    I finally made it home last night from the Roundup. **

    Just wanted to check in and say what a fantastic time I had in Owensboro with a great bunch of people! (y)

    Got the truck unloaded last night, but did not get the car off the trailer. I'm anxious to see why I had only 7 out of 8 sparks coming out of my distributor!


    **We took the long way home via Wisconsin. I went to see my mom and sister in Madison, Wisconsin. Then we hit all casinos and antique stores on the the way home! :D (2953 total miles round trip)

    My 7 cylinder Maverick, by the way, is 8 again. All I had to do was put the old distributor cap back on! There was a crack on the aluminum in the knobby where the #1 wire was plugged in. I don't suppose I could get my money back on the cap even though it only had 100 miles on it at the most. Being an installed electrical part, I bet not!

    I was just looking thru my pictures. I forgot to tell you guys about this. I came out Monday morning after I got home from round-up and this is the 1st thing I saw. :( My car was still on the trailer so I was happy that I didn't pull forward another 20 feet. Getting pretty close to the Sprint too. Just another one of the after effects of Katrina. I knew the limb was dead but I had forgotten about it.

    Oh well...I know where there's a good body shop. :D

    Yep...and it still did $1400 worth of damage to my truck but I'd rather it be the truck instead of the car anytime.
