Blazed a trail out of Vegas this morning. And made it down to near palm springs about 4. The 8.3 did not like some of those hills on the way to Twenty nine sticks.

Should be fine for the trip back for profo. Used two quarts of oil the whole trip mostly due to the front cover leaking.

Marty will be upgrading to an HX50, some bigger injectors, fuel plate change, and an exhaust brake. She thinks she needs some more guts.

I fly back to Louisiana in the morning.
