It could make a slight jump over southern Mississippi/Alabama. I could pick it up and bring it to Nashville. But like Josh said, lets see where it goes first...

According to MastuhWaffles, ab_slack is suppose to get it from him 1/26 or 1/27.

And that is still the plan. I've been pinning down time table a bit finer. I might stay an extra day in Utah so I am more on a 1/27 or 1/28 path barring any storms.

Got some warm weather (34deg whoo hoo!) so going to go change the oil in prep for the trip With the ice in the driveway I can't pull out the 2WD Ranger and expect to get it back up so this will be an outdoors change.

Also going to give the brakes a check. Rear are good but I think its been a while since I did the fronts, wanna make sure pads are good for the next few thousand miles.

And the oil change done. Brakes appear to have between 40% and 50% of the pad left which should be good enough.

Well that is why I wore short sleeves while doing the oil change.

RangerSVT · Jan 20, 2015

Just wanted to say that the banner has been through Springfield Missouri already...Back on March 9, 2014.... Saw a post a few pages back about bringing it this way. I think it went from here to St. Louis. Not sure how it got down to Texas after that. Just wanted to let someone know so they don't back track the banner unnecessarily.

ab_slack · Jan 24, 2015

I am on the road, days away from the pickup, will keep you all posted

ab_slack · Jan 26, 2015

Still on my outbound leg, been to Minneapolis and am proceeding to my next stop in Utah. I am currently in York Nebraska.

My BII temperature was running a bit high today, I been thru two significant snows so far and although I been out of snow and warmer temps for half a day, she has been covered with salt. It was caked on so thick and was flaking off and it was all in the AC radiator. I think that was blocking too much air. I took her to a car wash and got the salt off and temperatures are back to where I see them normally. I've never had that happen before.

So I will be arriving in Utah Monday Night, will head out towards wichita fall Tuesday afternoon. It will take 17 hours, so with one overnight, I should be there to get banner Wednesday Evening barring any problems.

From there I am going to proceed to Dallas and spend the night at my Sisters. Then off to Tennessee to deliver the banner Wednesday sometime. So Thursday or Friday I will be in Tenn with the banner if plan holds.

Of course...since I now committed to a plan...something will go wrong

Hope you have safe travels. So you're meeting up with JoshT around Chattanooga, correct?

There was lots of talk but I don't know what was best for short term since I know some spoke about things they were doing months away

Last plan I knew was had some firmness to it was to hand it off to you about Nashville. I can hand off to Josh in Chattanooga instead. Which now that I am more awake (instead of 4am) is looking more like Friday or Sat since my sister is trying to get me to stay an extra day at her place.

I don't know if Josh was expecting or not.

If y'all can sort that let me know, there is no problem for me either way.
