Headed to Ponchatoula from Effie tomorrow (01-06-10) to Timntrucks to (finally) pick up my M353. Gonna bring my boy as he is out of school. Planning on a 0700ish start, easy ride down Highway 1 and over to Tims. Will post pics.

Finally got the temperature issue settled, new batteries, fresh anti-freeze, fresh oil change and topped off the truck with high quality go-go juice.

BTW, let me publicly say here a BIG thank you to Tim for holding my trailer this long! It has been at his place since early June last year.

I have the boy some drinks, snacks, earmuffs and Ipod loaded, so he should be ok.....

Wish us luck!

Shucks, I wish I'd known it needed to get to you. I went to Pineville on 1/5 to preview some trailers. Could have dropped it off at your place on the way.

TB, thanks for the offer, but I've been looking for a reason to take a deuce road trip anyhow!

Tim, again, it's always a pleasure and thank you again!

Funny story, coming home, I got flagged into the weigh station on I-12. As I pulled onto the scales. the trooper looked out the window with a look of disbelief on his face, smiled and waved me on.....


Here are some pics.....

EDIT: Sorry for the sideways and upside down. I apparently don't know how to take pics on an Iphone....

Ken, OH, it was a Deuce trip excuse, never mind! Glad you made it back safe. It was a great day for a road trip.

Tim, when I told my wife I bought another trailer, she just :roll: smiled and shook her head. At least she smiled.
