Your right Rick.. Well, my camper is ready to roll, had a slight leak coming from the antenna socket, cauked that up, aired the tires up on it and recauked around the roof corners for added piece of mind. Besides doing the swaybar bushings I also am changing out the brake fluid and maybe the trans fluid in the pan, I really need a trans flush so that might happen instead..What money allows..

Rick. I had never seen or drank the 10oz'rs till I was down your way. Dont know why but they taste better and go down smoother. If you dont mind, pick up a case for me and I'll reimburse you when I see you.

Darrell. There is a reason we have 10 oz cans. I don't care what anybody says about this, but our beer is stronger in the deep south. I went to OK and I drank a bunch of beers and didn't get a buss. They said you can't buy real beer here.

EDIT: I will bring enough to get most happy. I got some for you Darrell.

I just had a visual, I see it now, you will be hooked to a Miller Lite truck when you pull in to the campground....

I will have a truck with plenty Miller Lite. I won't be pulling it, because they don't allow me to pull it that fast. Keep looking for that big dually coming in.

I am ready to do a taste test. But no matter who wins. I will be there.

Hmmmm. I always get a buzz when I drink a bunch. I will be drinking what has always worked for me. If you have something better, you have my attention.

Very cold beer. I don't sit much, so it helps with not falling out of the chair.
