Stopped for gas at Costco $3,84 in Hobart, Indiana yesterday a.m.

As I moved from the gas pumps and into the parking lot, a couple in a minivan literally "chased" me down.

They wanted to know all about the GMC. So I gave them a tour of the Clasco renovated 76 and talked about it for 1/2 hour. They are very interested and wanted to know more.

Told them about GMCnet, Black List, etc and then mentioned a guy named Ken in Hebron knows all about GMcs.

AS it turns out they live in Hebron.

So Ken Burton, expect a call from Bill Robinson. They will be looking for a coach. And probably then for help to keep it operating..

Dan,
Leaving Chicago area today. Had planned to down Mississippi River at least as far as St Louis and maybe Vicksburg. But with the rain coming north from Issac I think we'll head west through Iowa, Nebraska , and Wyoming. Trying to stay dry.

Ok, I might have caught up with you Sunday if you had gone down the river. Hope you miss any bad weather.

Yes, that hurricane weather is suppose to be out of here by Sunday evening. The big day is tomorrow (Saturday). It is not suppose to even make it to NW Indiana or Chicago. Indy and Cincinnati is suppose to get it. They can use the rain.

Rain is mostly gone from Vicksburg region. Staying East of river is a good plan. Southern LA and Southern MS very wet, some areas flooded in LA. Casinos are open.

Hi Tom. That stuff is suppose to turn east over Indy but the farther it goes the weaker it gets. Blaine needs the rain down there in Indy. They need the rain to grow more corn so we can dump it in our fuel tanks.
