Story time

Tyler,
My plan was to go to Mesa Verde
I always thought you lived near Albuquerque
When I looked at you avatar it was really close to where I was going
For the rest of you following along,
I pm’d him yesterday or the day before
Leaving my phone #
The crazy part is, I was in areas where there was no cell service today
And I was getting behind on schedule because I need to be in Wichita on Thursday
So, when I came to that turn off
Mesa Verde
Or
Go straight to save 1/2 a day
I went straight

Never even knew you texted me
Then I’m driving down the road and saw
The green truck
What!!!!

Nice to meet you today
I still can’t believe we bumped into each other

Next stop Shattuck, Oklahoma

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
 
It’s funny Eric, there was a set of unusual circumstances that led to that chance meeting. My wife and I both got home late from work and didn’t feel like cooking; dominoes night it was. Next, I don’t normally drive the 72 much during the week but for some reason I decided to take it. Third, I never go to that gas station I was coming out of when I pulled in front of you, I only happened to look down and see I was on E as I was headed past the station and ducked in.

As I was pulling out of the gas station I saw your RV coming and thought “man that looks like it could be Eric, nah... no way” sure enough.... the stars aligned perfectly!
I too enjoyed the few minutes we had to bs. Drive safe my friend, and keep posting up those awesome pictures!

Is there such a thing as the opposite of claustrophobia?

That made me laugh

This is where these threads get fun for me
Looking back at the feedback

I also raced a train today
They basically go 70 mph
And scare the $hit out of anybody
At a RR crossing ( including me)
With their horn blasting

I missed taking a picture of the major pile up (wreck) of about 10 trailers
Or whatever they are called
On the side of the road
Because I was going 75 trying to win
The race:rice:

Hey tigger,
As luck would have it,
I think
I’ll be in northern Indiana
Sunday or Monday
It is possible, we can hook up early next week

(I think, and it is possible) are disclaimers
But it is still a high probability

You didn't get us some pictures of the windmills, seemingly endless windmills? Did you attack them Don Quixote.?

Strange as it may seem, being from California
I restored windmills years ago
And owned these three

It’s kind of bittersweet
I sold the property they were on

Crazy how time flies

This place was established in 1994, around the same time I was playing with them

Here is the monitor L
We dismantled at the Christmas tree lot
Now I know why I was kind of sad today

GOPAPA 05-06-2021 07:51 AM

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
 
I can relate to you being sad about getting rid of the windmill .. I took a radiator fan blade from a D-6 cat and riveted on license plates on the fins of all the states that my family was born in .. when I sold I left it there .. like you ,Eric ,,I now wish I had kept it to restore and put up again..

Them are some really nice looking BIG windmills you built back to new.. nice job

That would be great! I’ve met special K (Tim) and it would be a privilege to meet the legendary Chevyland. Thanks for the pics and comments- always good to follow along

“Well, that’s 83 South. And this road here will hook you up with I-40 East. Um…if you turn right, that’ll take you to Amarillo, Flagstaff, California. And if you head back that direction, you’ll find a whole lot of nothin’ all the way to Canada.”

He also designed a house a few miles away
Nearly 50 years earlier in 1915

I went on the moonlight tour,
A beautiful home, that was before it’s time

Cool FLLW stuff! How did you get interested in his work? The building at the University does not seem to be in use, I wonder what it is meant to be used for.
