I’ve Been Runnin’ Against The Wind

Today was amazing!

Slept for a couple of hours. Drove nearly 500 miles while tired. Did stuff with people.

Watched Batman for a bit.

But hey! Project Redwood made it back to Detroit! Hooray!

Way Down Yonder

Those crazy kids made it!
It looked like they might be doomed when they had some cooling system issues earlier today but they got it sorted and carried on.

Take It On The Run

Today was insanity.

We were literally double booked for lunch. There was lunch at one place at 1 and at another place at 2:30.

Back to the first place about 6:30 for dinner.

Otherwise, yeah. Driving around, dealing with a nutjob child due to lack of sleep, and following Project Redwood's progress on Jalopnik/Twitter.

Been Driving All Night, My Hands Wet On The Wheel

I’ve been following David Tracy’s Project Redood over on Jalopnik and Twitter recently.  Basically the project is this: David Tracy is an engineer who formerly worked at Chrysler on a Jeep project then quit to be a writer on Jalopnik.  He has a fascination obsession with buying rusty old Jeeps and fixing them up.  He has something like seven as of this writing.

Anyway, Project Redwood is a Jeep Grand Wagoneer he picked up for $800 that hasn’t run/been driven for over 12 years. The goal is to get it running and drive it from the Detroit area to Moab, Utah for the Easter Jeep Safari.

He has been procrastinating. A lot. He needs to get this thing on the road. Yesterday. Literally.
