Things are going a little slower this morning. After yesterdays problems we noticed we needed a front end alignment. Tim had just replaced the front end tie arm ends ...which has to do with alignment an steering. So we have to kill time till that gets done at 11...then should be back on the road to at least winnemucca Nevada!
