I stopped in boston for the night. pulling into my spot on Burlington ave. close to fenway park and settled down for much needed sleep. In the morning i awoke and fired up the rgm and headed north.I made a stop in salem at the salem diner and had breakfast. i knew this was the meeting spot of johnny Pesky’s crew and was hoping to meetup with Johnny.But he had allready flown south to Florida for the winter. So i headed north to maine to visit hadlock feild home of the Seadogs the red sox farm league team and stop at the maine medical Center. I dropped of red Sox nation armbands at the hospital for the kids. but it was to cold for them to come outside so i drove over to my next stop at Hadlock Feild were the kids could see me from there rooms
Pulling into there parking lot i was greeted by one of the workers of the sovenier store who traded with me a brick from fenway for a brick from hadlock feild. he was nice enough to give me a tour of the feild .and luckily i had no accidents in the parking lot lol.Went on my way an saw an old church and stopped to take pictures.it was my lucky day as a home school group was having lunch. they all came out to take a look.I handed out armbands and pieces of brick. and then i headed to Poland Springs to find the source.
Pulled into poland springs and found the source but was the only one there. took some pictures and then headed west to meetup with my friend Pat in Burlington Vermont..The snow started to fall as I took a wrong turn and didn’t realize it till i saw signs that were directing me to the Canadian border turning around I got stuck in a snow bank the first of many and and as it was late i waited till morning to flag down a passing auto who gave me a ride into town I had to be pulled out by a tow truck and the driver was real nice and only charged me 30 dollars and sent me on my way.. arrived at Pats house a few hours later .Spent the night in Pats as it was frezzin outside ,and in the morning headed over to Nesters a red sox bar in downtown Burlington. had a little luck raising money for my trip but in going back to pats the rgm stalled on a hill and had to be towed again. $200.00 In leaving Burlington i wondered if i should just give up and forget this tour ,but the looks on kids faces when they saw the rgm convinced me to push on .
i arrived in concord New hampshire and promtley got stuck in a snow bank. the tow truck driver came pulled me out and directed me to the state house parked near the state house and went to sleep in the morning i went in to tour the state house and they were getting ready to have some kind of ceromony so i stayed and watched my luck i got to meet Govenor Lynch and gave him a brick from Fenway Park.

Headed south back thru Massachusetts and stopped at U Mass and meet some sox fans .got a call from a sawxhead buddy an he had set up a radio interview for the next morning .I drove to the radio station and plugged the rgm in and went to sleep .in the Morning i was woken up by a guy wearing yankee gear but he was ok and took me in to meet bax and obrien the radio talk show guys.had a good time on the radio and headed south to meetup with Chris Wertz the RSN govenor of New York but never made it there .As i was driving down 95 the wheels flew off the back of the rgm and passed me .

Well there go the wheels . i was lucky i was able to pull over ,with no other damage A tow truck arrived and took me to Bridgeport Connecticut

On arriving at the Gas Station the first thing I did was pay the towing bill. I was very stressed out and it was cold out ,I didn’t know what to do. Luckily my Insurance company approved a tow to Stony Creek Virginia, were I knew a mechanic that might help me out .
I called Chester Carter from Carters One Stop In Stony Creek Virginia to tell him my problem and he said as soon as the insurance company paid for the tow he would be on his way I spent my time at Beverly pizza shop down the street. the food wasn’t bad but the counter attendent was a nonstop talker. Finaly after three cold nights with no heat in the rgm and having to listen to beverly pizza’s non stop talker chester arrived. hooking up the rgm to his tow truck we were on our way to virginia on the way to Carters the tow truck was having problems luckily chester was able to fix it and we arrived at carters in the early morning hours.getting the rgm was the next thing on my list and i used my laptop to search for a rear end that would work.I found one in Georgia but chester said he could find one at a better price.
We worked out a deal were i would help around the shop and my food bill at the restaurant he had there and some of the labor for repairs would be deducted. well i spent alot of time on my laptop trying to figure out what i was going to do next .but was always avalible to do work . my friend pat came from Vermont and stopped by on his way to North carolina to visit a friend and he set up a web site for chester in erxchange for a new catilitic converter for his car.I also worked on chesters web site for about 20 hours.It turned out after three weeks that chester couldn’t find a rear end so he took one of a junk camper he had in his auto graveyard

may carter sets up new year buffet

well we had a little party for new years eve my birthday one of the girls made a little cake for me and we celebrated the new year with a big buffet that was put together by may carter chesters mom a nicer person you couldn’t have found .A few days later he gave me a bill for 1,500 dollars which included 100 dollars for food. i questioned him about this and he told me i ate to much. I had no choice but to pay him he knew i was low on cash an offered to take a couple hundred off for my flat screen tv . As i was stuck between a rock and a hard place iIrelented and sold him the tv and was on my way.As i left chester advised me to take it easy on the brakes and make sure i had plenty of space to stop as it was a old camper.
I left carters and made my way to South Boston Virginia.

As soon as I saw her I knew she was mine. I was excited as i left the lot driving Caroline my rolling green monster. Of course she was not green and she was far from a monster but oh well that would come .The first night I ended up at my friend Scott’s house . He was the one that found Caroline during one of his many trips around Sullivan county working as a convertible bed salesman.

In the morning i awoke and headed for Fenway Park ,Carolines new home.Well I knew she had to be green so i took some chips of paint that had fallen off the green monster and took them to Home Depot.Arriving back on Lansdowne street I started to paint it didn’t take long before I had help from fans walkin by.And before I knew it caroline was green .My next stop was Blik to pick up stencils.Stencils in hand I returned the next day and thru most of the summer painting and repainting parts I was not pleased with . During the summer I did some street preforming to earn money I had a box that I would stand in so i looked like a midget makin tips before games playin little dustin, a policeman came up to me while I was doing my routine and ordered me off the corner so I moved down the street. About a half hour later he was back telling me my vehicle was being towed .

Finding the rgm gone i went to bail her out but they wouldnt release her except to a tow truck so mike sent one and the rgm went back to mikes for repairs after repairs i drove back to fenway to park and in the morning had a ticket for no inspection sticker on my window.so i went to get inspected and failed . It was getting dark and the rgm was acting funny so I pulled into Duff Spring in Medford something that I would live to regret.In the morning I meet Frank Duff and explained my circumstances to him .He told me not to worry before i left Caroline would be in tip top shape.Frank put me to work to take my mind of my troubles and for the next month i swepped and painted and helped out around the shop.during this time the rgm sat out front .with me painting it in my free time to reflect where we were in the playoffs. Thanks to Frank i was able to go down to Lansdowne st. and camp out for tickets. With a loss to the Rays the sox season was over and things started to go downhill at Duff Spring.I didn’t get along with Todd one of Franks workers ,and with the death of Franks mother in law. are arguing was more than Frank could handle. so i was asked to hit the road.not only was no work done on the rgm but i was handed a bill for close to a thousand dollars for storage.and a check for a couple of hundred dollars since I did do work there .Well back to mikes were he put on a new exhaust system and fixed the brakes.
Then it was to Middleboro my home town to get inspected and as luck would have it be in the Christmas parade. Then it was off to McCoy stadium and the first of many accidents.it seems when stadium auto body towed it they broke park.. when I was in the park Caroline rolled into another vehicle.well information was exchanged and nobody was hurt and I went my way and headed up to Maine to continue my tour
