My kids normally go to Ohio every year to visit my family for a week in the summer. Because of current circumstances that is not going to happen this summer. Instead, we are going to meet my parents at Land Between the Lakes in Kentucky. This is a national recreation area that was created in 1963 by President Kennedy. It has many off-pavement roads and more than 300 miles of shoreline.
As I prepare for this trip, I have a few things that I need to get done to Jinx. First I need to get my steering fixed, which I hope is just a steering gear box. Next I need to get an oil change. Also, a tire rotation (hopefully I can make this trip on these tires). I would like to also get a different set of side mirrors. I would like the same style as I have, but in the Barricade brand that allows the passenger mirror to flip out and be seen while the doors are on. I also need to install the front license plate more permanently on the new front bumper, and a new windshield. Finally some vinyl that I have on-hand.
I am nearly a month out, but this list was a lot longer a few weeks ago.
