Then we were on the road again to California!!!

    V-22 Osprey is the aircraft you came across. I’m surprised they let you drive around them.

    The cool thing is, as busy as Matt is what does he always take time for? His sons and any of their problems! Absolutely awesome!!

    8bucks a gallon is another very good reason not to go to California 😅

    When I was growing up in the sixties and seventies, we had a neighbor that had a Corvair. I asked my dad why it always had legs sticking out from underneath it, he said they came that way from the factory. 😂

    I love how Rudy describes it as a quick fix, that only involved a complete engine out.

    When I was growing up my mothers car was a 61 Corvair Lakewood station wagon, with 4 on the floor, in the same green color. My father was a former Navy aircraft mechanic so he kept it running great. My sister and I both learned to drive in that car before we bought our own. I still remember the engine oil smell when you turned on the heat.. So.... throughout the sixties once a week mom would put a dollars worth of gas in it...... that was about a quarter to a third of a tank back then and that would last the whole week of errands.. In the early 70's once mom splurged and filled it up. to the top...... on the way home there was a funny metalic boink, boink, boink sound coming from the front...... We finally tracked the sound down by rocking the car in the driveway and it was the brass fuel gauge float boinking off the top of the gas tank.... someplace it had never been for the previous 10 years mom owned it. Lots of good memories watching this.

    Matt dives in when his son needs him.❤ He makes sure to solve Rudys problems so that he can enjoy. As rhey say 1 father can takecare of 10kids but 10kids cannot takecare of 1 father, thats the fathers love for his kids.❤

    The aircraft looked like V-22 Osprey. I live in north San Diego county not far from Camp Pendleton and hear them fly over from time to time - make a very distinctive sound. I believe the Marines are the only branch using them. There's a training center near 29 Palms.
