Scott, I think we're up to about 20 or so trucks at last count. A little difficult to get a hard number as a few have indicated they might bring a second truck. I'm estimating around 40 people. Truly astounding given the history of such attempts to organize outings such as this.
I think we may have picked up our first specialty parts provider. If I'm right - I think "wild Bill" has checked in from DFuser and is planning to come by. Hey Bill - if that's you......thanks for hooking me up with Randy! He's just what I needed - we'll talk about him more later!
Scott, don't worry about not having a truck to bring. Got a picture of it - even in pieces? After all...this is for Ford Truck Enthusiasts....nothing says you have to drive a truck to the picnic. Come join us!

Hey! DFuser! Bill - if that's you I appreciate your checking in. We look forward to having you join us.
Most Mileage, huh? Hadn't thought of that one but I like the idea. Consider it done. Something tells me you've got an old-timer there. We'd love to see her.
I haven't talked with Randy in over a week. I know he works on Saturdays but I wonder if he and Sharon would be able to get away for this one? That red monster of his would be a hit at the picnic.
Don't forget to bring some vittles fer yerself and your guests, if any.
See'ya!

Just a thought, change "Most Gauges" to "Most Functional Gauges". I've still got the oil pressure and water temp that were stockers and no longer function, so I'd not want them counting.
Hey sgreen, Taylor, TX I assume? That's where I'll be after this thing on Sat.

Okay, folks...time to get real serious now. - I need your help!
My wife wants to know how many of the female persuasion will be attending our picnic.
24 of you have indicated you will attend the gathering at the dam. Please, Please, Please tell me that some of you will be bringing a humanoid of the female gender with you. Please....I beg you!
It's bad enough this is a male-dominated, bonding thing as my wife calls it...but I need to know if you're planning on bringing someone with hair longer than yours - if that doesn't work - how about someone who is wearing makeup - if that doesn't work......I give up!
Is my wife gonna be the only "girl in town"?? Please tell me it ain't so!!
