Yeah, I'm "thinking" about it- but haven't made any plans.

Default Now here's a funny thing......

Saw this posing by Jeff and curiosity got to me. "How far does he have to drive", I think to myself???

Remember that I'm here in Australia.

So I clicked onto Google Maps and asked for Directions. I typed in my starting point as "Dayton OH" but I only typed "Kentucky" as my destination. You would imagine that the Google thing would sort of work out I'm talking the USA here...

Not so. It calculated the distance as:
Driving directions to Kentucky NSW
15,564 mi – about 55 days 17 hours


Tells me how to get to Washington on the pacific ocean then tells me to KAYAK to Japan via Hawaii then KAYAK to Australia. 10,500 MILES by KAYAK

I think I'll pass on your offer Jeff

I'm also thinking about it but it depends on how business does.

Jack we could hook up on 79 south if your coming down that way...

I thought it would be nice to have a small showing of B bodies and get to shoot the breeze for awhile...... I never been on the Power tour..

I've also always wanted to go the Moon Christmas Party and the Pontiac Heaven show..

Ian, I'll make a few videos if I go. That's a little too far for you brother....

Mike, I take it it's tight on your end too.. I've never been more busy and more broke at the same time in my life!!

Tight, Yes, Busy, No. In this area the fuel prices last yr broke the average guy and the election results and economic crash put the brakes on corporate spending. I maintain a fleet for an electrical contractor here and they're dead also. That's unheard of for them.

The only guys I know who are busy here are Roofers and those who extend credit thru their business. The latter won't be in business long and the former thank God for the 90 mph winds we had earlier this yr.
