I left about 9 AM to try and get ahead of the storms. Going North it was not bad at all, just a few showers North of Effingham. I went as far as Pontiac, IL Sunday. (about half way for me) Had a get-together at the family farm. Too wet to do any farming, so drove home on Monday.
Car ran great, never missed a beat, no problems (except for the plastic ties holding the fan shroud back)
Minor road side repair.

I really enjoyed seeing old friends and meeting new ones. This was truly an outstanding weekend.
Chuck, that 64 looks great.

I really enjoyed the time spent with you and Cheryl.
I will post more later, have to get ready for a golf outing with a bunch of old Veteran pals.

Dean,
The feeling was mutual. Hope we can do this again soon.

After lots of goodbyes we pulled out of Days Inn on our own heading for Plymouth, IN to stop off and visit relatives, hitting rain several times along the way and having to sit out a severe storm there before leaving for an overnight stop in Mansfield OH. Caught up to the storm we sat out in Plymouth and drove in it for hours since it was traveling in the same direction we were. Thankfully we pulled into Mansfield about 11:30 pm without rain having passed the storm we travelled in most of the night. Woke to more rain in the morning and drove in it for several more hours....really beginning to hate rain!...rest of the day dry and uneventful until arriving home around 5:00 pm and having a severe thunder storm and tornado warnings! Got the Vette unloaded and in the garage just in time before it hit. Had 2 funnel clouds during the storm but thankfully none seemed to touch down....Tornados kind of rare for eastern PA! Woke to rain again this morning but right now sun is out!! HOPE IT STAYS!!!

No rain ! Beautiful drive through Indiana & Kentucky on 64 to 75 through Louisville & Lexington through the Cumberland Gap into Tenn to 40 through the Appalachian gap between Knoxville & Asheville NC and then down the escarpment to G'ville. Took 10.5 hours to get to F'ingham via 40 thru Nashville and the speed run home was 9 hours (avg 75 mph - much better route and all Interstate after 45 from F'ingham). Picked up a CanAm trike on the way home and he ran with me for about 400 miles. Roads were clear of radar and V1 picked up the only one out there. Fabulous ride home.
[QUOTE=DStoffel]We made it home about 4:30 without any problems. Brakes are good !!!

Thanks again to everyone that contributed to the brake booster/ master cylinder replacement seminar in the hotel parking lot.

Dave, at least thats one less problem to worry about (you KNOW there'll be more!). Glad to hear everyone got home safe. Our trip was without incident (except for the Fed Ex driver trying to take out Dave Wright) except for our constant friend the rain (all the way out and most of the way back). Arrived at home about 6 PM and spent the rest ofthe night getting everything in order my kids messed up (computer, cable, printer/fax, answering machine, you name it). Then back to work today (BOO!).

Holy cr@p yes! What the heck was that? I thought he was going to get me, then I saw Dave on the shoulder!! Dave, everything good?
Our trip was without incident (except for the Fed Ex driver trying to take out Dave Wright)

I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!
We were behind Dave - good thing I was in the vette & not our truck - I'd a given hima taste of his own stupidity. He had no intentions of stopping - Dave's lucky there was enough room for him to move over - what a d$#%@&*^ !! (use your imagination) - (sorry I have zero tolerance for road idiots - especially those that drive for a living)
Dave was ok - I told him that was quite a bit of fancy driving skills he displayed. Shortly after that his wipers crossed & locked up - fortunately, it wasn't raining bad at that point.
We drove to Columbus with the Barry, Dave & Mark, but then decided to continue on due to the good weather & the car was running well. Made it to Breezewood, PA before we petered out. Got home Tuesday about 1:15 pm. Just in time to mow the swamp. Overall, the trip home went well. Can't wait for next year
