Looking like we should be good for the 8th. Now the head count starts.

I'm at 2, and the puppy.

I actually think we should just do a GTG at the park again. it was a good time, grilled out and chilled. Then the wives can be involved more too. Keli mentioned she didn't really want to go if we were going to be working on trucks the whole day.

So maybe, grill out, bring a dish to pass. chairs to sit around and chat. Beverage of Choice, table settings. bring the kids and the pets. there was a play ground close by, lots to do. I can bring a ladder ball set.

We can plan a working GTG sometime as well, but we haven't gotten together as a group in over a year, so lets see how many we can get out to have a nice day.

Mrs. Elwood says that we don't have any plans. Which I take to mean that I can either host/attend a gtg.

This place / you guys mean a lot to me - And I'm with Rich, the park seems like a central area. I am happy to host, but, maybe we should plan that more in advance or something. Either way, see you on the 8th! (Yes, that is a commitment.)

If I am not already on my way with the TT, I'll be there. I talked to Hallas Performance about getting gaskets, etc done and it seems the rocker boxes are on national backorder until August. Awesome.
