    Next time????? My engine aint even cold yet,,,,,,but it was great to see you again and meet Nightmoves,,,,,,Its a lot of work driving like 15 hours a day for 9 days and watching those street lines go by for 5000 miles. But you need to do it while you can,,,,,,,,gas prices are going up each day now,,,,,

    I need to get back adjusted to my time zone which is 2 hours earlier than what I had to deal with on the road. I sure did outdo myself on the food back there,,,,,,,
