Gary, just in case you do have to venture into the woods, on foot, for any reason, you might come into contact with some poison ivy. Carry appropriate lotion.

John - It was HOT the day before when I did the wash and wax. Yesterday wasn't too bad under the lift.

David - Not sure there is any poison ivy where we are going, but the first aid kit has the stuff for it. Thanks.

Nothing Special

Re: Planning For Big Blue's Trip To Ouray

We've run into a LOT of poison ivy in the Black Hills (South Dakota). But none in Colorado (or Moab for that matter). Not saying there's no chance of seeing it, I don't know enough to say that. But it sure isn't common anyway.

Thanks, Bob. I didn't think I remembered poison ivy there, but it is good to know.

THE TRUCK IS READY! I may have said yesterday that all of the lubes had been checked, but that wasn't quite right as I'd forgotten the tranny, although it has now been checked. And I hadn't lubed the rear u-joint, but got it today. See the to-be post in Big Blue's Transformation on that.

So tomorrow I'll spend the time before people get here to pack for Ouray. I already have a start on that, but need to get a lot more done so I'm ready for Monday.
