Well we left on our jounrey this morning at 0700, about an hour into our jog we ran into heavy fog near Marion, Ohio and it was sloooow. Arrived at Wright Patterson at 1100 and met with Andrew (tops G/L employee in my book) Looked over the new addition to the family and loaded her up. Since I had my son along with me and him having the O.D. fever more than myself we got to take a little tour of the vehicles there. I never seen a few of the trucks in my career at WPAFB.
Andrew had everything ready and all I had to do was sign on the dotted line, now thats service!
Well once on our way, we decided to stop and grab some grub in Springfield (about 25 miles East of Wright Patt.) We pulled into the lot and the next thing I knew, Tim was yelling for me to come to the back of the flat bed (Oh god ! something happened and it's gonna be bad) Here, there were 2 Columbia Gas employees wanting to know if they could buy my new pride and joy, of course I said n-n-n-n-n-o! Then I just had to ask the question....what are you offering if I said yes? Well, I was offered a few more hundred than I paid for her, so I thought for a (split) second and said nah, she's a keeper!
The rest of the journey home was a little boring, and the gps kept taking us towards I-75 and we wanted to get to S.R. 4 and somehow ended up 30 min. West of where we wanted to be.
Once home discovered that I was provided the ol' gal's last maint. record in 2008, and then saw she was only driven about 200 miles since then. Also my son found a jack, 2 j-handles, two complete set of road triangles, a new fuel filter still in the wrapper, horn button, seat belt extender, fire extinguisher bracket, 2-handsets with about an inch of wire, and the big item.......2 brand new black out lights!
All in all a pretty good day and recovery! Friday is when the real work starts, she didn't start so the batts are a chargin' and all the fluids get changed (yes, they were all full except the fuel tank...3/4!
I do have pics, however for some reason I'm having dificulty uploading them
