Better lay in an extra stock of whiskey if Mel is heading your way.

Was thinking "Great, I'll be down near Dixon, TN @ that time". Then I got to thinking, they never said a state. And isn't Dixon, TN spelled Dickson. So I started checking and found "Singing Land Cruiser" is from around MI not TN. Oh well, maybe next time.

[Melbo]

Don't head to Dixon MI that would be Michigan and you still would not find them --- Dixon MO near The Lake Of The Ozarks -- Lots of fun stuff to do in the area including the state capitol at Jefferson City MO and Mark Twain History by Hannibal MO.

Check it out

Gah..  we're currently in St. Louis, but just decided that we'll likely head northward to Madison, WI this week.. then perhaps onwards to the Oshkosh air show that weekend. 

Have a blast!

The first step for a "Bus Convoy" heading out to a "Bus Rally" is fresh oil in Engine Genset and Transmission -- Fresh Filters --- Adjust the Brakes and Lube it up --- So I rolled it up on some Railroad Ties and gathered up 17 Gallons of oil -- One Week from today the convoy rolls out ( well OK it's really only one bus BUT it's hard to mess up a one bus convoy ) AND here's a picture

In the immortal words of Jerry Reed......'East-bound and down!'

Enjoy your trip; we are envious!!!!

Best regards.

Well I got the oil changed in the trans engine and genny  

Got the bus all greased up and the brakes adjusted  

Checked the air in all the tires  

Came home took a shower and put my clothes in the washing machine  

Today I'm disassembling the washing machine and cleaning it out while packing for the trip --- note to self greasy shop wipes don't go in the washing machine  

If I don't have any MAJOR blunders between now and Tuesday the convoy (of one) will roll out of Albuquerque Tuesday pm headed to Tucumcari  and on to the bus rally in Dixon

[Van]

have a blast and be safe. Give em both a squeeze for us when ya'll get there

[Melbo]

Van we will be sure to do that

The "Convoy" is at rest in Tucumcari and will be in Chandler OK by tomorrow night --- we did not get Burt Reynolds to run his black firebird or Kris Kristofferson to run in front with the "rubber ducky" as we are traveling at a comfortable 60 MPH with the L10 turning about 1800 and the temps are just under 180 and the pyro at about 700 -- the only hickup was the fridge was not in the mood to be "cool" but finally decided to play nice --- we are planning the seminar for the guys and workshop for the ladies at the "Bus Rally" --- we will keep you posted as practical as we are NEW to flash rallies --- this is our first one
