I'd say my shop at home, but parkin is an issue there, plus I'm gettin ready for graduation parties and graduating school, and most importantly gettin the truck ready for the nice weather and gettin her goin. Could all meet up at this restaurant I work at, parkin lot is plenty big, but I would need to kno well in advance so I can get the day/night off and get them extra help. There is also a parkin lot here in town that is plenty big, and have a couple people bring grills and some dummy boards or something along those lines.....I don't kno...what's everybody else thinkin?

If a get together and just kind of meet and barbeque, there are plenty of options. Parks, camping areas, whatever. Location is the next trick... anyone that is interested need to speak up so we can find the most suitable location.

there are quite a few here in the SE, several in Cedar Rapids alone... but you're close enough that you could hitch a ride with me wherever it is... speaking of which, what are you doing this weekend? I'm going to be back up to Opie's, picking up the van, and also maybe helping him move... if it all comes together right. He's up to Burlington, I could come by if you want.

There is supposed to be a 2 day mud bog and mud drag up north of the quad cities on the 22 and 23 of april I believe, if the truck is ready I probably will go to that one.

I doubt my truck will be ready in time for that event...
I'm a pansy. Either way, yeah lets set a date. Plan something. I'll drive an hour or two for something. Others will too I'm sure. Maybe get some food and do an event of some kind. Hell, I don't care.

Morrison on April 22nd Mud Drags...hmmm.... only an hour away. Sounds like that would be a great Eastside meet. 
Unfortunately I don't think I can get there - family get together scheduled that weekend.

yeah yeah fellro and i had a great time the other day, too bad chrono couldnt come up with ya roger, we could have used an extra hand. Truth be told roger did more then i did. And i forgot all about that water tank until i got back over there the next day and it was gone. sorry bud i would have rode back over there to help you load it. i only got one more load to move and i will do that today or tommorow. i am so glad to be done moving. Now i gotta find a house to remove into later this year uggghhh.

the tank wasn't that bad to load, was harder to drag out to the street... looks like it got a small hole punched in the bottom sometime, but that won't be a big deal to fix, the sister already has a use for it...
