    The things you do to occupy yourself while waiting...
    At least now you have a solid timeline for delivery. Glad to hear it.

    It's all good.......
    Mike, you and Byron checked it over very thoroughly. I'm sure it will be in even nicer condition than I'm expecting. If there's a thing or two it's not going to be a big deal. It's 31 years old after all. Gonna need a good wash after the trip though.

    Back section of the headliner is hanging down. I'll have to figure a way to pin it up temporarily.

    Got a message from the actual trucker who is picking it up - he won't be getting it until Sunday. Supposed to be here Thursday or Friday.

    A time or two I've looked at a vehicle for someone, made a recommendation (one time do NOT buy - he did anyway and loved it), then sweated bullets until they had a look themselves. Not one ever came back and said it was not what I'd said it was - the relief was noticeable.

    Fox, you do what you can, offer your best opinion, and that is all you can do. KK will be delighted with his purchase no doubt and there will always be things you won't notice that some one else might. It happens, it comes with the package. KK is just fortunate that you were willing to do what you did.

    Well, KK...your wagon didn't get picked up any too soon. The snow is here in the MidWest.:( I hope your driver doesn't run into any real bad storms on his way to Springfield!:disagree:

    I'm not sure the wagon has been picked up yet. Checking on that now.
    What's the weather like back there, and what's the forecast?

    Snow Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th, then getting colder. Keep in mind that I am farther South than the route the truck will likely take. We are warmer and get less snow than Minneapolis and up through the Plains. If I was loading cars to drive that route right now I would be ON it without further adieu!
