Thursday night..10pm...time to blog again..

 Graham Poulsen sent some pics of parts he has for sale..contact is 0438 087 033...
This  fender is a 33/34 pickup, and is $350..
 one only LH 32 running board, $100
 a pair of 32 Ford running boards, $300
 this 32 Ford RH fender, $325..
 and this 32 RH fender is $375....
 as you know from the last blogs, Les is making his way back to Dale Graus home state of Minnesotta , where they will go to the huge "Back to the 50s" event...but first...gotta get the road trip done...think Dale said at this point in the trip, he had clocked 3200 miles since leaving home a week ago..
 Les tells me they stopped for Gas, conveniently at exit 132....
 then Les tells me, Dale orders his meal..gets ticket #32..the Deuce Gods are with them on this trip...
 but then..like all good road trips..you do the miles and the cars sometimes break..bad coil wire....
 carb and fuel pump rebuild...just get it done and keep on travelling...
 well..another breakdown..I saw this on facebook and phoned Les..he said they were zooing along and just like that, the engine shut down..30 miles out of Des Moine...called AAA
AAA turned up with a hook, instead of a rollback (or tilt-tray for us Aussies)..but it got the roadster pickup into the town..I spoke to Dale and it didn't worry him..probably an ignition gremlin he thought...he posted later on f'book that at 2a.m., he had the 32 fired up again..put in a new module, cap etc., bit of shut eye , and as I type this, it's about 7am USA time, so they must be on their way up Interstate 80........Les tells me that Dales 32 has seat heaters, and they had them turned on going thru Colorada, it was so cold...life without a roof, I guess!!
 Yesterday, some of us took the trip to Coomera to meet up with Dennis Cambells lunch run...
 Good day..good food..good company..think there was about a dozen cars....
talk..talk..talk..we do that well!
Here's you first reminder for the ROd Squads annual Saturday run..mark the info down..
The End....
