  Slim, methink's that fragrance may be from devouring "excessive" Moose meat over the winter up in Frostbite Falls or wherever in hell you live.   Good luck to Nancy, Yourself and everyone else.  Have a safe Speedweek and I will see you all next year.                     One Run, out.....................

I told you so:



Some things never change:



But some DO change - a bunch. . .  This one was a shocker - 'specially considering the wreckage we saw last October:



Toilets tomorrow, toilets tomorrow - gotta remember the appointment...

That's it.  WE MADE IT!  1,885 miles, 16.0 mpg, three and a quarter days, 38 4/3 hours in the truck.  No tire issues whatever, no interviews with the police.  Not bad, hey?  4/3?

1,885 miles / 38 4/3 hours = 47.92 mph  :-P

Close, Don, but it was 38 3/4 hours.  As for speed - well, I think we might have topped out coasting down a hill in central Montana where we hit the mid 70s -- but with throttle only we stayed in the lower 60s.  Set the cruise control at 63 and get good gas mileage - and have time to hear an extra disc of the talking book.

Speaking of the trip -- here's one of the rewards of getting to Wendover before the event starts.  Plenty of seating at the Salt Flats Cafe --- even for me, wearing a 2013 Salt Talks shirt.

Jon, we will be there Thursday evening.

As for the 4/3 VS the 3/4, I can only go on the info you give out.

I wouldn't want to try and second guess you. 

See you soon, Don

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Thanks for pointing out that typo, Don.  It's all fixed now.  See you Thursday or Friday, okay?

[Texican]

Well! Congratulations on a safe trip.
It wouldn't be a true Mexican restaurant without flies.
  We saw some friends off at the SLC airport 40 years ago, and Marriot Corp was running the food (?) place on the 3rd level; Fly population was second only to skeeters in Alaska.


Enjoy, hope to see ya'll Thurs.
Jim

Sorry to disappoint you, Jim, but the flies were not in the restaurant.
