    worked today in New Mexico, took off after work and just "moteled up" at Enid Oklahoma. We will take the slow and scenic route to Joplin tomorrow morning and be in sometime mid-day. We left the cars home, so just a spectator this trip. See some of you tomorrow and looking forward to watching the drags at MO-KAN tomorrow evening; over 30 years since I last ran there...

    Good night all, Farmall and family

    We started the trip home on Wednesday and stayed in Oklahoma City. We stayed in Santa Rosa MN last night. Tammy's car ate another collector gasket, hafta stop dragging the exhaust........stupid low cars. We stoped over at Chris and Marcys and my brothers for visits. The black hole is inpressive, I think I need to find a new hobby. Before we left my brothers house my nephew sank his jeep in the pond :biglaugh:it was parked in the front of the house. It rolled around and hit the propane tank then rolled in the pond............funny crap.

    We stoped at the worlds larges cross yesterday very cool
