hello everyone! I expect to be on the road tomorrow so I am posting a day early for Friday market
the planning process for the JUN/JUL trip is moving forward rapidly - I expect to be on the road shortly after Memorial Day and will carry over into JULY - it looks like I am likely to go coast to coast twice - I will be in New England at least once - I will be in the upper midwest possibly twice - of course I am based out of Texas so I will be passing through here periodically also - parts of the trip are already FULLY LOADED! - so get your intent to me ASAP even if it is tentative I need name, address, phones, email, local directions, and a description of the animals for the pick up and name, address, phones, email, and local directions for the drop off to be able to do final planning for those interested a home for the critically endangered Santa Cruz sheep has been found in Ohio - the herd of 11 animals will be relocated during the JUN/JUL trip - the new home is with an experienced rare breed breeder who has excellent facilities to give these sheep a safe home! I expect to be enroute to either TN or FL tomorrow to pick a new engine for the van/RV - we are still working out the details of where I meet this low mileage engine - it will be rebuilt and installed in the van/RV immediately so that I have some time to test drive it before starting the JUN/JUL trip - this will give my mechanic a chance to totally dismantle and analyze the troublesome engine that has burnt three pistons since October - then it will be rebuilt and will serve as a spare for future swap outs - this spare engine along with the spare transmission will give ready to go spares for emergency situations when I am having drive line problems - this along with a spare tow vehicle means that I am making a concerted effort to never have animals stranded on the road because of equipment problems - this is a VERY expensive process for me but I feel that your animals deserve the best! please reply to my private email below - I DO NOT MONITOR THE GROUPS! -- questions?
