It will probably be closer to 6:30.
Lee is going to meet us there. He's either bringing his uncle or going to visit him cant remember.
I'll have a few guys with me. Hope we don't run into any scalawags on the way up or back.
John said he was coming with his cousin and could have a few more from another group join.
Hopefully Bob, Marty, and Dustin are coming.
Tony said he was manning up and coming all the way from Taylorsville.
And we might have a new guy from Greensboro join us from a bike group.

Hope they are ready for us. Wonder if I should call and warn them.

Me and Don will be there, but I got absolutely no comments on my invite I posted on the Classic Ford trucks of the Carolina's facebook page, so I guess none of those guys are planning to come out.

That was some good old fashioned thunderstorms. Haven't seen rain fall that hard in years around here. It was great seeing everyone and meeting the new folks.

Be Good!

It rained so hard around Statesville that traffic on I40 slowed to 35 mph.

We had some rain on our drive back east as well. I did get to see my RainX do it's thing. I didn't even have my wipers turned on while we were on the hiway. Love that stuff.
Sure was good to see our group yesterday, and meet a new member, and a sweet dent side that has been in the family since new.

Looks like everyone made it home in that storm, that's good to hear. We hit a detour for what could only be a pretty bad wreck. We now have Short Sugars marked off the list.

Glad everyone could make it. Always a good time. Thanks to everyone for making the effort.


We had some navigational issues on the way there and back. And as much as I enjoy riding the bike I'm equally enjoying driving with friends. I think we each saw parts of the state we haven't previously.


Looks like there's a good group ready to go support Larry next month and we will merge that with next months dinner. So dinner in Hubert in July. We'll head south in August.

Well, since I think most if not all folks bagged the mud bog. Should we fit in a dinner this month?

I can do this Wednesday the 20th or next Wednesday or Thursday 27th or 28th.

Since some are planning on going back to the mudbog in August should we head south to complete our circle of cue?

What about this place:

Cape Fear BBQ. It's in the books and on the bbq trail lists.

Open to suggestions for location and places.
