Well, made it home from HS a day early and wanted to let everyone know that if you didn't get to go you missed a great time. There was plenty of fun, food, driving, comradary, and of course fixing the breakdowns...lol. I was one of them and want to say thanks to the 2 or 3 that helped bleed my brakes and the 15 who watched. Anyway, make plans now for next year so you don't miss out again.

[QUOTE=2tonevette1981]. I was one of them and want to say thanks to the 2 or 3 that helped bleed my brakes and the 15 who watched. [/QUOTE] I kind of thought that it goes quicker if more like 20 people were watchings..........more inspiration...........I'm glad things worked out for you, and everyone else.

[/QUOTE] Kinda sounds like when Karen's car over heated on the way to Carson City.  Boy we had a lotta hands in that engine compartment, even more sets of eyes.  It's amazing how many people can come up with an a half empty bottle of water when a cars overheating LOL
 
Glad you had fun in HS Thumbs%20Up

Glad you made it home safely Ed...We were concerned. I was one of the 15 or so who watched. That pressure bleeder is really slick. I gotta build me on of those....No....I'll borrow Norsky's.

Hey Ed, good to hear you made it safely home.  Thats a long down hill roll from HS all the way down into Texas .... good thing Texas flattens out so you had time to coast to a safe stop.  Don't see too many 2 toners, keep the repairs commin.
