Smile Thank You!!!

I just wanted to say Thank You to the GREAT people that came to the West Virginia chapter meet & greet. Although there wasn't many of us, we still had a great time. A special thanks goes out to ( Michelle ) FordF350woman the Ga. chapter leader and her family for taking time out of thier vacation to stop by and have fun with us. I also want to thank 5_labsownus (Rod) and Dave Sponaugle. Without you all this would have not been possible.
There are a few pic's in my gallery of the gang, and I will add more as I get them. If anyone would like a copy just send me an e-mail and I will get them out to ya.

Thanks Everyone!
Mike

Hey Mike,
I forgot to ask you if we needed to chip in for the shelter. I had a great time, nice Sunday cruise. And by the way, it did not seem to me that you were lacking for any power coming up the road, you blasted right up those hills at a fair clip. LMAO

Michelle you sure have a nice truck and family, hope to see y'all again. You must have motored fairly hard to be home already, hope the bubble gum machines left you alone.

Rod, thanks for having a truck older than mine. Those old ones are still fun, and bunches easier on the pocket.

I had a great time, lets do it again, I'll get there sooner next time. You all were great.

All the rest of the people here missed a good time and some nice people, the weather was even nice for a change.

I know, I put mine on 75 and watched you YO YO up the road. YO'ed out on the way down the hill, YO'ed back in on the way up the hill.

My oil pressure guage was doing funny things when I went fast, or I would have turned more smoke on for you.

The faster I went, the lower the oil pressure was reading. Kinda scared me for a while.

When I got back to town I put a manual guage on and found everythig was OK though.

I gotta get a six speed before we go to Michelle's next meet and greet though, since she came all the way from Georgia to ours.
