Next updates will be Sunday morning.

The posts promised for Thursday morning will be slightly delayed, as will responses to Wednesday’s emails.

After leaving my sister’s house Wednesday afternoon near Tacoma, we drove smokey roads all the way home to Pasco. After a quick, partial unpack of the motorhome, I ran a couple errands while Ann set off a flea bomb in the motorhome (our dog picked up some fleas at my sister’s farm).

Around 10pm, I was ready to do updates when I realized my computer was not in my computer backpack. That is when I discovered my computer had been packed by my wonderful wife into a drawer rather than my backpack. Thus, it was accidentally amongst the items to be “debugged”.

So, I let the debugger tun its course last night and will retrieve the debugged computer this morning to complete some updates for later today.

(This was supposed to appear Thursday morning, but I messed up!)

Just a few updates today.  We will be gypsying in the motorhome for the next week or so. We’ll be in Roy, WA, for a couple days at my sister’s place, then down to Ethyl for the weekend for some jeep races, then most likely back to my sister’s place (redoing her roof and fixing stuff).

Bruce Troxell just published his take on the conclusion of the Alaska Or Rust adventure: http://blog.tirebuyer.com/alaska-rust-vintage-jeep-caravan-le-grand-finale/

Has some updates.

“1949 Willy’s for sale. Chevy 283, with 350 heads (I believe). Runs great! interior has a small tear on left side of the driver’s seat where the side and the top meet. It is covered with black gorilla tape and it works fine, exterior could use new paint, but I get compliments all the time. No idea what the actual mileage is, odometer reads 80,384.

The top is white and is in good shape, except the pull tab on the back window broke off. I use pliers to open and close it, but the top stays down 95% of the time.

This Jeepster comes with all side curtains and a black boot to cover for the top when it’s down. The transmission has been converted to automatic, accessory fan with on/off switch added to cool the motor, was told it has a chrysler front end, and floats a bit when driven, but it’s a 1949! There is some rust inside the wheel well and on the undercarriage. This would be a very simple, resto vehicle.

This is a fun car to own, selling it for family reasons.”

Not “all stock”, but there may be a fair stock jeep under those mods.

“46 Flat Fender Willys jeep for sale. All stock. Fun toy to play with. Has been garaged for 10 years.”

We finally made it to Pasco. On Sunday morning we will be taking the Vidals to Twin Falls, then returning the next day. Regular updates will appear again Tuesday morning. I will also have some final trip updates also.

BTW: I recharged Patterson’s battery last night and it started right up.

Thanks for everyone’s patience.

Those who have followed Ann and I on our eWillys adventures know that we do our best to provide nightly updates while traveling. I can confirm that doing those updates and keeping a group of people organized simultaneously was the most difficult thing I’ve done in years. By the time we neared Fairbanks, I was so sleep deprived I could barely write a cohesive paragraph. That’s a big reason I’ve had to delay the final two updates (trip from Beavercreek to Fairbanks and our last day in Fairbanks).

So, eWillys will be a little slow for the next couple of days. We’ll get it back on track over the next week.

Trip Update will be available in a couple hours.

It’s was our 5th anniversary last night, so I enjoyed some drinks and will spend the evening with Ann. I’ll update everyone on the trip Sunday morning.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.

Look like it may have a rear PTO:

Fair condition, Runs. Need battery for the flathead 4cyl. Rear PTO Shaft. Bike rack. Have new seats.
1900.00″

I’ve been sick since Saturday night, alternating between chills and fevers. Hopefully I will feel better this morning!!
