Okie Dokie ... A few of you have been asking where the Homecoming pictures are... Well how the heck should I know?????? Seriously, let me say this on Amtrakjoe's behalf as he is too much of a gentlemen to say it himself ...
BACK OFF, Bee otch.. um, I mean Brothers ... (yeah, brothers ... ). Cut brother Joe a little slack. I'm sure he is trying as hard as he can to get us those amazing (... um, they *are* amazing, aren't they Joe???) shots just as soon as he possibly can so let's all just be as patient as we can while he teaches himself Photoshop and gets us those amazing ubercamera shots we are all breathlessly awaiting, okay?
(was that subtle enough ?)
Love you like the brother you truly are to me, Joe Oh, and it;s *next* weekend ...

Grigg II and Hambone, got just a little wet in that Triumph. Put the top up? We don't need no stinking top!
That's all for tonight folks. Don

Sorry Joe ... It's great to be on this side of this particular issue for a change, so I was enjoying myself at your expense. I'll be better now.
If I caused you any anxiety or stress, I'm sorry.
Sort of ...

Wow, Joe -- It's one thing to have a nice camera. Its entirely another to actually know how to compose a great image that tells a story. HDR used to good effect.
Thanks!

Great shots Joe , and thanks . Now I can show those that question the logic of my traveling all the way down south to join ( you all ) at the Stovebolt reunion my reasoning. John
John I can feel how the question the logic of the travelling but it’s a stovebolters thing they would never understand some call it a disease but a good one I have met a great group of people with no regrets
Joey, Nice job by you, eh! I really appreciate you captured me at my finest We will talk later! But as usual, you always do come through with the best effects to show off these magnificent pieces of rolling history. Thanks, Pal!

Nice set of pictures Joe ! I think this is my 4th or 5th year and it is always good times with a great group of people and old iron ! Thanks for taking the time to get some nice pics ! Jim
Here's some pictures I took On Friday on the way to meet other bolters for lunch, Was a great ride on great roads. I did go on another ride on Saturday to Griggs house but I only got pictures of dust cause that's where I was left, in the dust by a flock of 1 tons and bigger . In my defense I involved in a interesting conversation with Pops my carb instructor.

I'm sure he is trying as hard as he can to get us those amazing (... um, they *are* amazing, aren't they Joe???) shots just as soon as he possibly can so let's all just be as patient as we can while he teaches himself Photoshop and gets us those amazing ubercamera shots we are all breathlessly awaiting, okay?![[elvis]](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/default/elvis.gif "[elvis]"){kind=small}
