Larry, I wish I could but my Nephew's birthday party is that day, and I should really be there for the family. But since I can't make this week, I'll plan to make it down on another weekend to see the runs. I'm really interested in making it. After all, I may decide to run the old truck one of these days.

I'd still like to make it. But I'm dealing with the mess to the truck while we were in Tennessee. I went ahead and turned a claim into our insurance company, and they will go after the property owner. We still haven't heard anything from them.
Our insurance company is having a tow truck come out today (Still hasn't showed) and pick up my 2011 F150, and take it to a lot in Clayton. They will look at the truck, and determine if it's fixable, or if it's time to go buy another truck.

I'll be there between 3-4. Wife may come but we're trying to work out logistics. We'll be in Aurora that morning for a family lunch. Planning to leave around 2. I think I still have your number. I'll text when I get there.

I don't even trust Ka'Bluey that far, and if I take the wifes car, she is stuck and can't get out. So I guess I'm grounded to local gatherings for the next month or so.

I wasn't able to make it. Well, It was storming so freaking hard I decided not to go. We were in Aurora and it had been raining on and off all morning. Then around 1 the bottom fell out and it must have rained over an inch in an hour. High winds, tons of lightning and thunder. The rest of the afternoon didn't look so good either so I decided not to go. Sorry man.

I'll try to make the 13th.

Hope you had some good runs and didn't break anything.

I ran decent, no breakage. Was a muddy pit with all that rain.

Think I saw that storm. Mary and I were on the way back from my brothers place, on the beltline when it hit. Got to see some pretty bad drivers. The truck really amazed me on how well the windshield cleared it self. Probably due to using the RainX though, I'm sure that helped.

Glad to hear you had some good runs in this time, Larry. Any work to do to the truck before the next run?

I love that RainX, great for repelling the rain, specially at highway speeds. I don't think it slowed those tree's down much though.
