Well guy's, here I am in (B.F.) Clarksville IN.Unhappy On our way to Bowling Green my spindle broke. After MANY phone calls, & finding out the parts is discontinued by G.M. ,I found a used spindle and a place that will install it by 2:00 tomarrow. So if all goes right I will be there to meet you guy's for dinner Fri. night. I will miss the plant tour in the morning, so don't look for me. I tell you what though. I will never figure out how we made it without the wheel falling off. We easily could have crashed and burned. Cry
 
Still looking forward to meeting with you guy's. Also thank's a bunch Brian (redwing) for being ther for us. BUT, NO.......YOU CAN'T TAKE MY WIFE WITH YOU !! LOLTERRY

Hey Terry,

Since your down an out for a while try an make the best of it. You are really close to a good seafood place on the river called the Kingfish. Might as well take your wife there to eat if you can. Sorry to here about your plight. Good news is though that you will be able to get it fixed and move on.

I would trade you spots in a NY minute vs. going to a wedding on Saturday. (I can say that since my wife isn't close )

Have fun an make the Black Sheep Squadren Proud!     Tuxblacray2006-10-12 18:09:48

Well I made it back home without any car issues. However, A guy did hit the center cement all right in front of me as I was heading north on I-75 through Ky, He pulled off the road and looked to be ok.
Hope everyone else had as nice of a time as I did.

Terry,
Good to see you got home without anymore problems.
I got home around 11 PM last night without any mishaps. Long day, long drive, but well worth it.
