be putting in an clutch safety switch for the starter. Clutch not in, no start.
