The Cockpit of the Spruce Goose

I’m going to take the weekend off. Next update will be Monday morning.

Today I spent some time doing some housekeeping on the site, including updating the WordPress backbone to the latest version along with all the plugins. Phone users (and everyone) can now search a little more easily using the ADV search link at the top of the page. So, if something doesn’t quite work right, that’s probably why.

Here’s how our Spruce Goose photo is supposed to look:

On another note, Colin shared an email with me that I altered into the story below. I don’t know about you all, but I warned Ann when we first started dating to tell me before she cut or colored her hair. I said I’d never notice. She’ll even point it out and I still can’t tell, but I can sure spot a jeep with just a glance.

A husband went to the police station to file a “missing person” report for his missing wife:

Husband : I lost my wife, she went shopping & hasn’t come back.
Inspector : What is her height ?
Husband: I never checked.
Inspector : Slim or healthy ?.
Husband: Not slim, can be healthy.
Inspector : Color of eyes ?
Husband : Never noticed.
Inspector : Color of hair ?
Husband : Changes according to season.
Inspector : What was she wearing?
Husband : I think it was red, but not sure whether it was a dress or a suit.
Inspector : Was she driving?
Husband : Yes.

Inspector : Tell me the make, model & color of the vehicle . . . . .
Husband : She was driving a harvest tan CJ-3A with a Buick V6 that generates 250 horsepower powering a Ford Toploader 4 Speed. It has a full cage colored a faux shade of aluminum. The winch on the front is a classic pre-Warn belleview winch held up by an ARB bumper that I customized. There’s a small scratch on the hood and a dent on rear quarter panel …..

The husband halted, then started crying…

Inspector: Don’t worry sir, ……. We will find your jeep.

    Enjoy the well-deserved rest! It’s been great reading about your epic road trip adventures AND still getting my daily dose of jeeps from all over. THANKS for sharing the story 🙂
