Duke-

First, good luck! About the pictures, I think the easy way is to set up a free account at a photo hosting site, such as photobucket.com. You can load your pictures to that site, then when you write a note here you just click the picture icon and paste in the link to the photo.

What a day!!!

Drove about 230 mile round trip to Vidalia, LA from Jackson, MS. First stop was a state attraction near Port Gibson, the Windsor Ruins, for some pictures and a nature call. Perfect weather and a trouble free ride....well almost.

A friend from work and I rode down with perfect weather and met some new friends.

This is me with a really nice TR6....Wow

 

[Royal_58]

After the fest we stopped by a tavern across the Big Muddy to watch the last 2 minutes of the Ol' Miss vs. Florida game.....31 / 30 Go Rebs!

This is my Co- pilot with, well lets sa...

"Chicks Dig Triumphs"!!!

That made his week!

 

[Royal_58]

Made it home in one piece with just a loose fan belt taken care of in Vidalia. Speedometer didn't work so we used a stop watch to time ourselves to make sure we were not speeding on the Natchez Trace Parkway, where the Rangers are more than happy to assist you with relief of your wallet. About 2600 to 2800rpm was giving us close to 50mph and we averaged 30mpg!

Messed up hair and a bit os sun on the face all equal a great day!

Thanks for the encouragement and positive energy that i'm sure got the Ol' girl through her first trip!

The big hit of the show was the gas powered margareta mixer. I made some movies of the process. A little help with posting a movie and I can share it with you. I'll work of the photobucket to try to make that work.

Here Goes some video of a real industrial mixer.

Great to hear you had such a good trip. The TR will probably only get better with use. :laugh:

 

[AltaKnight]

Great trip Duke; always exciting when you drive out of tow truck distance.
The only advice I can offer is to let the copilot do the picture takin' next time yer around the chicks!
