.....not without its drama.

1440 miles round trip from Fort Leavenworth, KS to Round Rock, TX and back.

Got through charging issues on the way down.  On the way back, 100% sure my
instrument voltage stabilizer lost its smoke so I had high reading fuel and
temp gauges.  I have also developed a loud growl at ~50 mph, I believe it is
a rear bearing or two.  Finally (I hope), blew out one of the mufflers.

WHAT FUN!

Waiting on a voltage regulator to arrive in Lawrence, KS.  Lots of rain.

Somewhere on the way down to TX.  Temp was not that high  - experienced an
overcharge/volt condition from the new (crap) voltage regulator.

Yesterday at Andy Walker shop.  Dropped in for an hour to cool off and see
his great cars.  Thanks Andy!

I am looking forward to the Trip to Suni next month.  I have work to do
(again) before that though.
