Welcome Frank 58! We'll get with you off line about scheduling the prep session for the ODSS New Member Initiation Ritual at Homecoming. I think we have enough time to get you ready for that... Don't worry, it's not too tough. last year, I don't believe Don actually *had* to go to the ER (We could have reset the shoulder, but all that blood had every one kinda edgy. Man, who know those femoral arteries were that important?? Note for this year -- let's all be more careful during the "Dance of the Flaming Chainsaws" okay?)

Welcome to the group, if you pass the initiation.
I went thru it last year and the best advice I can give you is' Don't Show Fear, no matter what.
If they see fear in your eyes, it just gets more, let's say, interesting.
By the way, I really like the door art.
I live in Callaway county Mo. and retired from the Callaway nuclear power plant two years ago.
More advice will come later.

But can I offer up the Junk Yard Tour Thong?
It saved me last year when I was forced to take a gas axe to the fuel tank.
It did protect some very important parts of me though.
The Thong, may be a little soiled, but that will help out with more protection to vital parts.

Wooooooooooooooo!
I am so glad that I drove Frank around the old farm yesterday. I will get with Miss Peggy and get the history all typed up nice. So Stoked! This truck may have been driven by my grandfather back in the day when he worked for Callaway Lumber and she also said they lived there back in 1952!!! Man I'm so ready for the spirits to visit me! I know in my heart when i drive that truck on the road that I will have a copilot! My Grandfather!

Been open since yesterday. Just can't close it!
This will be a good project; great story. You'll have plenty of helpers!
