ALL WAS GOING WELL UNTIL THE MORNING OF THE SECOND DAY WHEN WE SAW THE I-70 SOUTH CLOSED SIGN COMING OUT OF INDY . MOTHER NATURE HAD GIVEN THOSE LIVING IN THAT AREA A REAL ONE – TWO PUNCH TO THE GUT . FLOODING HAD SOME TOWNS COMPLETELY UNDER WATER AND THE RIVERS HAD YET TO CREST . OUR THREE HOUR DELAY WAS A VERY SMALL INCONVENIENCE COMPARED TO THOSE WHO WERE SAND BAGGING AROUND THE CLOCK IN AN EFFORT TO SAVE THERE HOMES AND TOWNS .
WE MADE IT TO SPRINGFIELD MISSOURI THAT NIGHT AND WHILE I MUST SAY DRIVING A VAN PULLING A TRAILER IS NOWHERE AS MUCH FUN AS DRIVING ONE OF MY HOT RODS, AN "EVIL" SMILE CREPT ACROSS MY FACE WHEN WE STOPPED FOR THE NIGHT.
THE “HOT ROD POWER TOUR" WAS IN TOWN AND WHILE THE ROADSTER AND COUPE MADE THEIR RATHER BRASH AND NOISY ENTRANCE INTO THE PARKING LOT OF THE HOTEL FULL OF "HOT ROD TOUR CARS", I SLINKED AROUND BACK .
ROOMS WERE AVAILABLE AND AFTER THE INITIAL GATHERING AROUND OUR TWO HOT RODS THE COOLERS CAME OUT AND THE REFRESHMENTS STARTED TO FLOW.
SHE PROMISED TO GO BACK IN WITHOUT A FIGHT SO AFTER A BEER ( OR TWO ) THE BACK DOOR OF THE TRAILER OPENED AND SHE CAME OUT OF THE DARK IN FULL VOICE, HER LOW SLUNG HEADLIGHTS EMITTING AN EVIL GLOW AND LOOKING LIKE SHE WAS READY FOR A FIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE HOT ROD GOD "DEUCE" SURE HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR !!!!!!!!!!!
MONDAY MORNING ------ RAIN , RAIN , RAIN AND MORE RAIN . FROM SPRINGFIELD MISSOURI TO THE OTHER SIDE OF OKLAHOMA CITY IT FLAT POURED !!!!!!!!!!!!
THE VAN WASN’T SO BAD AFTER ALL .
