As some of you may know by now Ada and I recently got married. She scheduled the wedding and honeymoon around the Dixielander rally in Bean Station, TN with 120 of our closest friends and the Sunshine Statesmen rally in Grassy Key, FL with another 60 of our other closest friends. It was really great and even "Bubba JimK"(our newest Dixielander) showed, but without his GMC. Does JimK really have a GMC? I've never seen it. Anyway, the trip legs form Orlando to Bean Station and then down to the Florida Keys went without a hitch. ANNIE ran great and really did her thing. ....but I queered the deal. Mr. Murphy must of been listening Saturday nite when I mentioned how good the coach ran. Monday around lunch time the bottom cap to the power steering box cracked. JimB and Jeff Sirum told me they had never heard of that ever happening. That doesn't fix the crack and you don't have many options in the Keys. Thank the GMC Gods for Alex and Tony who decided to stay over after the rally. Alex found a "defective" box from a Chevy pickup at NAPA. The manager sold it to us for his core price and the cap was in within 30 minutes. As it was there were two other GMCs that needed work, but we all convoyed out of the Keys together the next morning. Ada and I (and ANNIE) are now home safe and sound with some great memories, and I have a lot of grass to mow this mornning.
