That's right , eat more beef !!!!

Ive had a bunch more people send me their info. I just don't know whats going to happen considering how this has started out.

Ive also had a few people opt out because of some of the comments when we were having problems finding Monroe. People that I was really looking forward to playing along ... kinda bummed me out, but I get it.

You can email me your info ... You never know what will happen =)

I don't check it that often so don't worry if I don't acknowledge.

Great pics so far NC_John ... thanks!!!

So he was crowing about his excellent diagnostic skills.....hmmmm

"Sir, please don't put the rubber chicken in the race cars." But more about that later.

Monroe enjoyed his second day in the Tarheel today.





We started the day in the garage where he wanted some pictures with Blu for his scrapbook.









We did a bit of work. My suspension was sitting on the bump stops so we pulled the wheels and trimmed them back. Too much it seems. Now the tire is hitting the fender on hard turns.

[NC_John]

After our garage time we cleaned up and headed out for the day.

My son was teaching him how to play minecraft (or whatever it is he is addicted to right now).





We stopped by Mrs. NC_John's work and the two knuckleheads checked out a few new stingrays. Monroe tried to buy the blue one (he said it would help him pick up chicks) but he wasn't approved for financing (and I wouldn't co-sign for him).












From there we headed back out but a warning to anyone who hosts him next- apparently anytime there is a giant chicken, you have to stop for a picture or Monroe flips out.

[NC_John]

Monroe really got excited about our next few stops. Turns out he is a big NASCAR fan so this was right up his alley.





They were running a "driving school" when we were there so we got in to take a look.





Here's a link to a short video of the track

Then after watching the cars for a while (they sounded great but man those people were driving them slow), we went down the street so he could see where speed REALLY lives.





There wasn't anything going on but he still thought it was cool to check out.

[NC_John]

Then he really had some fun.....





Like every other bird out there, he's a Dale Jr. fan so he was pretty excited to see one of his cars.









He ran around that place clucking and checking it all out like it was his own coop.

OMG, Im honestly cracking up here. What a cool adventure. I need to keep track of the kiddos that hang with Monroe. I have surprises to send them.

I really appreciate the time and effort people put in to this!!!!

I forgot to ask, are all the labels, pens, tape, instructions and the other extras still in the box?

Yessir. Looks like all the supplies made it with the man himself, Monroe.

[Ol Blue K20]

I have access (through friends) into the actual race shops and engine shops but I don't want to keep him too long. He's anxious to get to the next host.

The bird decided to help me install a rear bumper on the farm truck today.





He was a little concerned when the pry bar came out to aid in fitting but I assured him that is the norm with Chinese parts.





I needed some stainless bolts for the gravel guards so we stopped short and went out to church (with a visit to Home Depot afterward). After Home Depot we also zipped over to NPD to get some lower control arm bump stops. I was delighted to find that they too were made in the people's land of China and even tore one before I got it installed. Oh joy.





We got the bumper finished off, changed the tag (in case local law enforcement is looking for the Texas truck) and called it a day.

Indeed. He is even starting to cluck with a bit of a drawl.
