Today got off to a late start. I guess those Brazilian girls can really
wear a guy out. So I finally roll out of bed to some nice granola and
yogurt, with a piping hot cup of Green Tea. I can't say there isn't
service without a smile.
After a quick visit to the Doctor this morning, Mad Dog and I headed out
to fetch the trailer First we stopped off to try and get a view of the
prize purse. Five Million Dollar Bills. WOW! I don't think I've ever
seen anything like that in my life. I got some photos but haven't been
able to get them out of my camera yet. I may need a cable or something.
We then traveled to the vault where the Pantera is stored. She fired up
beautifully. A quick turnaround in the street and then loaded on the
trailer. The new EFI has a very unique sound to it, it kind of growls
and purrs at the same time, and when you get your foot into it, ....
it's just plain mean. :)
While there, I managed to stumble on the secret Pantera Shrine. I don't
think I've seen so many plastic trophies in one spot. It was awe
inspiring, almost bringing a tear to my eye. Anyway, back to the point
at hand.
Some more Pantera prep, video camera mount,tire pressures, extra parts,
tools, gear, etc. Witch Dr. Dick Drenske came over and blessed the
whole affair (I got photos of that too) and we are now ready to go. A
good night sleep and we head out early tomorrow morning. So this will
be my last report until we pull into Ely sometime tomorrow afternoon.
A quick dip in the pool and it's off to bed. (don't touch that Larry...
no, I mean it.... duct tape you fingers if necessary!)
Until Tomorrow,
Asa Jay
