On the road again......KKOA in the Buick

We meet Doris and Jerry Johnson this morning to drive to Salina, KS to the KKOA Leadsled Spetacular.
As we got in and hit the keys, Jerry's car did nothing. We traced the neutral safety wires from the ignition to the switch, no juice, after wiggling the wire on the ignition plug, we got juice to the switch, but still no fire, next I stuck the test prob on the purple wire on the solenoid and hit the key, bingo it fired. At the first rest stop, the same thing, no fire, used the probe and bingo. Its like the solenoid sticks. From there on it has worked fine.
Other than that we had a great leisurely cruise down highway 23 to Sioux Falls, south on I29 to Vermillion, SD for the night. We arrived about 5PM, found a nice place to eat and have a cold beer.
In the morning we continue south and west to Highway 81. That will be a straight shot south to Salina. Today was a mere 300 miles, tomorrow about the same. Its been a good trip so far. It was hot and humid in SD and have severe thunder warnings tonight until 4AM.
