Now Dave that sounds like a campfire story especially since your wife will never know you told us, you know we can keep a secret, right.

Got the F-2 washed and RainX applied this morning. Last night the idiot weatherman said we might have a slight chance of running into light rain. It's been raining all morning.

On our way out the door now, first stop Cary and then onto Normal.

See you tonight.

Truckfest is underway! Dave, Stu, Larry and Pat are here. Another truck event has begun and we are doing the same thing... Waiting for Bob! He must like dramatic entrances. We'll update when he arrives. Stay tuned!

Actually we're sitting around telling Bob stories. I'm holding my own, I've known him longer than most. Stu

Hey Truckfesters,

We got into Bloomington around 9pm tonight. Will see you guys in the morning. Lost Reverse and 1st gear in the ole' Warner T (probably linkage but the monsoon we drove through didn't allow for looking), so 2-3 are the going gears today! I always lose things in Indiana. See you in the morning.

We had a good first day of Truckfest. I was glad to see Bob, Chris and their wives roll in before dark. We are ready to go for the big day tomorrow. We'll have lots of food, fellowship and of course TRUCKS!!! With any luck maybe mine will run this weekend. More reports tomorrow...

So far so good. Just wish the F-2 would start a little.easier. I'm ready getting heat for that. Davewas kind enough to offer to tow with his seater but I declined the offer in advance. No way in the world am I going to be able.to live.that down. As long as I can find a slight incline, which isn't all that easy here in Flatland, I'll get started. It was running and starting fine back home so figure it just was getting a little hot from the long drive. Its not used to driving at 50+ mph for extended periods of time.

Doc, wish you, and everyone who wanted to come were here. Rob has really nice set up. Very cool family museum/man cave.

For you who have been following Dave's thoughts on women and their place society, I have say he's got guts. He has been continuing on the same course in person. Last night was rather short and the women were tired. Today they are going be fresh and more of them. Hopefully he'll survive.
