Smile! Yer about to get wet!

So my father turned 68 this year.  I thought it would be a nice gift to give him my tractor lawn mower and a few other items that I knew he could use that I simply no longer needed.   The main issue was getting the tractor to him.. I mean this thing aint small and I no longer have a truck..  I decided the best bet would be to rent a truck and haul it to him..  It’s a thousand mile trip from my home in Texas to his in Tennissee and I didn’t really look forward to that drive in that truck..  I certainly didn’t want to make it twice!    So I also loaded up my Motorcycle with the plan of riding it back.

First to the truck;  I rented a Penske 16′ truck and told the lady on the phone what I wanted to do.  She didn’t seem to care, even though once I got the truck they label on the wall said no gasoline powered vehicles..  *shrug* I told her what I was planning to do, so as far as I was concerned I was okayed to do it..  The mower was out of gas anyway and the motorcycle had very little in it.. I think their intent was to keep you from causing a fire and that was my intent too, so all was well..

So I have been asked repeatedly when am I going to get these photos posted.. I have to apologize that its taken this long.. My only real excuse is that I’m lazy.. I could lie and say it took a while to get them developed, but it’s a digital camera.. In reality the thing that took the longest was having a clear way to display them. The lightbox made that happen, then it was just a matter of typing this stuff out. It’s a long post.. but then it was 7 days of fun so.. lots to talk about..

Below I give a day by day break down of what the photos are as well as where / what we were doing at the time of the photo. Each heading will have all the photos for that section and some of them will be explained further within the body of the text giving the same link again.
