            Harry, If I can get the time off I might hook up with you and make the ride together. Looks like a straight shot south from Wichita.

            Maybe a plan can come together.

            I just looked and it is only 19 miles farther than Talihina was for me. I am in fo sho.

              Ivan, sounds good. I was planning on taking that route even though it is all freeway and more boring, it is by far the quickest route. It will probably still take around 10 hours with stops, from here anyway. I would love the company.

                  I still have a little work to do, need to sand and polish and install new windshield, but the major damage has been repaired. It already looks better than it did before the incident.

                          this sounds like fun and the beast should be complete and roaring by then. Are Houstonians invited?

                            I think the question might be... Can Russ laugh about it yet?
                            Others haven't stopped laughing...
                            (I'm not one of those... I'd never laugh at other peoples' expense)

                            Maybe they should add this to their testing?

                            Absolutely! We have a few coming up from that direction (at the time I'm posting this, anyway)... Maybe we can get you hooked up for the ride... looking forward to seeing how the beast turns out... From the pics I saw, it looks like you got a pretty decent start...
