OKAY, it's Tim and I just learned yesterday.
He asked to do a road trip to St. Louis, then catch a flight back down under.
New river bridge walk will be attempted, other idea's of places to stop, see, or eat, will be welcome.
I'll drop him off in East St.Louis, but who will pick him up when he gets to DC?

HandyAndy, Hotrod, Leo and Tim are members of the LDT.
Alvin and Ron will be members, if they attend.
(hope I did not miss anyone)
Sweet is a honorary member for the weekend.
Sweet's performance, will be judged during the meeting Saturday night, by the LDT members.
If Sweet does good and performs the initiation (showing the proper way of donning a Stovebolt dust mask) to be a LDT member.
He will be sworn in as a full time member of the LDT.

Keep it up, the more you blaspheme, the more laps you will do.

But trust me, the LDT will back me up on any charges that may be charged and defend me or any other LDT member, to the pond, or close to it.
You have not met Tim, a mate of Crocodile Dundee.
Jerry, from Tennessee that I cannot tell you about due to national security.
Leo, who is suspected of being related to Spider man, according to my wife.
Almost forgot Andy, Master of Fire! Don't get him warmed up, he may just explode.
Then there is myself, Nuclear waste mutant that not only glows in the dark, but can mutate in to whatever I want to be.
It won't be a Croc though, Tim will want to skin me.

Tim is making flight plans today.
I'm thinking Tim and I will be doing a road trip to St.Louis.
Also looking for idea's on places to stop and tour on the way back.
Hope, Andy and Jerry can join us some of the way west.
Andy, I can make room for your bike on the trailer if the weather turns foul.
I'll have extra tie downs.

Tim is a life long member of the LDT. Did you ever wonder what TPR in Tim's stage name stands for? First letter is Tim's Second letter is Prostate. Third letter is Reinforcing. Need I say more? I have already said too much, and be prepared for an interesting weekend, but just remember the background of the LDT members. You may not like it!  Don

He occupied the presidential suite at headquarters. Sounds like things are going downhill, Tim.

If you do that, you will be a member of the LDT.
That is based on the distance, the cities you have to pass thru and how you have already proved, the proper way to don the official Stovebolt Dust Mask.
Being a member means you will support the King of the LDT and any other member of the LDT.
The LDT is growing even stronger.
