Darn good time was had by moi. I got a late start Sunday and then stopped off if Fredricksburg, TX, to see an X AZ Cobra, Hershel Bird. Spent 2 or 3 hours with him and then drive to Big Spring. Pretty sure the temperature was close to 100°. Certainly felt like it and I was plenty whipped. Stopped again today in Socorro and now that the extensive street repair is finished, I don't dislike the town as much. I also picked a much better, cheapo motel that's going to provide breakfast. Others I used said they couldn't because of the bug. Not a big deal but a nice perk. Will finish off my last 400+- miles tomorrow. My car is SO dirty! Wonder if my sweetie will get out there and clean it up?����
