    Yesterdays Trip had two Missions in Mind, Show'n'Shine and a Trike Purchase

    Mattdragontamer(.Org), (he's the guy helping to prep the machines in my garage) and I drove 450 kms to attend a show near Saskatoon which was supposed to have a 40% chance of showers. The one pic shows how far the machines got from the trailer; it was pouring rain so hard we didn't even unload! The second part of the trip was to look at a green Taurus. Turned out to be about 98% complete so Matt bought it. I won't get into any details about it since I believe Matt will showcase it when he's ready. I did snap some pics while he was doing paperwork

    Thanks John. I'm told they made red ones too, just never seen one. Funny how you don't hear about or see one for awhile then boom, they're everywhere. This one is cleaning up nicely; I think Matt may post over on .org with the details.
