Enjoy All. I will lift my glass for you (maybe more than once).

How many days in your restored truck? Heck, you could sleep in the back and cut expenses.... Your curmudgeonly input will be missed

Yep. Billy set me up with an expert alignment guy, and his tire shop. They had a set pf Pilot Sport AS3s, and moved my car right in to the installation booth.

We are headed up with Billy and Diane this morning. See you by noon.

but if you make your way to NY, I'd bet he'd make an exception for you.

Jerry, I wish my truck was restored – it certainly needs a new bed. I still have not worked out the all the details on how to ensure I can get a proper decent one in TN. At the moment I’m working on alignment and tire issues; I’ve been back to Belle Tire twice this week (they set the toe in wrong on one side, and used the wrong style wheel weights) and it still pulls to the right.

Patricia, I don’t recall what lame excuse I used either. I do know I hate driving the wife’s Subaru, so I would not come in that.

Jim, its nice to have friends in high places, and they are such nice folks as well. Happy trails.

Lainey, we miss not being there but I’m sure Rick won’t have to drink alone to celebrate his freedom.
