marked for trophy wh--e status

welp i dont know how many of you from the illinois area made it to the cruise for charity last night and today , but it was a good time as usual . the leisurely stroll acroos springpatch from one end to the other by all the cars last night with traffic blocked so we had right away is soooo much fun , but just because i like pi--in- people off i think . well today the wife entered the 53 in the judging . i didnt dont care , im just there to show my truck off to those who appreciate her .come awards tonight i got best original . dunno how but ............... i wondered how she could be considered original , but my freind and judge of the rice burner crowd told me out of the unrestored old trucks there mine was the least modified , and was still sporting the stock suspension and driveline . ok . now the wife wants to go ballistic on it so we can win more tropies . she's doomed to be a trophy w-o-e me thinks . too bad so sad that im having way to much fun driving it and enjoying it the way she is and just fixing what it needs . later guys !!!!!!!!!!!! gotta go see the new grandbaby that was just hatched at the hospital !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good goin' Kevin. Nice work. I've missed the cruise with other stuff going on. I'm gonna make sure I get to the Rt 66 event, though. And congrats on the grand baby. We got back from visiting ours a couple weeks ago. They sure grow up fast.
