A Wedding Toast

Wanted to put this up for everyone to see. This is Brandt's toast - my best man - at the wedding reception:

May your gas tank never run empty, except for when you'd like to just sit together under the stars.

May your ignition switch always turn each other on.

May your transfer case shift smoothly through your highs, lows, and neutrals.

May your spark plugs always ignite passion in your life.

May your four wheel drive always get you through the tough spots.

And may you love each other even after the wheels come off.

Frankly, it brings tears to my eyes reading it right now after one week of wedded bliss.

As a brief update, we are still in Spokane. We are on our way out now, but we got held up yesterday putting the spare on the hood - or since it is a Rover, the Bonnet. We camped last night in Riverside State Park outside of Spokane and had a great nights rest. It cooled off so much last night that it was downright chilly, which was a nice switch after having driven through the dessert at 110 degrees - not counting the heat coming off the engine.

I would like to say that 55 miles per hour is VERY fast in a 1964 Rover, so we are really on Rover time now, which is to say, taking our sweet ass time.

We will post more pictures later as we need to beat feet out of here if we are to get to Glacier today. We have a bout 250 miles to go, which sounds like nothing to those of you driving modern cars, but it will certainly take us all day.

The SPOT locater is in tracking mode now which means it just follows up without us having to update it. So, feel free to follow along, it is working flawlessly.
