[Mavericke]

Gotcha.

[rollguy]

I probably will have to meet you on the road on thursday....leaving out early tuesday morning but I will load wednesday night at normal IL headed to Baltimore. I will be coming across I-74, I'm assuming you will leave n.salem and take I-70 through columbus and to Indy then I-74 out to Galesburg.

Change of plans. After I visit IE, I am free.  I will not be visiting my relatives.  I can be in Ohio sometime on Tuesday.

See you tomorrow.  Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, Mav is thinking about coming over later in the week to pick up that big AMC sign.  Maybe he can use some extra muscle as my lifting, hauling days are pretty much over.

Day 4 continued (again):
I left Brandon's a little after 6:00 and crossed over into Iowa:

Iowa is a very beautiful state along the highway.  There is a lot of corn growing.  All I see is "corn, corn, corn" (can anyone tell me what movie that line is from?):


I will meet Doug (Iowa Eagle) in the morning, and then head out to meet Sean (sleepsundercars).
I may have to find a radiator shop on the road that can fix the small leak.   I am just adding coolant for now, and I hope it does not get worse.  I have the banner for the meet, as Brandon will not be able to make it this year.....Rich

[IowaEagle]

Corn, corn, corn and Beans, beans beans.

OK, What movie?    and I will add, what actor?

[IowaEagle]

Would the actor be Clint Eastwood?

Rich, it was great to meet you.  Thank you for joining us today.  Glad we noticed that leak and topped you off before you left.  Thank you for your help with the license plate light and the mounting bracket.  I'll head over to Kenny's and use the drill press and bench grinder and finish it up. 

I wish I could hire you (and a few others on here for a week or so).  I know I would learn a lot.

You are very welcome.  I really enjoy fabricating and making things work.  BTW, thanks for the coolant.

  I really enjoy fabricating and making things work. 

I have a special surprise (I fab'd for the Eagle) for those that will be at the meet.  Brandon has seen it, and I am sure everyone will want one.   What I am saying, is EVERYONE needs to come to the meet!

I want one.  Just let me know how much. 
You're welcome for the collant.  Glad I had it in the garage.  That was really low.

Here are some photos from Rich's visit today...

Here's a shot of Rich fabricating...


Here are some pictures of Rich and my 83 Eagles.  These eagles are identical in options and
color.  My wife took a picture of them on her phone and texted it to friends with the caption "Lord Help me."  That made me laugh. 

They're twins...






Rich, I owe you one.  Thank you for stopping by.  I learned a lot.

i would love to be there but, i am all tapped out for the rest of the year on cash

I want to report that I have gotten an average of 22.3 MPG up to the last tank.  I filled it with "Super" (cheaper than regular unleaded= contains ethanol), and only got 20.08 MPG.   I think I will not use this again, probably not worth the 10 cents less per gallon.  Besides, the car idles at about 1,000 RPM (no changes to the carb adjustment)
