I am checking guibo, having a small exhaust leak welded. Adjusting valves, clean her up. Checking the belt. I just installed a complete new rebuilt head, all new parts, and have that final valve adjustment to do

I'm not as dumb as I look

and convincing lovely (and patient) wife that it's still fun to take long trips in a 2002. Am luring her to Eureka Springs for the town's ambience and to visit an art museum in Bentonville. I get to stop at Ft Donaldson/Ft Henry on the way (Civil War battlefields in TN)

See y'all there presuming no wakeup problems with Ludwig...

I'd like to go this year, but college expen$e$ are upon u$. Also, we're about to buy Mary a new (used E39) DD. I won't be at Vintage due to the wedding of a good friend here in Dayton. RGB events will remain on my schedule, though. Have fun!

Mike, Pea Ridge is 30 minutes west and the largest battlefield west of the Mississippi(pretty sure). Nice driving tour, but they have started charging 10 bucks to drive it.

As far as getting ready, hmm sold my 02, maybe I can go find my other one missing in the wilds of east OK.
