Dusty's truck show filled up, when we walked over there it was I think 5 rows and each row had probably 35-40 trucks in it. The classic car show was a lot smaller I think those guys had probably 65-70 total, I forgot to ask before I left. My truck won "Ugly Truck Contest" and I got a big *** trophy!
On a side, I just want to say I am thankful that I am not responsible for keeping Josh fed, the boy has got an appetite

Wait. When did that truck in the background show up? I don't remember seeing it when I was there.
Wish I could have stayed longer but I got home just in time to take a nap, and tidy up a bit before my Mum came over to spend the night. I cooked a roast last night for her, and I'm about to fry up some bacon and eggs, and maybe some hash, if I have it.
Whats everyone's schedule like the next couple of Weeks? Thinking 17 or 18, 24 or 25 for the FTE dinner. City BBQ in Garner. Then we can start traveling east and west, north and south again for Dinner. Figure we need to get out to see Tony, Larry, Matt, and Sparky, plus the rest of the outliers. I know traveling distances will be easier once James has the Buell back up and riding. My goal after the one ton is to get the 919 going to use for dinner runs around the state.

Josh that truck was there before I got there, it was there all day. But he was on the other side of the orange cones in the parking area, not the show area. No idea why! Why would you have a 1930-ish Model A truck and not show it off?
Dave I didn't have to make it shiny but brother I cleaned for 4 hours. And even then I still I didn't get a chance to wipe down the black mildew crap from the door jambs. I really need to start cleaning the truck more than once per year

I'll be out of town starting tomorrow (18th) and coming back into town Saturday the 27th. So I may miss this months dinner. But if I do then I am going to make Sherry take me to City BBQ for Fathers Day, fair is fair and I think if everyone gets to go I should too!

I'm posting here mostly to get subscribed to this thread. Maybe I can shoot for the June dinner. Sounds like it'd be a lot of fun. Wednesday nights are band practice nights for me, so I know this week will be a no-go for me. I am, however, planning to travel to Concord on Thursday for the 1st annual Ford Performance Fan Day, so I guess I've got that going for me

Hey James, We put the offer out to sparky and the same offer goes for you. We'll bring the dinner closer to yall next month.
We'll find a place that's not to far for everyone and a date that works (not Wednesday).
Briggs BBQ in Yancyville would work. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaura..._Carolina.html
Other suggestions?
Alright cue crew we're headed North in June.
