Jeepster....

As you know, I had to leave the Jeep in Arizona...  Not by choice, but because the motorhome isn't supposed to tow over 5,000 pounds...  Also in Kansas, you are supposed to have a CDL to double tow...

Either way I was done... The trailer and the goldwing are around 2K in weight and the Jeep is about 4K...  So its too much to pull double with the little diesel and I didn't have a license either...

But I would like to sell a vehicle or more this spring as I can't drive all of these units...  Also licenses and insurance is getting a tad pricey to just have things sitting around...

But first I have to get everything back here..  So I purchased a cheap ticket back to Arizona...  Airline ticket..... Allegiant airlines...  They hop small airports at really nice prices...  And they fly into Mesa Gateway which is about 3 miles from my Az house...

Cab rides from Skyharbor all the way to Apache Junction are more pricey than the airline ticket from Wichita.. And no I wouldn't think of asking someone to meet me at the airport....  Gas back and forth would be an imposition, not to mention the time involved...

So I cooked up the plan to drive one of the cars to Wichita...   One that has a tow bar base plate on it...  Fly to Az and retrieve the Jeep...  Drive it back to Wichita and connect both cars together, towing one back to KC...  Seems like a lot of things to go thru, but it really saves the bucks..  And I am retired after all so time means very little....

In other news, they caught the interstate shooter...  They said it was a metallic green car..  And they caught a fellow in  a pearlescent green Dodge Neon...  Seems he lived about 5 miles from the  triangle intersection that he was terrorizing... Of course no word about his motive, but they found a bag of bullets with his fingerprints on them.. Again we don't have word of where they found those..

They had been watching him for several days, but didn't actually catch him in the act...  Of course he says it wasn't him.. And now yesterday he concocted that he had been a victim of the shootings not the fellow doing it....

If he gets a good lawyer, he'll probably get off somehow...  But we mysteriously haven't had any new instances since he was apprehended...  Imagine that.........

In the motorcycles are as expensive as airplanes category, I rode up to our Kansas Honda dealer today and purchased 4 quarts of Honda oil and a filter to do a spring oil change...  $65 dollars in a plastic sack...  The oil is 50/50 synthetic and conventional which is recommended to use one time before going totally synthetic...  So I asked, and the price isn't any different than the completely synthetic stuff... I thought about asking why, but knew instinctively it  was a waste of my time...

So that's another project facing me too....  But I'm keeping busy this way...LOL

Happy Easter!!!!  The Lord is Resurrected !
