FWIW, I was hired back in the 70's to pull the Miami Herald float with my old K 5 Blazer in the Orange Bowl Parade. I kept it in 4WD low range on the streets of Miami for the entire parade with no ill effect. I know you are not supposed to be able to do this, but it seemed to work OK.

I think she'll be OK, but am still worried

Goodness gracious! Prayers and well wishes are most certainly on the way!

Gosh Sam, I was wondering where you were but I had hoped you were just off doing something fun!

Prayers for Jeanne, it sounds like it's been awful and I hope she's soon better!

Tell Jeanne I hope she's back to rights soon. And let me know if you need anything at all! I'm great at running errands. :-D

Well, I'm off to buy a tire. :-/

Might as well get the brakes done while I'm there. ~sigh~

Sam,

You and Jeanne are in my prayers.

If I'm reading this right, you're still in Virginia. I'm FReepmailing you my phone numbers again. Don't hesitate to call if there is anything I can do.

Corin

Oh dear, Sam! What a hard thing to have happen, especially this time of year!

I'll be praying for her, Sam - please give her our best wishes!

Awww! You guys make a cute couple! ;-)

My Dad brews, too. I think he's kinda cute in his own way...but I *might* be biased.

Is he using a kit to start out with?

It probably worked OK because it was mostly straight and you're goin' slow. I just don't think you want to do that all the time :~D
