As far as I know I am going. I hope to be able to drive the ole truck down and stretch her legs and see how it does on the Big road. So far it has done great. Just getting some of the parts on her that the last owner didn't know how to diagnose but I am making some good progress. Threw a can of freon in it yesterday and there is a chance for some A/C. See everybody tomorrow as long as the ole girl makes the trip. Lol.

I'm planning on making it out for dinner. I may take the wife's car to Josh's and ride out with him. By the way....I hate my wife's 08 Escape. And Ka'Bluey was ticking pretty good yesterday. I know the oil level is good, and it's clean.
We'll see what happens

The new guy backed out. Said he had to work late. I haven't heard from Lee so now he's doubtful.
I'm going to try and leave work a little early to beat some of the traffic. I should be there around 6.
Haven't heard from John but he said he was going to try and make it.

Good picture John. well glad to report the ole truck ran like a dream on the way home. hit the cruise control at 75mph and enjoyed the drive. got some good opinions on some of the trucks problems. Had some great food, and spent some good time with great friends. It was great to see everyone and cant wait to do it again. Another great monthly dinner in the books.

Yes sir Tony, But with a $1500 truck any smart person will be weary of getting out the interstate for an hour straight in 100 degree heat. First time stretching her legs so to speak. Glad to say she did as expected, She has some problems but with time all will be addressed. Besides we do have a good size group here to help out with the troubleshooting. Well its about time to hit the timeclock. Stay cool if you can.

It's always a good time seeing everybody, and *****'s new toy, and we found out during dinner that the insurance company has totaled out my 2011, so now I can get the ball rolling towards my next ride.

Food was really good. Not sure they had enough items on the Buffet though.
It was good to see Lee. Too bad our new guy couldn't make it and the folks from Fayetteville didn't show.
WP the truck is sweet. Glad she held up for the ride there and back. I'm sure as soon as this heat dies down you'll have her running like a top. And I'm sure you'll enjoy modifying the bed for camping.
Glad to see all our core Cue crew in attendance. I never saw Lee pulled over on the way back so he must have gave em the slip.
Next Month Hubert 2nd try. August 13th. Jumping Run Creek Mud Bog | 19th Season of Family Fun!
September is 2nd annual NCFTE BBQ Jam
October is Fall Fling BBQ and Campout
