Dang! It would of been great to see James, too - it's been too long!!

For me, these things always come out of no where and just when I have the least amount of funds. It turns out the ignition needs replacing, it's ben sticky for a couple of years but never a problem until now. Now when I turn it on it stays in the ignite postion (which leaves it rubbing on the fly wheel which is what caused all the tranny & transfer case noises & hard shifitng) so I physically have to turn it back to the on position.

Fortunatley I can still drive her - carefully. $300 would fix her by Friday, but $300 doesn't grow in trees in my backyard! Raises & bonuses come mid September, but I'm hoping I can get her fixed before then. Maybe an early Ocotber run? We still get good weather then!
