I delivered the 39 commander parts car yesterday.

Started out before daylight and just got back at 1030 pm. Would have been here about three hours earlier if I had not gotten lost three or four times. Yikes! First I took 31 instead of 131, then on the way back took 96w instead of 196. OH yeah, also explored the boonies near his farm for an hour or so. Beautiful country.

The poor overloaded truck did yeoman's work with 2000# in the bed and about 5000# in the trailer and car. Got 14.5 mpg going up driving about 67 when condiditons allowed, then got about 15.5 coming back driving about 63 to 77 depending on whether interstate or two lanes.

I had every thing lashed down pretty well but those darned front fenders (3 of them) squirmed around so I had to tighten straps every half hour or so. Even with that when I got there there were two hanging loose.

Yikes!

Didn't lose anything that I know of.
