    I might change my vote. Blackie only if you get rid of the steel wheels. Swap the drives with Casper, buy 2 new ones for the steers. Casper will sell just fine with steel drives. I may settle for nice SS wheel covers. But that’s as low as I’ll go. Got to have some sort of Standards. It’s a matter of Principle.

    The OM has awakened ( mostly cause I made dinner ).

    We will be leaving in Casper. We may switch out to Blackie when we come back through. There's only so many hours in a day, and no time right now to move everything. Not to mention I need to put Blackie's permit book together.

    When I took him out for a week or so, almost all the permits are the same, so I just put the registration for Blackie in Casper's book.

    I’d have to drive one but I saw a stretched Coronado once when I was driving that would have made me get out of bed in the morning with a smile on my face. .

    Guy on here years back bought a brand new cornado glider he had pretty good luck with.

    You see the prices their asking for Pete Gliders?

    Just Stupid.

    I say Dave sends fltookibound to School and puts him in Casper with the agreement that if he breaks it 50 lashings at a Pilot or Loves to be determined.

    We can sell tickets.

    It’ll be like the good old days. Barbecue and beers on the backlots on flatbeds.

    We will have Tibbitt pick him up and strap him down on a 500 mile run through Montana to harden him a bit before the Lashings begin.

    I’m betting FltoOkie is game at this point. Anything to get out of Florida heat right now.

    I was sitting in my garden yesterday afternoon thinking how nice it felt outside for mid-Aug in the panhandle. It was a rather rare lower humidity day.
