Actually I was working !

An all expanse paid trip to a medium sized town near the VA border

Two leaky gas stations and an adjacent circuit board manufacturer
That was dumping TCE

The Riley was at one of the leaky former gas stations

It had rack and pinion steering and overhead valves

High tech in 1951


The 40 ford coupes were outstanding !
The 40 sedan behind the mustang was his wife's weekend cruiser

Guy said every vehicle was driveable

Had a slight delay that turned a 9 hr drive into a 12 hr drive

I went to pick up the trailer on Sunday in Columbus and return to Atlanta and drive to the NC/VA border on Monday

Got to Columbus and trailer was inside not one gate but two gates
(I had a key to inside gate )
So wound up spending night and picking up trailer Monday AM
20 miles down the road i blew a tire, and the others didn't look too healthy

I called Columbus Camper Center and asked if they had four spare tires already mounted up in that size
And if I bought 4 would they bring them to mile marker 19?
And , uh, can you bring a jack?

They arrived an hour later with 2 guys and 2 jacks and had me rolling 20 minutes and $823 later .
Called my boss and told him he just bought some expensive tires, cause I didn't have time to mess around with it , since I was already a day late
"No problemo, we're charging em a pile of money for you to go do that pilot test ,
The EPA is flying in 2 people to observe it , North Carolina is sending one guy and JMW is flying in a guy."
