  • Summer Update – Arcata, CA

    Well, our West Coast Tour has been shaken up a bit. After receiving news of a family emergency, Edna and I cruised on up to Arcata to be with family. This means that we probably wont be making it to the Bay Area/Sonoma/Mendocino this time around (sorry folks! It makes us sad too.). But hey,…

  • Transmission Mission – Mooresville, NC (NASCAR Country)

I noticed some build up in the radiator when I emptied it when replacing the water pump. New radiator in Fortuna: $550 plus…
