>From John Kuzman:

Well, Holy Sprite is resting comfortably in my garage in Southwest
Ohio. I thought I had better back it into the garage last night for
fear of hearing the neighbors saying, "Good Lord, he got another one!"

It was great to see David and Trish again. Last saw them at LotO. Of
course, it should come as no surprise that barefoot David and Trish
towed the Holy Sprite from just west of St. Louis to south of
Indianapolis with a Miata!

David and I carefully plotted a meeting place which would avoid Indy
rush hour traffic, only to have a road closure when we were about 5
miles apart. After a slight detour, we met up near Bluff Creek, IN
about 6:15 pm.

David is taking the tires and wheels from Holy Sprite, so when the
tires were taken off the front of the trailer (and with the 1500
gone), the trailer was back heavy. We moved Holy Sprite forward on the
trailer about 6 in. and all was well. Towed great at 58-62 mph.

About 2 hours into my return trip, David called my cell to inform me
that he still had the safety pin for the trailer latch! I will replace
that today. I need to also add an extension to the flat 4 plug. All
trailer lights worked fine when I left David and Trish, but a passerby
informed me that the lights were out. The first right-hand turn pulled
the plug out. Easy fix.

We will be heading out of the West Chester, Ohio area Friday around
noon and will meet up with Bud in Cambridge, UK!!! Nope, that's
Cambridge, Ohio. After that, just a trip across the Keystone State and
on to Frank's for an extreme makeover.
