I am trying to get an XJ down his way.  Will be a great donor vehicle for projects.

[Mavericke]

Well since my axles are going to Meping... I should probably be on the lookout for some others.

I'd like to find something tough anout to hanlde my 360 and haul loaded flatbed trailor....

Well If you want to have an Eagle meet at Cordova next year I may be able to help as I'm National Vice-president of NAMDRA. I do have some influence. There is camping on the track grounds for the AMC Nationals plus a KOA type camp ground a couple miles down IL Route 84. I can help makes some arrangement depending on what you may need. I'll warn you ahead time that we  are now starting on filling up the 3rd hotel In LeClair , Iowa and there are only 3 there, where the host hotels are.

Note to : Mavericke I use to live in Brimfield, IL about half way between Galeasburg and Peoria .  Any thing happening with the CAT museum? I drove by on the Sunday after the AMC Nats this year and all I saw was a big hole in the old "SEARS" block where the CAT museum was/is  suppose to be. I moved out west to Nevada about 5 years now , in retirement, to get away from snow and now oddly enough I have an 83 Eagle station Wagon Limited I've been rehabbing for a daily driver. Larry R.

@mramc, I am sure Mavericke and J2Jax will welcome your assistance and expertise.

I would like to see the Cat museum, too, providing we're talking Caterpillar here.

Yes, very much so. Impressive credentials my friend. Sorry to be short... I do wish I had more time on here, but rest assured I will be in touch. Minor health issues here... I've been pretty much usueless since RegalWizard/Meping/Merciless-oh whatever - the BRAT... I've been up all night tossing and turning... then once I do finally crash, I don't wake up. Thyroid levels are good... blood psi is has raised concern - took me two years to fix it last time.... and now they're thinking sleep apnia, which explains my still being exhausted even after waking up. My father passed away from that (and other complications) in 2008. I feel like I never truely sleep... ye I'm never truely awake. It's very strange and has only started up again the past few weeks... no motivation to do anything. Poor Kay, is stuck here and I can't drag myself out of bed to help before I have to go to work.

Good news is... saw the doc today... some new meds, already felling better takes time to kick in as you can tell I'm typing this at 5:18am. I'm sure I'll be sound asleep by 6am and the girls will be up by 7am and it will make for a long day at work tomorrow.

No matter what though... kay's car will be on the road and jason's valve cover will be replaced by mid-day Sunday and then I'm starting on the Jeep..... again.
