ROAD TRIP

I just got back from picking up my new old toy . The shipping companies kept changing their prices and cancelling on me so I decided to go and get it myself . They went so far as to charge for a hydraulic tailgate pick-up and then tell me that they would require me to supply a fork lift at both ends of the trip . I called a recently retired friend and asked if he wanted to go to Vermont and get my new old toy . Without hesitation he said yes . We have been friends since high school . 5 days later , we were off on our 6 day 4000 mile trip . We had minimal problems on the trip . We lost the license plate bracket , left tail light and half of the wiring on the trailer somewhere in Wisconsin . We went to the local auto parts dealer the next day and were on the road in less than an hour . We went through New York at night . Was that ever scary . We got directions to a motel that was closed for reconstruction . There was no way that we were going to stay in that neighborhood even if the place was open . It was a great trip with a good friend . Everyone needs to go on a trip like this . It's also a good idea to travel with a retired millionaire . ..................... D.J.
