Took a road trip with the reddevl

Even with stuff seemingly falling off the wagon (well, I actually did lose my corner light!), TWO gallons of gas spilling out and under my wagon in Arlington when the pump didnt stop while filling up (gas was literally flowing DOWN the flipping gutter!), BAD driveways where I rubbed, bumped and grinded down, a PLAGUE of grasshoppers, I made it there and back!

In Pendleton picking up my kids.

Where we set up tent at my friends place I have been going to since 1977!

Image

We found 3 praying mantis which have become increadibly common in the area since 1993.

Image

And the plague of hoppers!

Image

Image

The hoppers were slimed all over my front, in the engine bay, in the windows, EVERYWHERE!


I averaged about 20 mpg @ xx speed, not slow, but no tickets.

Had a great time seeing friends I hadnt seen in about 20 years.

And the best part? I made it home.

haha... sweet deal Doug...

Those uh, are some nasty grasshoppers!

And thanks for clearing those codes for me... Between that and finding the stupid vacuum leak all seems to be well with the car...

Sweet. I had a Praying Mantis for a pet one summer. I fed it crickets from the pet store. Its kinda neat how they are the only inset that can move its head independant of its body.
