That's good. He had just started that process when I picked the suburban up to start this journey.
Glad both are working out.

Did you cross paths with him? I was thinking you had grabbed the truck while he was gone.
He was there when I picked it up. Chatted while I loaded it. But I was on a mission, so I did not hang around long.
Lawrence texted me recently, saying he got home around noon and is going to bed.
Glad he made it home safely
Had a nice chat with him tonight. Aside from being tired (27 hours transit time 
), he seemed to be in good spirits. Talking about tweaks here and there that he wants to implement. It's good to see him taking an interest in things again. Might just be seasonal, but it seemed like the winter took a toll on both of us. So glad to be getting back into project season. 
I think this piece is worth passing along:

I have never heard or felt a tire bump, growl, and howl like those did. I let him pass me on the interstate and I could hear those tires howling long before he was even near me.
Glad you have it back.

Forgot about the land cruiser
I can't get past the 1 hour of commercials.
Here's to hoping the next chapter includes driving the hell out of it and taking a ton of pictures like Mosesburb does with his '72
Glad everything worked out for lawrence and the burb.
So on June 9th the truck over heated and after two hours I finally got it dragged the 7 miles back to the hose. Then on June 11th yeller crashed so I was down for a month. Well today O replaced the thermostat and ran it to heat it up. Seems part of the problem is the petcock in the plastic end cap of the Murray Heat Transfer Radiator.
Not even 1,300 miles on it and searching on line not seeing to good of stuff on these plastic radiators! On a bright side they do have a copper one for yeller!
So called O'Reilly's and of course a not in stock item. SLC had ONE so Thursday I'll go get it an put it in. I still need to hook a trailer brake controller up and wiring for lights.......

Couldn't O'reilly's get you one under warranty? I have used several of those and never had a complaint.
