Slick 60's

Got home tonight. The fight between my son and my wife began immediately after the 6 hours of listening to bitching about coming home to a tornado warning and 42 deg. Fahrenheit. After the previous day's bitching about having to be home on the first.

Oh, how I wish I had a laugh session in the parking lot scheduled with the "second shift" Slickstock boys.

Oh well.
Home sweet home.

LOL! that works!!

My trip home was very enjoyable and the time passed by way to fast.
I got to travel with the lovely Ms. Ruth Fischer up and back and we did pretty well.
I don't think anyone could have been a better traveling companion.
I know damn well my wife wouldn't have been so cheerful or good natured after being in a closed vehicle for 17 straight hours.
Thanks for a great trip Ruth.
U@ss

Well...arrived home safe and sound on Sunday 9/5...3500 miles, 13 states and the truck ran perfectly...meeting up with 75+ great guys and wives...priceless.

finally got home last nite. Vacation was great and Slick Stock was the perfect way to start a vacation. Great meeting you all.

grump, it was good to meet you as well. the fastest mailbox in kansas city has found it's home in my "man cave" down stairs.
thanks again for all your hard work on that and contributing to the slick stock cause!

this is Lyn- - - - We got back safely home yesterday -Thursday - after a
L-O-N-G trip Mac has gone to work today but I've no doubt he will fill in the details sometime over the weekend.

I had an absolute ball in Altoona ...... thanks heaps Darrell & Robbin for all the hard work you both did organising & running the event

i miss you all.......................... love Lyn x

All you got left to do now is to get the clock runing again

Yes we are home finally!, we left Mesquite Texas at 10.30 am on Monday and went shopping to fill in time before we flew out of DFW, we dropped the car off at about 2.pm and were to fly out at 7.30 pm, a 3.75 hour flight!, well wouldn`t you know it! the dash lights weren't working!!!!. 1.5 hours later! we were on our way again, all be it late!, we get into San Fran at 10.20.pm for our flight home at 11.10 pm F%$#@k, unbeknownst to us!, our baggage is to be forwarded on to our next flight, but we were waiting down at the baggage area waiting and panicking at the same time, then the bags stop coming and our`s aren't there!!!!, off over to the baggage service room and wait to be served. Finally she tells us that our bags are already on the plane and we`d better hurry we might miss the the plane!.
Our travel documents say that we fly out of San Fran from terminal 1, Nope that's a domestic flights only the international terminal is #3!, long story short we missed the flight! , so back to terminal 1 to take this up with American Airlines, some old fart serves us to start with and his is going with the line that we had 50 minutes to change flights and it`s not their fault someone didn't tell us the bag`s would be forwarded on!( their employee) who was distracted talking to another clerk about a missing ticket and didn't tell us the important part!.
Finally the supervisor gave in and booked us into a motel for the night, with tickets to fly to LAX in the morning and new ticket to fly home on Tuesday night at 10.30 pm!, we finally got to bed that night at 1.30 am and were up at 8am freshly showered with our dirty clothes back on and heading for the airport to fly out at noon!, we were not going to miss this little sucker! or the next!, in total we waited 12 hours for flights that day and then backed it up with a 14.5 hour flight home!, I went 11.5hour before I got out of my seat to go to the dunny!.
Oh!, did I mention our bags are still in the US as of Friday night your time!!!! but they have found them!.
I must say the great times we had with both old and new friends at Slickstock more than makes up for the flight home saga!

Oh yeah!, I forgot to mention I`m freezing down here!, only about 74f today!

you could have always thrown your hat in and said "forget it, I'm staying!!!!" and then you could have went and lived with Uncle Skip......

Glad you and Lyn made it home safely Alan...albeit late......

yep SS is officially over now that everyone has made it home, we can put the clock back up. How many days was that again Gerry.

It`s 9:45 am Sunday morning and the Airlines just rang, and said our bags will be delivered just after 11 this morning!, boy! is that a relief!, one bag has my SS4 plaque , a painting of Lenore that Robbin`s daughter did and Lyn`s new cowgirl boots!, OOOWEEE!

I'm glad everything made it back OK. I've sure had some bad Airline experiences, but your's tops em all. You must have had a bunch of bags too for such a long trip.

All the best.
