      I had a good time this year as well.

      I wasn't feeling well Sunday morning, so I decided to head home. No one was really up, (I did see Pete and Jim in the morning), so I felt kind of funny just leaving. My apologies for that. If you were supposed to get parts from me, I left instructions with Nick on that end of things. Hopefully things worked out. If not, send me a PM, and we'll see what is what.

      It was great seeing past attendees, and meeting some new folks.

      I never seem to be able to make it home without incident, and this year is no exception. I believe I will be knee deep in a rear diff rebuild in the Ram towards the middle/ end of this week. It was howling and whining on the way home, and was seeming to get progressively worse. I had been noticing a little extra noise over the past month or so, but nothing really bad. Fluid level was fine. Now it has gotten loud.

      I am thinking that in the two times I have replaced the pinion seal, I maybe disturbed the pinion preload. The seal no longer leaks, but its a little late now. So... I am thinking new gears, and all new bearings (probably wheel bearings and seals as well. Maybe a locker, but I don't feel like spending extra big bucks right now. Plus, it goes fine in 4x4 anyways...

      I have never done a Corporate 9.25 before, but my Dad has. And since he has a thing for differentials, I think we'll have a fun little project. In the meantime, I will be driving his '99 P71, because he has gone away with my Mom for a few days.

      But...

      SF11 was fun for me. Wish I had been feeling better on Sunday morning, but thats water under the bridge.

      The fog on I-81 yesterday morning was unreal. Made for a interesting 50 mile jaunt.

        Made it home about midnight last night tripminder is working great averaget 21-22 in PA and reset in flat ohio and averaged about 25mpg. I really thought i liked this car when i bought it but now after taking a 1000+ mile roadtrip in it i like it even more and can happily say it handles better,rides smoother, and is more comfortable than my 95 was.

          No kidding Scott, I hope all is well on both cars now! No worries though, you and Skip were excellent hosts. Please tell him I say thanks, love the place. Sorry I left before saying goodbye.

          Minus problems, it was GREAT! Wonderful meeting you'all. I've already forgotten all your names lol. Learned some, ate some, drank some Tried the, um, scrabble? Heck Sunday morning I dreamed I got a pair of 11" drum brakes for the 85

          Thanks to zoomie for the ride, and many thanks to all, see you next year!

                        His screen name is cheesesteakjim. There are a few shots in my pictures, but he doesn't like pictures only of his car. Don't know why, it's a beautiful car...

                          awesome time. thanks for the help on the car, john. car ran noticeably better the entire time home... but as soon as i got off the highway the freaking tps went crazy again, and even worse this time. i'm about to swear off fuel injection.

                          it was great meeting everyone new, and seeing all you other guys again.

                            Indeed-ely doo it was a good time, even with the rain and a few unfortunate events that kept us from doing more.
                            Usually we do a nice scenic cruise (not recommended if you have questionable brakes or rusty lines, they WILL get exercised...), burnout contests, rides in HO panthers, repair clinics and other fun stuff.
                            Still, people food and beers make for a good weekend alone...!

                            It was great too meet more noobies, hopefully you guys got some inspiration for great things while you were there. It definitely inspired me to do a couple minor things I've been slacking on with my cars... after I install these new scooter parts, lol...
