How's your new truck doing, Dean? Are you happy with it  and is it doing what you wanted? I'm still pricing and looking. We don't have much to choose from around here so am looking elsewhere. I'm finding that Texas has the biggest selection and lower prices and may go there. Have decided to wait until after the 1st of the year since it would just be sitting in the driveway until Spring.
 I'm still going to take that long trip next Spring. Told Jean I'm going with or without her. Do they race at Chico in the Spring? I'm planning on going to Pittsburg, Calif. to see my best friend from high school. Haven't seen him since 1962. Then up to Redding Calif. to visit a brother-in-law so will go right thru Chico. Then down to Riverside to see another brother-in-law and to Perris Raceway for the non-wings. Then to Tucson for more racing, then to Sante Fe for good Mexican food and the good looking Spanish gals. Strike that last remark.
 Any ways, give us a report on your truck.

 Just checked on Chico and had forgotten about the Mini Gold Cup. There looks to be racing every weekend starting in March. I should be able to catch a race there.

Hey, sorry to take so long t get back to you.  Relatives in town for four days, exhausting.  We had a big dinner and wine tasting Saturday night and drank a lot of great red wine.
Great White is doing great (man truck) and I really enjoy driving it.   Getting 17.5 average and that is going up and down the canyon to the Columbia river and then to Wenatchee.  The torgue is real fun to  play with as with a five speed auto he chits and gets, know what I mean.  I will prolly park mine for the winter in my daughters garage to keep it nice & toasty.
It would be great to see you come out this way for some racin in 10'.  Chico is tied for my favorite with Skagit as you know that I am a bull ring fan.  I believe that  The Mini Gold Cup kicks off the racing in N. Californie
Hopefully you can put us on your list of places to visit and spend a few days with us, that would be great.  Keep me posted..

PS.  See where the VA just came out with a new addition to Agent Orange diagnosis this month,  heart disease.  I have been on the registgry for years but nowwith the PTSD thing and all???   Since I had a heart attack three years ago I guess I qualify...

That's pretty good mileage . I'm going to wait until the first of the year. If I don't, it'll just sit in the driveway covered with snow. We've got 4 vehicles here now since the daughter and granddaughter moved back in with us. Can only get 2 cars in the garage.
 Glad to hear you're happy with yours.
