200 hours in the drivers seat....

[Astro]

I just crossed my first 200 hours captaining Astro on her maiden voyage. We have traveled a tad over 9000 miles and are still 2500 miles from home. The trip so far is a bit over 4 months and we are loving every minute. I cant wait to get home and get started on my summer bus project list to get the ship ready for the fall departure. Things have gone quite well and I am very pleased with Astro's performance thus far.

    Great.   Keep us informed on how it goes.  And good luck for the rest of the trip.

Without pics, it's a fairy tale. I'm just sayin'

Not sure what pics will work for a long trip, especially when you have to dumb them down below 192kb's, but we did have some old ugly paint soda blasted off in a church parking lot in Georgia and last week had the 20+year old window tinting replace by D&D Tint in Arlington, TX. I think Astro deserved a facelift after running so good for us.

Tralfaz!

10 points if you know the significance.

Your not getting her back without a fight Mr. Gottrockets!

Hopefully you'll be changing the engine oil for the second time soon. Good Luck, TomC

That was about 1000 miles ago. But thanks for the reminder.

What engine do you have? We all know it can't be a Detroit two cycle. They will blow up long before 9000 miles. Glad you had an enjoyable trip.

Good, old school 8V71, of course.
