Well it was a long but mildly successful day. Positive net yardage is the name of the game.
As the truck was getting the new clutch finished up in NH, we all and made our up to Maine to see Jake at Jake's Rod Shop and get Ron's 68 shell ready to pick up later in the day when the truck was ready. Ron had to fly back to Socal this afternoon so after we wrapped up there and had a killer lunch with Jake and his guys at the Gastropub. Caramel glazed bacon donuts were a treat.
We then made our way back to NH to get the truck. On our way we stopped at a gas station I wish we had in California.
And this picture adequately describes the scene once we got back to the truck.
Got the sucker loaded up and after a quick test drive we made our way back to Maine and to Jake's.
Jake was a huge help and let us use his shop and tools to and helped us get the junker Camaro loaded up. Glad Rob is here to wash the windows
Got back to the best damn brewery in Portland and celebrated a little victory. We recommend the gingerbread and bacon
And she's all parked and good to go for the night. The Hampton Inn downtown here only has valet and I told them no way in Hell some 20 year old punk is laying a hand on Betsy. So we parked on the street.
The numbers.... 110 miles today in the truck. We hope to go 485 miles tmrw.
The words.... cars, trucks, good beer, good food.
