Well, sorry to say that as of right now, I won't be making it down to RRE this year. On Friday of this week my wife's mother is having a second surgery to remove some cancer from her arm that they didn't get all of a couple weeks ago, and as of today, there is a concern that it may have spread. There will be biopsies done Friday and we will not have the results from those until the following Friday which is the 18th. Hopefully everything will come back clean and things will be good, but if it doesn't, I need to be here for my wife. My Dad passed away four years ago with cancer and my wife quit working and stayed home to take care of him every single day for the last four years he lived, so there is no way I won't be by her side when she may possibly be starting that whole thing over again with her mother. I hate that I'm not gonna be able to make it because I was really looking forward to seeing everyone again, but my priority right now is to be here, so everyone be safe in your travels and have a great time, and if the good Lord is willing and the creeks don't rise, I'll see you all next year.

I have to ask the wife what we will be bringing to the potluck. Most like a potato casserole or something easy in a crockpot.

Bill, I'm really really sorry you won't be making it this year, but I definitely can sympathize with the position you're in. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. And who knows, if the bill of health comes back all clean, maybe you can come down for the day on Saturday and convoy back with us on Sunday. Either way, I'm still looking forward to Wednesday night at the "Rebilld Ranch".

Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers guys......means a lot. We are really hoping that this turns out to be nothing, and I think it will, but if it doesn't, my wife is gonna need me here, and I want to be here for her. I'll try it again next year I guess. Maybe that will give me enough time get my truck ready! LOL!!
