Gosh, what can I add? Now I know why guys get there early...just more time to enjoy.
Thanks to AJ for the Camp layout, best ever.
Thanks to Billy and Jennifer providing us with a place to stay if the elements should turn foul, the great grillmaster Billy and the excellent meat.
Cindy was 'WOWED' by the jacket, it was a team effort until Milliman took the ball and ran for a touchdown. I love the jacket and what it all represents.
Super meeting the newest additions to the Stovebolt family...Craig and Karen (I couldn't believe that we didn't scare you away the first night!), Duwop (personification of courage as he came to the event even though his back caused him great pain), Nick and your neighbor (sorry his name escapes me) great chatting with you both.
Super taking George's ride for a roll, everyone wants your truck and you know it
George!!
Can't believe it's over, must look forward to seeing you all real soon.
Until then, justanotherbrother,

He does a frame off resto to a truck that truly becomes a Carlisle show stopper ... And everyone wants his truck.
He drags one out of the woods, but it doesn't have enough patina so he has NASA drop it from the space shuttle without a parachute ... And everyone wants his truck.
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude ...

Hands-down it was the best weather we've had and probably the best chow as well. Meeting some new people and receiving our "Gang Colors" put it over the top.
I'm glad my brothers had fun trying to test the limits of the '66. From Sweet's high-speed performance run, to John's off road suspension test, to Cosmo's conservative cruise. If you didn't get to drive the '66, it's your own fault... the keys stayed in it the entire time.
Can't wait for the next event. Really looking forward to Billy's 860 and John's "Big Jeep" attending the shows.
Take care, George | | | | | Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 242 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 242 | Fellow Brother's
Since I was unable to attend, can someone fill me in on the fate of Brother Hambone. Glad you all had a great time.

Theres that and the fact that half of my team jumped ship and couldn't decide whether he was on the jury or a prosecutor!!! The whole proceeding quickly spiraled out of control when people were asking for 1 minute recesses to get another beer out of the cooler. When the peanuts stated flying, the judge, despite his best efforts, lost control of the court room (I haven't laughed that hard in a long time!).
In the end, Brother Hambone is still a free man, right HB?....Hambone?.....Hey bone?....
Darn, thats what got you into this whole mess in the first place.
Hmmm, suddenly I have a hankering for a beer and a bag of peanuts....

Free at last, free at last. Of course until the next meeting when I am sure you all will find something I have done was offensive to some or all or none. And I will find myself in the court again.
