Stop in for a cup of coffee

I got my 904 rebuilt yesterday and went all the way to Des Moines Iowa about 800 miles one way and learned a lot about transmissions and had a great time visiting a great friend.
I think most of you in Iowa know who I mean.

One time my son's friends from Detroit was coming to stay for a weekend... The weather was bad and the flights were delayed/cancelled... I told his mom that I'd meet her halfway and pick him up... She insisted on driving him the whole way...

I told her to call me right as she crossed the IL/IN border so I could give her good directions... No, she tries to wing it, then calls me in a panic saying, "We're in Des Moines!!!!"

I know that there's no way she's even close to Des Moines because she was just in Indiana ten minutes ago and Des Moines is about 5 hours from here... So I ask her for a mile marker number...

She gives me the mile marker number and I gave her directions to get to our house.... :steering:

There's a sign on I-80 shortly after you cross into Illinois from Indiana saying I-80 Des Moines, which means that's the way to go to Des Moines, but not that you are IN DES MOINES!!! She's one of those spastics that worry about everything...

So now that's one of our sayings... "I'm in Des Moines!!!" :lol:
