That is awesome @Slingshot Garage!
If it's all 5 or 6, that's over $300K dollars worth of vehicles that your (now because of the turbo upgrade) $30K vehicle outshines...
Clearly you are not talking Canadian dollars - lol!
So poll: if you got this wonderful toy, then the shopping spree at the turbo shop, and the wonderful adventure... Would you let your wife get chickens? And would you go for family walks with them? Or how about those little miniature goats? 
Brought in some help at the RV park so the guys won't be overwhelmed with work when they get back. The whole park is almost mowed, the pootine is being looked after and your littlest fella is finally breathing better so he's headed to soccer for the first time since you left. Enjoy your trip home- the only work you'll have to do this week is take the kids on a trailer ride. And love your rediculous cat I suppose- it's stalking me as I'm working on the grounds!
I love you muffin! Xoxo
Prayer warriors:
A life-threatening storm has hit Rapid city. Vehicles are flying around like popsicle sticks. Mark and Izak are safe, in the hotel basement but the poor sling is outside in a parking lot, at the mercy of 100 kmh winds and softball side hail. Please pray for safety of the sling!
Xoxoxoxo
This is what courage, tenacity, freedom from addiction, love for your son, overcoming a disability, hard work, selflessness and the willingness to push through physical pain and fear look like.
They made it.
Mark's dream come true. Never has a man being so loved, never has a wife been more proud.
Victory ride!
Hey my loves- you had better soak up that sun while you get a chance. We're dropping below zero tonight and what you're coming home to Canada remember?
Little known fact... This pic was taken a few months ago... And that is indeed the kilt in question. 
Love u little fella!
Those boys are pretty down and needing encouragement. Talking about coming home already, because they need the mana. I don't want these guys to miss out on this once and a lifetime experience. Mark has already Regretted this before. If there's anyone out there in the area between where they are or along the way- please go meet up with them. Or shoot them a text message - TO Keep Riding, that they got this!
Best. Thread. Ever. 
And for the record, he shamed me into wearing panties- never was a fan. The slingshot purchase was an exchange for my freedom!!!.
I mean, geez, you gotta give the lady boss a breeze...
Rotflmao! 18. Which is a legal adult in Canada btw. She's 19 on Saturday which may make her legal in some states? At that age she's still trainable. Ask Mark, he knows- that's when he met me! (And to add to his dirty old man status, he was my BOSS! Some girls will do anything to get a raise 
Please tell me you have an older sister who is single!!! You are a...
You're too kind! I'm the oldest, but I have a younger sister kicking around. You could always rob the cradle like Mark did! 
Honey, you're only 2/3 through your adventure. Don't lose heart and miss out on Sturgis And Mount Rushmore AGAIN. I know you doubt my methods, but vodka really does cure everything. Some campers here brought some Stars and Stripes vodka from the US- I tried it and it's fan frickin tastic. And apparently only $7 a bottle?!?!??? That would be $30 here. So you got delayed a bit- that's just God extending the only vacation you have had in almost 20 years, obviously you need more time.
I am so proud of you for standing up and having the guts to talk about being autistic, you always said that you never wanted anyone to know. I am so amazed that you are doing things, handling situations that you never thought you could, with an autistic child leaning on you too. I'm in awe that you're finding the strength and courage that I always knew you had! Despite your spine literally crumbling away, you have worked so hard, in immense pain, for our family, three jobs, seven days a week for 15 years, with nothing in return. I don't know anyone as selfless, loyal and giving. You've battled your biggest demon- and you've won. Enjoy your victory ride my love!
(But don't expect anything for Father's Day. Like seriously.)
Don't worry about things here, I'm working really hard, keeping the grounds up!
One other thing you don't see in Canada. You can watch TV while your filling up with gas.
Mind blown again lol.
I can't believe that's actually a thing! Tv at a gas pump? I think I would rather have someone pump the gas for me instead. And make me coffee. This making my own coffee thing is getting old. Manservant coffee tastes waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better. After all this fooling around, and extra shopping that has occurred at Alpha, there had better be awesome coffee delivered to me in bed. Some other gratitude delivered to my bed would also be appreciated... 
It was months ago Izak came to me at the supper table and said dad dad check this out. Someone put a v8 in a slingshot. And here he is sitting in that very slingshot. Got to start it and feel the power himself. He's been talking about it ever since couple of hours now. I'm sure he's texted all his friends by now to tell them. Dream come true for my little feller for sure.
so happy and excited for you guys! Xoxo. Have fun my loves! Xoxo 
Here's Henry and his group and a few of the slingshots thier working on. When we go back tomorrow were going to watch my sling getting ripped apart for a while. Which they have absolutely no problem with. Then Henry is going to let us borrow his again. He's going to draw me some maps of the roads around the shop so we can go touring around. How cool is that customer service oriented for sure. I may not want to leave lol.
So cool that you posted a pic of the shop! That's awesome!
Best dogs ever!
Display MoreWell, @MBMedic has a new hitch on his SS on his way back to his wife at the hotel and can continue his trip home tomorrow!
@Turbosling, Henry! I'll be bringing by the hitch this week.
Was great to meet you and talk about our adventures.
@SundreSlingQueen it's possible that could happen. I'm not close to downtown Minneapolis, but we might be able to find a spot to meet up.
That would be awesome sauce. They are headed to Minneapolis tomorrow, then possibly stillwater, then to Henry on Tuesday. The sling will be in the shop getting tuned and the boys will be looking for friends! 
If there's anyone in this group that will be in and or around Minneapolis tomorrow through Wednesday, there are two Canadian boys that would LOVE to meet up with you! Check out the thread- My trip to Alpha or send a pm to @Slingshot Garage and hopefully you can meet up!
Nice! So the trip back home should take half the time with the new turbo but cost twice as much with all the tickets...
rotflmao. It had better not. When Mark first got the turbo SRT 4, he got so many tickets in the first month, the insurance company refused to insure him anymore! Hopefullynow that he's older, he's also wiser....lol!
They are going to take their time coming home, touring through crazy horse, sturgis, mount rushmore, whatever else is fun down there, hoping to meet up with some of you guys along the way. Even if you can't meet up, feel free to shoot him an encouraging text to: 403 869 1099 , it will make his day! Around these parts, I've got my loyal staff here to keep the campground running smoothly
Their appointment @Turbosling is for Tuesday morning. They will find a hotel nearby on Monday night, get Turbo installed Tuesday, road test Wednesday and then probably head for Sioux Falls. Unless, of course, they are too busy driving around the V8
