      I will probably have to give him my send off a little early........ I am definitely going to harass him while in town for my family reunion....

      If just we three XS's show up that'd make 9 in attendance anyway!!!

          Hobbyman send off

          Great Idea. Last hurah for youth. Not sure if I can make that ride, Previous committm,ent first half of june.

          Andrew will do fine where ever he goes. That "can do" attitude will serve him well.

          CU on the road. I really did enjoy riding, Wrenching & yacking with y'all. This time olf year I work. Some of you understand,

          Happy motoring,

              Brent... you are welcome ANYtime...

              exquized1... one of these days you'll make it... We plan on being here awhile... Maybe we should start making plans now for HobbyMan's graduation party from the MMA?

              See everyone soon!
              (we'll be getting a few more of the details set in the next couple of weeks... Wow! Just realized that it isn't THAT far away... )

                  Need some input...

                  John will have to trade days off somehow... SOOOOOO... I need to get an idea of when everyone can make a ride... either Saturday morning or Sunday morning... I still plan on burning meat Saturday afternoon before the car show... but the ride can go on either day...
                  Input please... when can everyone make it in?
                  If everyone comes in Friday we can ride Saturday... otherwise... Sunday morning...

                    I have been out on the lake for the past 3 days. No, I wasn't having fun. Well, maby a little. THanks Kat for doing most of this. I guess we will get to do more because we won't be rebuilding Tod's engine. I hope to see a lot of XSesives before I go.

                      Don't everyone jump in here at once...


                      (So I just posted that yesterday... I'm anxious )
                      Okay... so I'm thinking Saturday afternoon BBQ around 3 - 3:30 until whenever... Saturday evening car show (5pm-9pm are the times that evening)... Sunday morning ride (approximately 70 - 100 miles or so) then whatever happens from there... happens...

                      You know me HobbyMan... always ready to stick my nose in the middle of something
                      Seriously... it's my pleasure...

                      You're pretty cool... even if you are annoyingly intelligent...

                      I guess we will get to do more because we won't be rebuilding Tod's engine.
                      Or will we?

                              it's kind of like cleaning house... and I don't do that much right now either...

                              Next week... both will be clean... but for now... I'll settle for the box... which is sort of cleaned out...
