Be there or be square. Don't forget to bring a sharpie. We need to sign Bob's truck. I'm bringing a rattle can of day-glo pink to sign my name down the side of his fender.

I think Shari is going to have dinner with us this evening. We like that place, she's eaten there twice already this month with friends.
See y'all tonight.

www.smorr.net I know one of the owners of this place, and we used to go out there quite a bit. Can't wait to go play in the mud again.
This is from our first run through the new pit, so we took it a little slower. This is from Feb 19th, 2011. Cold and windy Southern Missouri weather.
But here's what Ka'Bluey used to look like. And will again.

Well fellers looks like I will be entertaining a pretty young lady instead of coming to the dinner. Neither of us like Mexican food so I think we are gonna hit a local steakhouse. I am glad Dustin gave me a shout because I completely forgot about the FTE dinner. I guess she has had me wrapped around her finger for a couple of weeks now. Sorry I am gonna miss out again. You guys be careful and have a good laugh for me.

If we can do another dinner someplace near than I'll bring Ka'Bluey out so you (Willie) and anybody else that wants to autograph his dash, can. I'm really looking forward for you all to see my toy before I ship him back to Missouri in the next few months.

He can't come out to dinner with us. Then what? No more motorbikes? Then she'll have him bathing more then once a week.

Face it group, we've lost our brother. I shall mourn for him.

It was good to see all that could make it to dinner this evening, and to get Ka'Bluey's dash signed.
Ka'Bluey will eventually get painted inside and out, back to a metallic blue. This dash that was signed by several Missouri chapter FTE members, as well is our North Carolina chapter, and various friends back home will not be painted over.
This dash is coming out of the truck (I have 2 more lined up to go back in Ka'Bluey). This dash will be hung on the wall of my next garage. I'm hooking up a 110 volt ac, to 12 volt dc power converter to the ignition switch. When the key is turned to ACC or Run, it will light up the instrument cluster that will have LED light for all of the gauges, also LED lights for the temp and vent selector, and it will power a stereo that will go in the dash.
Thanks everybody for doing this for me.
It's going to be something that is vary special to me and my family.
Unk Bob
