Friday

Got the car home from Wally's shop at 9 PM last night. Trans gone thru, fixed a couple of things , re installed the trans, heat shield by the exhaust and the slave cylinder, new bearing instead of a bushing on the main shaft to the engine crank, fixed a leak in a heater hose, and now all is ready to go.
I changed oil this morning at 7AM, repacked the trunk (bed) took out the lawn chairs to make our stuff fit. Rodney and I left at 9 AM. Tonight we are in Pierre, SD as planned, just a short 400 miles. An easy day to start with, need to get back in the "roadster mode", my rear is tired tonight.!! The car ran great, we hit a couple of light showers in SD, but nothing bad.
We got a room at the Super 8, next door to a Mexican place, so we had tacos and margaritas to night!! Tasted good.
In the morning we will wash the car and head for the Black Hills, see Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse and stay in Lusk, WY.
A great first day of the 2 week trip.
