Hello Nolan. How were the races on Friday? Has not smoking gotten any easier?

John, did you have a good day today?

Edit: Good evening Jim

Hey Nolan and Jim. Jay, we had a great day today. The weather was perfect - in the upper 70s and sunny all day. Got to visit with Jamie's mom and dad then went to visit my mom this evening. We got home about an hour ago, got the kids bathed and in bed and now we're just frumping around. Great time to catch up with all of you! Sounds like you all had a good trip too.

Hey everyone.

Happy mother's day I hope your day went well. We just got in from Nebraska.

So I got a little surprise on our way out of town. Randy stopped by his dad's shop to sharpen the lawn mower blade real quick, and his dad pulled me aside and started asking if I wanted stuff for my truck. He had an '03 7.3 that he traded in on a 6.4....and had goodies on it that he took off before he went to trade it in....little did I know.

I got one of those nice digital readout rearview mirrors (temperature, and compass), some nice summer/winter grill blankets and a cool tailgate step.

How is everyone doing?

Also its a bit slow around here because this weekend was the TS event in Bowling Green, KY. I'd say a good 50% of the regulars on the 7.3 forum attended that event. I wanted to go but just couldnt get Thursday/Friday off work.

Yes we did have a good day. Fun to meet the other parents. We already have tentative plans to either go camping with them this summer or just park our camper in their yard and just go boating all weekend.

That looks pretty cool Mark. Why do you need reservations and why only 4 hours?

Hey Jacob. How is Fleet Farm going?

Very cool pics Mark. That place looks like a cool place to visit.

Is that a live plant in the third pic?
