So last week on a lunch break my genius self decided to plan a drive to my parents outside charlotte NC. was supposed to be 4pm Saturday and surprise 6 am coffee at their doorstep. Well a bad brake light and a broken housing prevented that for a couple hours of getting it apart. Managed to install marks spacers that came this week and do a full brake rebuild (minus e brake). Took 15 out of new York until I hit 81 in PA. Decided since I was so late and spontaneous that I wanted to visitthe blue Ridge parkway again. I first Went down it two years ago with a buddy of mine on a trip to asheville for the bascom Lamar Lunsford festival in Mars hill. Gotta say some of the best people and scenery all around here. Was hoping if anyone isn't busy I can meet n say hi to anyone on the way :friday: (I have all week off to manage to get back) if possible I mean I do have my lift with me just no springs compressors or tools with me to install it. Will take and post more pictures and continue working on my camera cell phone pics. Surprised how they look as is for a galaxy 5. 16mp camera works nicely when my case isn't covered in steel dust lol. Anyone that wants me to swing by I have a wide window to get home so I can visit or if anyone has ideas of trails or scenic places let me know! I'll try and keep updating on my way back up :flex dirty: now to harass the good people of North Carolina with my offensively rusty half torn apart 90mph expedition rig to be :finger:
