Hey jpet, need a ride?  I'm sorry for your misfortune, but greatly relieved that no one was physically hurt.  That was a serious hit.  And then to have BamBam's axle break really sucks.

BTW, I know a retired guy with no commitments for the next couple weeks.  Happens to have a diesel Ford that tows well.  If I can help, give me a call and let's talk.

Dang, Jeff...

Glad everyone is ok. Looks like it could have been much worse. Let me know if I can help in any way.

Yep. Those are teasers alright. I'm already needing to see some vids

Is it just me or does Stan look a little puckered going up hells gate? I never seen Stan puckered before even when he should have been    That must be one tough hill.

No pucker there. My hand is just blocking the grin on my face.

Jeff,
  Man, you must have really popped her! I'm glad you're all right, and her too.  BW
It is NOT a Jeep Willys! It is a Willys jeep.

Happy Trails! Good-bye, Good Luck, and May the Good Lord Take a Likin' to You!

jeff,

If you can't work out a deal on a truck, why not set up a relay. I can tow you home from central kansas.
