Crazy Day!!

Ok, so it's going to be a CRAZY day for us! Pray that it all goes smoothly!

I've been keeping 2 of our horses at a friend's house since Nov. as one fo them had surgery. Jay's been working frantically to get our barn set up so we can bring them inside at night; otherwise they just had a shelter. I'm supposed to bring them home today.

SO, I'm going to feed the horses, but will not clean stalls since they're coming home; run to Tractor Supply for bedding and a new water tank for the horses; hook up the horse trailer and retrieve the beasts; hopefully the AS tire is delivered during that time, and we'll drive up to get the AS; tow her home and "tuck her in" to her new parking place; then take off with my daughter for a 2.5 hour drive to look at a show pony for her. I'm already tired and we haven't even started!

But as long as we get the AS home today safe and sound, we're calling it a good day!!!

Two weeks ago today I brought home a 1957 Overlander. The snow would have been to much for my truck. I was real lucky that there were some great people helping with getting it to the road for me. A snow blower sure helps!!

Wally had one on the front of his International Harvester! You could put one on your back bumper just to watch everybody have a heart attack over rear end separation.

Here's my '59 GS150 - only off by a year!

Considering what it is... yes. If it had been something not as rare, still an AWFULLY good bargain...
