Power Tour 08
 

To start things off.....a "Old" friend of mine (Corky Fowler) that moved to the Phoenix area years ago called and asked if he could use one of the "Mutts" and go on the Power Tour this year (Of Course)He's driving the 66 Convert with the New engine and a new 700r4.....So he flew in to Milwaukee on Tuesday and spent some time visiting friends he hadn't seen in Twenty Years, and last night we had a Party at the house for the "Old" Street Rod guy's.....Spent the night talking about the "Old" days.........Cleaned up the mess and went to bed.........Got up this morning and left the house at 6:00 am (Corky left later in the day with Gary Lawler and a couple of other friends doing the Long Haul this year)......600 miles to Memphis .......Got in at 4:00 in the Afternoon.......Corky and Gary won't be here till tomorrow, but Charley and Jody will get here a little later today......."And" so it "Starts"........Travel Pic'sfor Today.........LOL
