FINALLY getting a 4 day weekend that I can have my Excursion project out of service for a few days.
I am gutting the interior, all seats and trim panels and most of the carpet for a complete electronics package install. New speakers, touchscreen nav system, subwoofer, back up camera, full time 4G data connection, rear seat entertainment and other items.
All hidden or OEM install. Then a VERY through cleaning, touch up etc of each piece before its reinstalled in the vehicle. Will also be updating a few trim parts to later year upgrades that I have been stock piling from ebay....Oh and new leather on the driver and passenger front seats. Essentially bringing the entire interior back to new condition.
IF WE GET THE BIKE BACK FROM THE DEALER (replacing throttle body) we are traveling with a group of biker friends from our Christian Motorcyclists Association local chapter. Ryding from Warsaw, IN to Madison, IN, a town on the Ohio River. We will take back roads getting there and back roads getting home. We will find a local Memorial Day service to show our respect and remembrance.
Here's a little info about Madison (from Wikipedia):
Madison has a powerboat racing tradition dating back to at least 1911. In 1929, the city began holding an annual race, later called the Madison Regatta beginning in 1948. Since 1954, the Madison Regatta has held a high points Unlimited hydroplane race annually in early July. Although Madison has a population of only 12,000, the Regatta maintains its place in Unlimited Hydroplane racing hosting an Air National Guard H1 Unlimited Series race, whose other events are in Detroit, Seattle, San Diego, Evansville, and Tri-Cities, Washington. The Madison Regatta draws about 70,000–100,000 people annually and is held on July 4 weekend. A week-long riverfront festival also surrounds this racing event. Other attractions include Clifty Falls State Park, Lanier Mansion, Lanthier Winery, and the Rockin Thunder Jet Boat rides.
what day will you arrive in Madison ? about 1 hour north of me , hoping to get a group ride together , if not, will ride any way , we usually end up in Madison , it is a great little spot too drive too !

Not sure about Saturday and Sunday ... but Monday, we will ride over to Scotland, TX for their morning Memorial Day Honors. After that, we head to Windthorst, TX for another set of Memorial Day Honors. At both locations, the bikes are staged about 1/2 mile away and we ride in just before the ceremony, then stand a flag line. This is all set up by the American Legion Post 202, American Legion Riders, out of Wichita Falls -- they work with the local VFW to put both ceremonies together.
The following Thursday, June 1st, we have an Honor Flight Escort from Wichita Falls. These are SO much fun! I think the veterans for this flight are Korean War Vets .... no matter, just to be in the presence of such greatness is a true honor. The local LEOs really turn out for this one as well; so we have full LEO escort and usually 20 to 30 bikes (many, like my husband, fly big flags). It is AMAZING! I have yet to complete one of these without tears in my eyes ... but it is such a high honor, I would not miss it!
Whatever you do this weekend, please remember to Honor our Fallen Heroes -- that is what Memorial Day is all about.
All the best .... Ann
