I sported my lederhosen on Sunday, and no one even noticed. I did get a comment from one guy who said that the camcorder around my neck compleated the look.

Bummer, so you got hassled even more since you cut of your

crying out loud.

We head out Thursday at 9:30 am right on time. Mike

and I

are in our buses from Dallas to Alvarado to meet

Bodean and

Luke and family to head out. Two unproven cars in

Lukes ghia

and Mike’s new 23. My bus has made this trip many

times.

This time, it got a new shift coupler and the tranny

fluid

changed before the trip, in addition to the normal
preparations.

Going around the loop and on to I35, hit 4 th gear

GRRRR,

THUD, POP! I’m down. We pull off, and there are

virtually

no flat spots, so I park it and get out. The bus

didn’t

hold in gear and went for a ride with the family in

it.

Luckily, it was a short ride and I had the wheels

pointed to

the curb so it stopped, but the wife’s rapid

heartbeat

continued. I had a good 30 minute ride at 40 mph in 3

rd

back to the house with Mike following to think up plan

B.


Plan B, cram a bus full of crap and the family in the

bug.

Now we have 3 unproven cars on the trip, and I’m

scared to

death because the bug is my cruise around town hot

rod, I

never intended it for long trips. Plus my daily driver

bus

is at home dead, if I kill this one, I’m in trouble.




We baby the rides, cruising at a brisk 55 or so, I’m

in

front, and 5 behind me including Bodeans truck and

Sara’s

mini van. Cruise is going great until well after Hico

in the

sticks somewhere some jackhole in a pick up yelled at

a DPS

officer in front of us. The officer gets behind me, A)

I’m

going up a hill B) I’ve slowed to pass him, he pulls

me

over and says I was impeding traffic and he clocked me

at

50. I explained the cruise, blah, blah, he gives me a
warning. I continue up to where the rest of the guys

pulled

over, and Sara and Lukes mini van took a dump. They

had AAA

and insisted that we continue, they would be back

tomorrow.


We had a brief linkage issue with Mike’s bus, but

made it

before the rain, I ran to Walmart and bought a tent

and we

all set up camp. We had been there a couple of hours,

went

to eat. I guess Bodean ran back to get his wallet and

was

informed we couldn’t camp where we were, no signs,

and

there was nobody to check in with when we got there.

Steve C

worked it out in the morning, we were pretty adamant

about

not moving since we managed to beat the rain and set

up on

dry ground. Moving would mean putting our tents in the

wet

grass. All is good!

Torrential storm on Friday morning and we hunkered

down in

the tent and survived it unscathed. I think we all

slept

thru it. Free nap! Yay!

I left early for the cruise to open the rest rooms at

the

park. Got lost an hour out of the way, but still beat

the

cruise there!

The rest of the weekend is a blur, saw a bunch of

folks,

ran Murray through a brick wall, mud wrestling at the

camp

site, girls kissing, the usual. Had a blast. Any more
information regarding the events is confidential.

We came home on Monday, got pulled over in a school

zone on

the highway that I didn’t see. Had a wonderful

debate

with a super nice officer on why I don’t have to

have an

inspection on my antique registered car. Got a ticket

for

speeding. Awesome.

The bug did fantastic! All our cars made it back home

safe,

now I want to build a road trip bug!
