Michael, can we have your event the day after SOP? Then we can all convoy out there, and don't have to tie up another weekend! ;)

I was kinda thinking right after the spring rush is over for us farming type. Can't you remember I didn't make it to SOP last year due to harvest??? :lol: Can I first get a house built and moved to said location, and maybe even a shop????

A convoy would be cool though, get a bunch of smokey, old, dodges lined up and traverse three states together!!!!

I prep motors for 240,260, 271, 280, and 310 models. Sucks I have to work on GM based motors, but at least I don't have to crawl around a greay nasty engine compartment.

Cool. There's a lot of those down here on the lakes. Too fast for me.
:shock:
We've had SeaRays since 1980 and like them pretty good. All GM too except for one furd power plant.
Are you pining for the crew cab or another?

Another. I want dually again. Seems after I traded my early 91 D250/drw conversion for the crew cab, I decided I wanted it back. It does make me feel better to go count the stack of cash I got for the rusty four door though :pottytrain:

^^^what he said.

Its not that I really miss it that much, but more like its now exactly what I want and I got rid of it. I sure could kick myself for that move.

Ahhhh. A wise Greek once said that the nature of man's desires is to never be truely satisfied. And Franklin said that we never know the true wealth of water (or a truck) until the well runs dry...

I miss the hood and never even owned it!

But with all my new mods I can be there and back before she even misses me... ;)

My business card says Civil Designer - means I don't have my PE yet so I can't call myself an engineer. I work for a firm that does land development projects, mostly in NW Oregon.
