I got dibs on,,,,,,,,,,,,,, er,,,, I mean,,,,,,,,,,,, I'll babysit the blue Smurfmobile for ya Chris. Go ahead and drive both trucks up on the 14th and you can leave the Smurfmobile here when ya head back home.

 

Ok I should be going to pick up my 2004.5 this week, so I should be back in town and have it by this weekend for the gathering.

 

Thanks to all for all the kindness. This is nothing new to Leigh Ann or I we have been coming and going for over 20 years now. I have already talked to the folks where we bought her truck to take good care of her truck while I am gone. Thanks for the offers to take care of it.
I asked her to drive my truck once or twice a week. So thanks again.
I truly do appreciate the offers to give us a hand if we need it.

I am somewhat hurt that "NO ONE" wants to take care of the Ford Ranger with that high powered 4 cylinder engine. Or my 87 S10 that has a tranmission that don't what to play anymore .

We are looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend.
See Ya
Chris

 

UPDATE MESSAGE FOR THE 14'th:

Check your mileage before you leave the house. I am going to have a certificate for the least and most travelled mileage and maybe a few others if I can get butchera to help out producing them.
Weather is supposed to be decent for this weekend. Looking forward to the meet.

Joel

 

I'm leaving tonight to fly out of BWI first thing tomorrow (Wednesday). I should be in St Louis by 8am Wednesday. I hope to be back in Richmond late Wednesday/early Thursday. See you all Saturday In my Shiny new truck. -Shawn

 

I make a conscious effort to keep them to a minimum, as they might try to drive a wedge between me and my truck.
I hear they can have a real detrimental affect on bombing funds.


Chris

 

*<Making note to self>*
Remember to print out a copy of this thread to take to meeting on Saturday and give to Chris' "Lady Friend"

 

Good idea Denis, we can present it in front of the crowd too.

 

Since my truck is "between transmissions", is it OK to
come in a vehicle with sp-rk pl-gs???

Bob

 

Bob, I can't make it, so you get there anyway you can, and tell them you are covering for me

We don't care if you show up on roller skates, everybody is always welcome at a DTR chapter function.

Ok guys, Bob is large and in charge!!!!

 

Hey Joel, I haven't forgot about you guys, just lots of other commitments!! My son has a baseball game at college Saturday and therein lies my priority......I miss "meetin' and eatin'" with you good folks.

Chip

 

There will be other meetings, I hardly expect everyone to make every meeting. No problem.

Bob, I have another prospective member that may show up riding spark plugs too so come on down. I was just past Spout Spring Sunday, my son got married out in Bedford.

Come on down.

 

Man! I guess I should join a chapter so I would be better informed about these get-togethers. I just don't check this section very much. I have to work till noon in Alexandria or I'd be there. My sister lives right behind the Virginia Diner back in the woods....

 

Alls ya gotta do is give Dennis or I an e-mail address and we will send you an app form.

Joel

 

Hey Joel,
I'll be bringing another filled out app with me to give to ya today. I'm going to leave work early today so I can make it down to meet with Ya'll. I figure I deserve to get outta here early and a 76 hour work-week has been plenty enough already!
Note: If I start to stare off into space and don't say nothing,,,,,,,,,, just shake me awake as I have become very good at sleeping with my eyes open lately.
