It is 21,000 miles one way, I am figuring 2.5 days, maybe less since I won't have to stop every 37 mins for Beth to inspect a bathroom. I have been to every single bathroom from the UP of Mish to Greenville SC
Wait, a minute. You will have to drive east through Europe and Asia to make it 21,000 miles.

Seriously, you are welcome to the bedroom and whatever you may need. You can even bring Beth

I see you aren't taking Peggy for this trip then. Good luck. Hope things work in your favor. Are you going to stop by to say hi to odd job?

Had a very solid conversation with the service manager in Tucson, tomorrow some paperwork and maybe a trip out on monday.
My son and his wife really really want my house so I told them I would let it go to them for the payoff, which is a smoking deal. I might just get to spend my 50th in Tucson as a resident.

It's actually brushed.....apparently they provide better low speed torque and the truck is, technically, a crawler.

At one point, I had it in a rhythm where it would hit the wall, start climbing the wall until vertical, tip over and rock just enough for the front tires to grip and flip it back over.....then repeat....it was pretty funny.

Awesome Rick! And way to help your son out too! Hopefully the good karma pays off!

On a phone the sig does not show.

Well at least you have what the majority of the Stijiners drive, a 911. Now for the win is it a WHITE 911 like so many of the good looking, intelligent, modest, funny, very shy, and with the biggest load of BS people.
