Indeed, fun times!!! We'll get together in a day or two. I might be here longer than planned (missing job materials) so we may down some more drinks.

BTW, the rental car place y'all sent me to was a life saver AND a funny story too!! Ill post more on that later.

For anyone thinking of coming to the Virgin Islands during peak tourist season, make SURE you have a rental car reserved in advance!!! And be prepared for the most stressful driving you'll ever do below 35mph!!!

I must cut a pretty good light. I haven't been honked at once for sitting at a light. A lot of folks honk to get into traffic or when approaching a blind turn.

If you think driving on St. Thomas is "fun" go over to St John and deal with the mountains, the jitney/taxi drivers, and the traffic in Cruz Bay... Wink

St John is my FAVORITE vacation spot... period! Very Happy

Gramps.... Low Cash John came by and look @ SID... As soon Stretch Shorty cover was pulled.. It was a wrap!! Laughing Laughing

I'm glad he came by and look @ the cars... Hopefully tomorrow we head out to the dock and watch some of the cars get loaded on the boat to St Croix.

Update: A Saturday morning. My cousin towed S.I.D. The beam is narrowed so the tow bar couldn't fit on the beam. I have a custom made tow bar but the beam will need a bracket welded on to accommodate. I wouldn't do this again!! Turn out that the tow bar had bent but it's nothing a welder can't fix! I owe him big time!! PROGRESS!!

First time rolling on the street.

Gotta Thank Low Cash John for swinging thru and cutting it up with us. Good times in the compound!
