Changes in lattitude

Friday evening;

Saturday afternoon from the U-Haul windshield;

My friends, I am now Houston area Sweptliner. I left Wichita and Winfield KS in my rear view mirror at 0400 Saturday morning. I arrived at my home in Houston Sat afternoon appx 1500. Frankentruck seemed to bear the burden of being towed by a ford fairly well since it was a pleasant ride on a trailer for relocation purposes and not for breakdown.

Rule # 1....Never ask someone if they are from TEXAS.....If they are they were going to tell you anyways, if they aren't you will just embarrass them. :lol:

Also BEEF rules, but you've seen your fair share of stockyards in Kansas.

Yes, I'm glad it went smooth and safe. Was a little worried about towing the ol' beast on a uhaul car transport - but although the van and trailer rental was GAH expensive - it was a flawless trip.
LOL I'm no stranger to the South coast. I grew up in New Iberia / Loreauville LA, so... yeah, I know what you mean about anyone N of I-10 LOL Kansas was good, but it's time to come home.

What's the difference between a Yankee and a damn Yankee?

A Damn Yankee is pulling a U-Haul.

Welcome to TX. I moved down from MN almost twenty years ago.
