Not to disagree, but some states require their state's drivers license now to purchase any ammunition.  My son is a long distance trucker, and he has encountered this in several places.  Joe-JDC

Wow, that's interesting.  In Minnesota we can just walk in to Wal-mart or Cabella's and buy whatever you need.  And Minnesota is a fairly liberal state.  They don't make you show ID in Texas, do they Joe?
In some stores they will ask for ID, and only allow you to buy one box of anything.  Cabella's has limits here on some ammo, and none available in others.  For the longest time we could not get anything in 22 caliber, but slowly it is available in one box(50 rounds)--no bricks.  I went for months looking for .22MHP.  I have an advantage, though, Jay.  My white hair and 'stash usually gets me by without showing proof of age or residence.  LOL

Enjoy your week in the USA!  I have the same trouble with iPhone, but it's just my lack of eye-finger coordination  :o
Sometimes takes me three or four times to get it right.

Yes, I got the PM. Glad things worked out. I just took the Mach for a drive tonight to see a friends new '29 Model A tonight. About the most rust free original I've ever seen.

I don't know of anyplace that sells racks anymore. They used to be common, but now it almost guarantees you to get pulled over and harassed by law enforcement. It also used to be common to see someone sitting along the road waiting to shoot a groundhog, but even that invites problems these days. Needless to say, they don't last long around my place ;)

Had a great time seeing you and your buddy today, Heo (which, by the way, is just an alias to throw off border patrols ;)). Just as I was finishing up the exhaust on the truck, so good timing. Seeing that incredibly solid center door '19 Model T was a rare chance. I don't believe I've ever seen a T with such good ORIGINAL wood! What a beauty. My 81 year old Dad got a real kick out of seeing it.

I wasn't sure how long you had to stay, and I had another 1/4 tank left in the Mustang so we could have kept driving for another......10 miles (at that pace ;D)

I looked forward all weekend to meeting you. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy the rest of your journey.

Very cool to meet you guys.
We had multiple folks drop in all at the same time - so things got pretty hectic.
I hope you saw enough to make it worth the visit.

Doug's Mach has a pretty nasty sounding motor in there....I envy the chance for the ride.

That Model T body was really, really nice - nicer than many cars I have seen from the 70s - you scored big!
Enjoy the rest of your journey - - seems like a great time!
