More Miles by Boat
Today marks 90 days since I saw my truck for the first time. On that cold February morning, as we huddled around the truck, the sunlight from the open door at the front of the barn struggled to reach all the way into the back. There in the rear, under car jackets and with bags of desiccant, sits a Saudi Syclone which has been tucked neatly away since the fall of 1998.
While there, I had the opportunity and pleasure to hear stories from the original owner, a GM engineer who worked on the project. I listened carefully, trying to lock into memory all the tips, tricks, and stories he offered. I also took some pictures, which can be viewed Here. With only 1,269 miles, the truck looks impressive.
Now 3 months later, the ice and snow have melted, and the Spring has arrived. On Sunday I will be going to pick up the truck and bring it home. Ken and Merk are giving me a hand, and anyone else in the area is welcome to join us. Check back Sunday night or Monday, as you can be sure there will be plenty more pictures (in the sunlight this time) and story to tell.
