Memorial weekend day trip

Had a trailer tire separate on the way down. No biggie except that I had eleven guys waiting on me.

Then plugged up the jeep's radiator stompin in mudholes, and then overheated trying to charge up the last bit of "Peepee's Revenge." Blew the radiator cap right off. Limped it halfway back to the lot til it started to knock, then 'Yota Nick was nice enough to tow me the rest of the way. Thanks again Nick!

Then five miles from home, the burban just quit. Apparently, it was just out of gas. But I had topped it off before the trip, so either this tank returned about 6mpg (vs 9-10 normally) or somebody tapped the tank in DTOR's lot. I dunno...

Still a helluva good day!
