I almost feel like Texas boys are exempt from the stack talk. Texas is on a different planet with the diesel scene. Plus Travis is a good dude, I'm not gonna hate...

That's because my stack is freaking awesome.

Next time you're in Texas, bring your grenade. I'll give you a fair chance before I take off. If you can keep up long enough to get the grenade in the bed, I'll be ok with it going up in flames. LOL

Well, off to TN this morning to get the bed. I'm hoping it still has the fuel filler hoses on it. No big deal if it doesn't, I can make some.

We made it home fine Kevin! We got here about 7:30. Thanks for posting those pics! I took a couple when I got home, but it was dark. I don't have to worry about posting those now. It was great to sit down and have lunch with you guys today. Wish we could have hung out longer, but we'll have the whole weekend at RRE! I think our wives will hit it off pretty good too!
