UNLOADING THE GALLOPING GOOSE NOVEMBER 9, 2008

I left Springfield Missouri around noon on Saturday and kept driving as long as I was able.  Other than a 2-hour rest stop in western Maryland, I just kept driving.  With 1100 miles behind me, I arrived home around 8 AM.

HONEY I'M HOME - and here's our new Galloping Goose!

WELCOME HOME HONEY - Charlotte was delighted with our new aquisition.

ENGINE STAND - BEFORE - It had a long steel track on top, but I wanted to change the stand slightly to fit in the garage better.

ENGINE STAND - AFTER - The ten-foot-long track will serve as an unloading ramp.  It fit nicely into the 2x4's.

OUT OF THE VAN - the Goose is carefully pulled out with a length of chain.

IS THE RAMP STRONG ENOUGH? - I sure hope so, 'cause here we go!

LOW ANGLE SHOT - basking in the warm Maryland sunshine.

SAFELY ON THE STAND - And it fits very nicely.

A PLACE TO CALL HOME - The Galloping Goose fits nicely between the golf cart and the lawnmower.  We'll try it on the track later this week.  Meanwhile I need to get some sleep!
