The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Yeah about 10 minutes after I talked to brian, the passenger side rear spindle/bearing suddenly let loose. I thought I had a flat pulled over the side of the road. Got out, no flat tire. Ok maybe the lugs came loose. Went to wiggle the tire and the drum was wiggling with the rim. That really sucked bad. I was already late for the meet. So I went to a JY that I knew had some festiva's there, to try & pull off the whole passenger rear hub. Yeah like thats easy even with 4 cans of PBblaster. So finally we get one off, & pay the guy $50 for it cause he knew he had me by the balls. Drive the 30 mins back to the festy @ the side of the road. Get the old one off, new one on. Bleed the brakes. Off I go. Get to the meet just shy of 6 hours late.

Here are my meet pics in case you hadn't seen enough, Ill spare you the 46 remaining vacation pictures. The Zoo was awesome though :!: We took route 94 west home as suggested by a friend. Its was the most hilly twisting road Id ever driven on. :shock: It was beautiful if you dare take your eyes off the road. Wine country. A gear shifting road in the festiva for sure. I was glad to get back on a straight and flat road after about 40 miles of that roller coaster ride. The wife and I had a great time and the weather couldn't have been nicer for November 17th. !!! It was a happening !!! That's a good place to meet and there is a lot of stuff to do.
