An excellent write up Rian, as usual. Thanks for having us all ride along with you.
So sorry to hear about Dukey, but we know he had a great last few years with you and Harley.

Great write up Guys, been a privilege to have had an insight. Love seeing the booty laid out. Nothing better than admiring your US wares that simply cannot be got in the UK without paying the middleman.

Like you say, at least the Ginger Whibger had some very good years Yep, brilliant write up as usual. Great photos too, kept me entertained from the first post to the last. Thanks for taking the time to share it with us all. Sharing is easy as lng as guys enjoy the randomness. Glad you enjoyed it. Great write up Guys, been a privilege to have had an insight. Love seeing the booty laid out. Nothing better than admiring your US wares that simply cannot be got in the UK without paying the middleman. LOL. Booty lay out even had me surprised Just got back home after 2 weeks away, read the 2/3rds of this I missed, thank you Rian and Craig (and all the people on your travels) Agreed with thanking all the people who made it possible.

Because I have enjoyed this write up of your US adventures so much, I prescribe that grizz and craigrk will have to go again soon so we don't get withdrawal symptoms. Oh, and you didn't try hard enough to get Dennis (or any one of you for that matter) tasered...

I don't know how I managed to miss this at the start Grizz because I will normally click on your threads - they're just enjoyable reading. Thank you for going to all the trouble of writing this up, it must have been a huge workload. Glad to hear you're back home safe and my condolonces on Dukey.

Oh, and you didn't try hard enough to get Dennis (or any one of you for that matter) tasered... Thank you very much mate. I am really pleased when guys get some value from the random stuff I post up. I also find that I get much enjoyment from people’s threads who take the time to write up, as it eats a lot of time. I don't know how I managed to miss this at the start Grizz because I will normally click on your threads - they're just enjoyable reading. Thank you for going to all the trouble of writing this up, it must have been a huge workload. Glad to hear you're back home safe and my condolonces on Dukey. Thank you mate. I see you are a guy of few words, or is that few posts. Thanks also re Dukey. My animals are my only family, and both, though very different, are characters in the stories I weave on here, and for some, they are family too. Thanks for taking us on another trip. Really enjoyed tagging along. Good to have you along. Comment elsewhere Quick bit of randomness. The last few weeks at work have been hectic. Culminating on Friday in a marathon training, plractical and learning session. I was up at 04.00 because this sort of thing stresses and kills my head. Headed to Cobham for the day by 07.00 and finished there at 5.45pm All in all, it seems the boss and our trainers are still happy to let me loose amongst our customers in London and outskirts. On the way back I stopped in at Craig and his family, Lorraine was doing steaks and desert, what’s not to like. When I got there, she had just got home from scouts with their daughter and Kyle, their awesome son (I rarely like teenagers) was in the garage, painting up a a contraption Craig had designed and built to change the way the dogs access the house in winter. While I was there, Craig worked on getting my 5500 photos from my old mobile and the 2500 onnthe new one into a saved file and will then try create a new super file for my iPhone I left their place at about 9.30 and headed home, before I left, I noticed their daughters Halloween protector was outside her bedroom door. Pic from Dennis, a delivery vehicle at the body shop had made the smallest amount of damage to the tailgate during a delivery, (which I did not even notice, and I am reasonably critical) and typical of a paint and body guy who paints high end stuff, he felt it necessary to repaint the GMC, making it even better now in my opinion. Waiting for craigrk to come and do his final comments......

For the last few years I've been renting, actually for the last 14 years I've been renting in Cork City and haven't had shed space in that time to be working on anything interesting so I don't have anything interesting to post hopefully in the next few months I will get a 2 car garage built in the house we bought a year ago - we're just after applying to the planning process. It takes a few months here and Christmas is in the middle of that so I should get a Go/NoGo in March sometime

And sorry about Dukey Thank you John, not sure why I did not reply sooner, as I did see your reply before. The sharing is something that comes naturally to me, so a pleasure to do on here. My real reward is when guys and girls take the time to reply and comment on my threads. Thank you mate. I see you are a guy of few words, or is that few posts. Thanks also re Dukey. My animals are my only family, and both, though very different, are characters in the stories I weave on here, and for some, they are family too.

It takes a few months here and Christmas is in the middle of that so I should get a Go/NoGo in March sometime I trust your planning process has progressed and that things are going in the direction you need them to go. Christmas for me is generally wasted time, but this year, I may just get a gazebo out back and pull the Blazer in under it and start to flatten out the paintwork on it. forum.retro-rides.org/thread/206373/grizz-2wd-chevy-blazer-projectIt is as rough as a badgers rear end, so any help with it will be a good thing. Thank you for posting up. PS. 17000 VIEWS !!
WoW.

Title changed....... Clues. 🚓👮♂️🦃⛽️🦖🤷♂️🤠🌪🥓🌭🍔🌮🍩✈️🚧⛰💰💸💵🎥📹🚸 ®️&©️ 🇿🇦 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 booked to go again soo Not booked, but it seems possible. Popped over to craigrk and his family about 80 miles or 120km from my place on Christmas Eve. They do like getting into the swing of things , I don’t...... But Craig and his wife were going to drag me there, even if it meant kicking and screaming. I seem to recall the last time I saw Craig in a mask, things went south fast, and we ended up getting pulled over by a State Trooper with Dennis in Arkansas. Deja Vu ? I had taken Craig’s wife, who can do not wrong, a bottle of Prosecco, and when I got there, Craig gave me some lovely chocolates and Lorraine handed me the winning prize, three French sausages. After a few manly chores, done including taking the dogs to boarding kennels, we headed out along wit the kids and Lorraine’s sister who is over from South Africa To this address........ Hint in the name. And the facilities...... Our waiter lady (sorry, no selfie with her) informed us there were free Margaritas on offer as it was a Monday evening. Hmmmmm..... You know this can only turn into fun, or mischief. Craig ordered a smallish steak that he could not finish. I was predicable...... Wings and ribs. Wings are miniatures compared to American wings, but hey ho, I did not go hungry at all. Not sure if the Margaritas can be blamed or not, but between us, Craig and I realised we need to go back to the USA next year, this time to make a video travel programme....... So any advice on GoPro and legalities etc appreciated. Everything subject to change and natural,disasters

ZA? Driving? must be using 4x4's this time then! Now there's an idea!! I have a Ford Ranger I'd love to donate to the family down there. The one made famous by grizz filming while I pirouetted in the snow!! Might need a bit more planning than our regular events though...
