I'm still planning/hoping to get there sometime Thursday evening with the AFX. If all goes well the Tiger ought to be there about a week before the event. I'm hoping to take care of the insurance issues for both tanks tomorrow. Now for the bad news, my truck broke down. Not only did it break down but it did so on the way back home to NY/LI from Florida in Florence South Carolina. I've made arrangements to have it shipped back here to LI but the trucking company in SC is looking to fill up their car hauler before sending it north bound. So I don't know when it's going to be back here. The worse news, I'm pretty sure that I lost a connecting rod so between the repairs and shipping I probably won't get my truck back until after the Shatner event. So we don't have a tow vehicle at this time to haul the Tiger and we also have the 3rd Cousins event Upstate NY this coming weekend. We've got at least three different possible alternative tow vehicles I hope but in the worst case scenario I'll go out and rent a U-haul. This has caused me to lose some precious time to work on the AFX but I'm not too worried (really, I think). Although I just might be hanging the netting on it at EMR hahaha.
