Andy, this should help. Pic taken in Andy's room last year on his bed with each doing shots of 1800, LOL.

Laura, just make sure to either:

1. Put a ball and short chain on him
2. Tie a bunch of helium balloons to him

the 1st will keep him from any trailer climbing
the 2nd will slow his fall

Either way pictures or it didn't happen !

I seem to have a leak in my rear hatch seal. Not expecting any car show trophies this year. (Patman has a superb OB.) But especially not expecting any if/when duct tape is applied. so I don't end up with a wading pool in the rear passenger side foot well again.

Current forecast calls for 30-60% chance of thunderstorms while we are there. Darn! Weather was perfect last year.

My car isn't a show car, so what. It'll make it to Texas, and back to Sin City. What do Sharks do in water? They swim, and do it better than most. That's why their the perfect predator!

Brad--

When might be a better time to install a new hatch seal?


Seems like an opportune moment to me. Just sayin'...

You're the best, Sean. Was holding back assuming you were overwhelmed with pre-3-C work. Will do!

One of the stories that I didn't have a chance to share with the world was:

On the way back from Third Coast last year, all I had was this make shift splint from the E.R. holding my finger together. The trailer had a blow out right outside of McGregor, Tx and I managed to back the trailer into a paved driveway at some company on the side of the highway.

So with the help of Mikey and Laura, we managed to get the tire changed. I went inside the trailer to wipe my hands off, and as I turned to exit the trailer, my splinted pinky finger, which was sticking straight out from my hand from the splint, caught the door frame, and bent my broke finger sideways about 60 degrees from the direction it is supposed to reside ......and the kicker was, the splint held it there in this grotesque position.

I had to grab my finger, and "bend" the splint back into a normal position.

Second time in my life, I cried like a baby, and nearly threw up from the pain......

The first was a fingernail thing that I will share some other time.......

I am not even going to quote KillaV - I almost puked myself /and also cried/ when he bent his already broken disfigured finger back on the door jam. ugh. i can't take it.

That story made it sound like so much fun!

I'm blaming Beerfish for the whole thing just because he was there.

I'm sure that we can make some even better stories this year.
