  I just got home from putting a little over 800 miles on Murray. All driven, 
no trailer. The only trouble was a broken fan belt on the return trip outside 
of Monett, MO. I was lucky to see my oil temp going up to 220 after smelling 
something burning. And the little light on the speedometer was on. I had a 
replacement in my tool drawer, so the whole problem only cost me about 30 
minutes. I was worried during most of the trip because of a rhythmic grinding 
noise that I figured was a bearing, or something horrible, dangerous and 
expensive until I reached under the dash and wiggled the speedo cable. Fixed. 
Oh, and I scraped my steering box for the first time in a long time and tore up 
my horn wire.

  Last year I trailered Murray up because he was in repair from the tree 
incident, and I was surprised at how many people came up and were amazed that 
he ever recovered and was running so well. They thought that I was delusional 
about really getting him back on the road.

  It rained, off and on, most of the trip and I used clear packing tape on the 
safaris and stayed nice and dry.

  I'm kinda tired now.
