OK, Pun intended! Didn't know what else to call this thread.
So most all you guys and girls know I'm on here listing / selling a lot of parts. Started out by selling my extra parts from my projects. Then one day I got a message from a member here that a guy he knew had a bunch of stuff he needed to part with because he had sold his house and didn't want to scrap his collection of fine Mopar parts! Thanks George!
So with the help of my wonderful / beautiful wife who said I needed something to do to keep me busy and out of her hair, we went and got this guy's stash of parts and began our Excellent Adventure! Now, we are gearing up for our next big adventure, which will include parts dropping along the way, meeting some of you guys along with some people on Facebook groups.
This parts drop stuff started when I had sold a pair of bucket seats to Jim in southern Missouri. Then the Covid deal broke and delivery got put on hold, for about a year. Every day I would look up and see those seats in the shop and bug me.
Theresa and I were in the Smokey Mountains for a Motorcycle Ride for a week and brought the seats with us. One rainy day we hopped in the truck and took off 700 miles to drop the seats off to Jim In MO. Which happens to be right there on part of Old Route 66.

Rob & Kitty in Macon, GA. Super nice people to meet! Stopped in Chattanooga, TN and dropped a bunch of stuff to a guy there, then on to southern IL to Marion, then on to Mascoutah IL and also Springfield MO. Have met a few different members along the way on a trip up in North Carolina. Met with Jackie and his wife Susan and also Mike over in Mineral Bluff, Ga. Both great guys! Latest was a trip up to Va to pick up a car from a member here, Frank. Again, another great guy to deal with and meet and BS with.

Next up is another quick trip back up to Chattanooga for a drop a couple drops in GA again and then a pick in North Florida and back home to rest and reload for our big S/W road trip with drops along the way! Looking forward to meeting a couple few members from here and Facebook also. Biking in the Rockies, desert and what ever else comes our way.

So what was just a little part of my hobby is turning into bigger things, helping others find some parts they need that otherwise might get scrapped. Thanks for you all buying my stuff and I'll keep looking for more!
TO BE CONTINUED!
