Pleading the Fifth
04/19/08 03:36 PM | Up Chucks
Friday. The fifth and final day of the road trip. What stays in Michigan probably happens in Michigan. We only happened to drive through it from the southern reaches of the U.P. all they way over to the glove and down. From Benton Harbor we shot East South East on M31 until we got to Niles, at Niles we got onto M12.
Lunkers in Niles Michigan, what else need be said?
In Niles I pulled into the parking lot of Lunkers to get a photo of their sign. We entered Indiana 10 miles past Christiana Lake and Adamsville turning south off of M12 onto M131 which became Highway 15 in Indiana from there we ventured South and East until we got to highway 5 and took it into Shipshewana and Amish country. After buying some grass feed beef products we continued South until Ligonier where we grabbed 33 and went SE on it until highway 9. At Columbia City we darted over to Ft. Wayne on 30 then grabbed I-69 down to our next stop. 717 N. Capitol Ave. in Indianapolis to pick up Charlie from the Tender Loving Pets Doggy Day Care.
These original 1HP jalopies own the roads in Shipshewana
Home with Charlie I unpacked the rental for the last time. It was obvious that his eye sight had degraded even more in the 5 days since he was dropped off. He ran into a lot of things in the yard, and even into Jenni's leg once. After the unpacking was done I called the store to see if I had packages there, Rich had two waiting for me so we agreed to meet up at the Chatterbox for a parts transfer. We also had jumper cables for another mission that didn't happen yesterday. That story will have it telling in due time.
I got my replacement center console. I got my rubber isolator boot for the shifter and the grommets for my trunk emblem while I was away playing. Plus in the mailbox at the house I got my center cap stickers for the Blue Frankensteins wheels (but they were the wrong size ones, so I have to contact the e-bay guy I got them from for a correction of order). After the Chatterbox Jenni went to the store so it was time to play in the garage again. I replaced the isolator boot and cleaned parts and when Jenni got home (at just after 9) she gave me automobile detailing toys and carpet cleaner (which works really well). So I cleaned carpets and parts and prepared for Saturday when I could begin putting the interior back together.
