On our way! Well…I,Theresa, Johns better half, have been trying to figure out how to attach a photo for about an hour now. If one shows up…yay! If not, oh well.
Edit; Due to The Queen Bee’s request, I’ll try and write something about some of the photos.

Just got back to the cheap hotel and it has been a great day at Mongo’s garage. Plenty of hot dogs and beans were consumed along with Vicki’s made from scratch cookies. T shirts were inventoried and ready to distribute tomorrow. Boy Scout flag retirement ceremony tomorrow morning and then back to the garage to wrench and tell stories. Vicki will be making scrap material rugs and will show anyone who wants to learn how. The guys will be going over the 65 GMC with the 292. More dogs and pulled pork is on the menu along with a big pot of baked beans.
More pictures to prove the epic event happened will follow tomorrow. Don
