Ken had purchased a manual from me earlier in the week and instead of having it shipped he chose to have a nice 3.5 hour drive each way to visit the valley.  I sort of chuckle when I see parts are only an hour or two away.  My road trip is just starting at that point.  10 hour trip planned to Alberta tomorrow.   Us westerners enjoy our curvy roads and enhanced speed limits.  Very nice visit and was good to catch up with him again.
