Thanks for the link Dan, I will have him scour the internet for one.

My brother started tailgating at midnight for the blast, he being a Professional Pyro enjoyed it A LOT. I will have to locate it on the net.

Shocked that you guys could hear it that far away.... and if it was that loud, surprised they would wake so many people at 07:00??

I just saw it on TV (FOX News)and it sounded fairly subdued, with all the charges on the buildings inside.

Thanx for the link Robert.

I think I liked the aerial view the most.

I went and checked his truck out before we ordered a new turbo for it.... Turns out it was a simple boost leak going into the IC. He bought me lunch

I guess we're on hold for now. Not drawing much interest and no dates being thrown out.

I wouldn't put anything on hold for my schedule. I won't be flying back to the US till 4/30. If we meet that weekend, I might be able to make an appearance, but wouldn't be staying long as it would be my first weekend at home in a month and plans would have to be approved through my currently lonely wife.

As for the rest of May, I think we've got something on calendar for every weekend through the middle of June.

Well Jana and I have been doing some work on the patio. We have a new "Texas" themed fire pit im itching to show off and try out.

So anybody that wants to come to our house on May 1st for a Get Together, we would love to have you. Justin, Bring the wife! You won't be ignoring her if you bring her to a party.. The wives can sit around, enjoy the day while we talk or look at trucks or do some light wrenching.

I will mow the back field behind my house like before.....on Aug. 8th, for parking the trucks. This meet will be much better because it won't be 105 degrees.

We can start from say noon on and run into the late evening is fine with us.

So who all is coming? Saturday, May 1st, My house in McKinney, Noon till midnight or anywhere in between.

1. Robert and Jana (maybe the kiddos Jared and Haley)
2. ??
3. ??
