  1. Woody and I are heading north today to St. Louis. Hopefully the rain will stay away so we can catch a game tonight at Busch Stadium. We will head to Chicago after that (Wrigley Field) and then return to Kirkwood, Mo. on Thursday to prepare for the Great Race.

    I will start a new thread at some point so I don't completely hijack this one.

    A quick summary is we go down the length of Route 66 and end at the Santa Monica pier. Hit Universal Studios for a couple of days (and a baseball game - to continue the theme) and then make it home by July 4th.

    Drive friendly..... The Texas way!

  2. I did that a few years ago. Mine were fused shut.

    I came out Friday night at the Nationals to find my ignition on as well. Luckily, no ill effects that time. :)

    Hmm. That's weird. I know both of our cars were unlocked. I would like to think that it was just a coincidence, but I have had people mess with things before.

    It's not going to affect how much I have loved my trip so far. Let's not travel down the path of what D's people can be...

  3. I came out this morning and noticed that my key was in the on position. Battery dead. Got a jump and the car started right up. There is a minor burning smell inside the cabin now. If I had burnt the points, would the car have started and run well?

    The wagon has a fancy pants alternator in the genny case, so it wouldn't be an overheating voltage regulator.

    Thanks y'all

  4. Caught up with some old friends.

    Met some folks I have only communicated with for a while.

    I had never met Mudbone. I met Tony M. , 2carb40 and a few others I can't think of. This is THE REASON to come to the Nationals for me.

    Now... All of you dummies who are reading this who are in Springfield. I am going to be down at my wagon around 7-7:30. The cooler has beer in it. Bring more. Bring ice. Bring a chair.

  5. I was supposed to show up tomorrow, but Woody said "keep driving Poohbutt!!!"

    We got here after 11 hours of driving approximately 700 miles.

    Just got back from having drinks with Brian D., Smartin and his lovely bride to be, and the Pats who I will be assisting on the Great Race.

    I feel so happy right now.

    Kinda sweaty too.....

  6. Shoot. We played many shows with the Reverend. Gatton threatened to steal some trim from my Special at a show at Fort Reno park in DC where we opened up for him when I was 18. He was a hot rod guy to the core.

  7. Like.

    A lot!!!

    Thanks Lamar. I grew up playing along with Robert Gordon records. I was also a freaky kid in the 70's who liked black and white comedies from the 40's.
