Truck on the move

My good friend Bob and I drove up to Barstow and back, then to Chula Vista, then back to San Diego for 400miles+. but we got the truck down to the engine installers, and it could take 2 weeks. guess I need to get used to the motorcycle.

Truck trouble

We got back from Utah, barely:
Just after we got through Las Vegas. I had truck trouble. The Dodge started overheating, and as fast as I could pull it over, The temperature gauge pegged, and the engine started knocking, and the engine seized and shut off. 'A' and I were stranded in the desert in 113deg heat, waiting for AAA. after 50 mins. they showed up, and towed us 50 miles to Barstow where Kim picked me up she drove up from San Diego 2.5 hours. It is a sad day in the Ratza house. This is going to cost between $3k - $6k, to fix.
Anybody out there got an extra hemi motor?

got out for a hike

We decided to brave the heat ( 100+) and get out to see the physical geography. The local mountains were so picturesque. we had to go for a little hike and some rock climbing( in flip flops)
Amber was a little more daring then me, but I held my own, enjoy:

St. George Utah

Made a road trip to St. George Utah for , what else? A softball tournament. It is hot here, but beautiful. So far we have just been back and forth to the fields and hotel, here is a picture, to start with, I will get some more today.
