Nice meeting both Reel and Bradford.
BTW, I failed to turn right at Columbia, SC on my way back. Went straight onto 126 and into Columbia. Glad I did. I got to see the Saluda and Broad Rivers (I think) large boulders and rapids which is a rare sight for this Florida boy. I don't get around much.:beer:
My next call is to Texaco:fight:

Sorry the problem got worse...were you able to stop leavin' Sptbg and add some fuel additive?...I was concerned about you gettin on the road, but you seemed confident...so where are truck and V?...:head:

The long version.

Reel, your old girl is safe in Jacksonville, don't worry.
I must say, that was quite a trip.
I stopped at Advance and bought a fuel filter and Lucas fuel treatment. I made it to Orangeburg where I filled up with fresh fuel. I saw Bradford in Savannah and we found a NAPA where I changed the filter again. I thought I was out of the woods. Made it to the Fl/Ga line and all hell broke loose. Fogged up I-95 all six lanes. Got to meet two very nice FHP officers and about six very nice fire fighters. No fire just looked that way from the plume. Got AAA to haul it off the Interstate to Yulee, FL. I caught a ride from my friend Bruce who picked up the boat and hauled it to his house in Jacksonville. He is working in Tampa, (temporarily) so he brought me back to Lakeland after a brief detour to Bass Pro Shops in Orlando. He really saved my bacon.

Once agin, It was very nice to meet you and your neighbor as well as Bradford. You guys are top shelf in my book. :beer:

Man that is too cool! Not referring to the fuel problems RR had - that was NOT cool at all. I'm just glad the Reelapeelin numero uno is staying in the family! Congrats to Reel for not havin to woop out the chainsaw and RR for getting a new restore candidate! :sun:
