Well seeing as how no of us can decide on what we want, how bout we just pick up some cases. There's a store about 5 mins from my place and they definately aren't dry. Yall are actually gonna pass it on the way in. It's at the corner of 723 and 359. It's a shell station.

Went to get my truck aligned this morning and I have two bad tie rods. Sorry SOB's wanted $388 for parts and labor just to swap the tie rods. Not even to align it. I laughed and walked out. For both of them at o'reilly's I'm looking at $90 for parts. What a crock. We'd be doing those but nobody's got em.

It is now. Some knothead filled my server up with 150 megs of SPAM email and clogged the email up so bad it would not work.

Try me now dude.

I heard the DI party starts around noon time and ends whenever. I'm planning to be there around 5 or so.

I'm sure we'll be milling around, but will be close to the ODRA tent at times. If Micah is there, ask him where Charlie from DTR is. I'll tell him there may be some folks looking for us.

I guess you could always make a sign, like at the airpot, that says "LA DTR" and carry it around.

From what I've been reading about the keg, I may just have to look down while walking around.
Oh, about the dyno, I would like to try my truck. I assume they start early Saturday morning.
Thanks for the info,
Gene
