I would like to add a little to this important meetup. Since Dan, Kevin and myself are on the Roundup Excutive planning committee, we will hold an official Roundup planning meeting. Joe will be the independent Adhoc member during the meeting. Other attendees will also be treated with the same respect.

As previously warned, several ruffians from along the I-70 corridor (KC, Columbia, St. Louis area) met for lunch at Cheddars in Columbia.
In addition to transferring truck parts in the parking lot like some kind of Colombian drug deal, some initial discussions of this year's Roundup took place.
Flat John attended as well...apparently when he ordered a 'loaded baked potato', he expected some kind of booze to be involved!

Kevin - That was totally unintentional - LOL! We sat that way because of left & right hand eating issues. Trying to keep from knocking elbows while feeding our faces - hahaha!
And no, there was no nefarious deals going down in the parking lot (in broad daylight no less). Just Bolters helping Bolters through the MBA Pony Express. We may have resembled a group of ruffians though. At least rough around the edges.
A good time was had by all and everyone got back home safe and sound.
