Wurth Trucking. Wow Beason, now thats a happenin town there, lol.

Yeah weather isn't a big factor for me, other than my yard is 100% mud at the moment do to landscaping projects that didn't get finished last fall. I have plenty of parking however across the road that is grass. I need to finish my deck so we have a place to BBQ and sit.

How does April 12th or April 26th sound? I have posted on Ramchargercentral.com for some of those guys to come and join us. They have been itching to meet up also.

One fellow on that board mentioned he would like a welding demo, since he has never welded. I told him I would be more than happy to give a demo and let people try their hand at either mig or arc.

So lets hear some other date ideas if mine will not work for you. Also any ideas of stuff we can do besides drink beer and eat as some may not be of legal age to partake in drinking beer all afternoon.

Also I hope to have my basement further along by then so I will have plenty of indoor meeting room in case the weather turns shitty.

For the off-road guys in the group we can always make a trip down Mudd Mile to stretch out trucks legs a little.

Lets try these dates.

That is along way off for me to be sure but it sounds fine. It should be good weather to let the trucks rip.

Just thought of something. How many of you would be intrested in seeing a demo of FLITZ. I know everyone has seen it on TV. However dad worked for a local rep a while back. He does all the major motorcycle shows in the country. I would probably be able to have him come do a demo and pass out some free polishes. I don't know how many in the crowd are into detailing their rigs. Its just an idea I'm throwing out there.

Also I have a member over on Cumminsforums.com that I have ben chating to about Bio Diesel. I thought maybe he would be intrested in schooling us all on that. I know its something I want to learn more about.

These are just some ideas of stuff to do. Let me know what ya'll think before I post up a new thread for the meet.
