    Hey guys I will have to say that we had a great turn out for only having alittle over a weeks notice. I had a great time and learned a few things too........Stay up wind from John was the big one But really I had a great time and I can't wait till we can do it again sometime. Was a bit chilly today but the laughter kinda took care of the being cold part . And also if you ever break down make sure you are close to Louisville. Here are your instuctions, first call John he will come get ya with the trailer then you call Ron and go over to his state of the art palace I mean Garage and surly he will have something to get you back on the road

    Thanks guys let do it again sometime :bananaman
    Oh yeah and if you ever want to wear oh dad out give your kid a bouncy ball and see what happens :p

    Love the garage. Looked like a blast. Even though I probably have that many Mavericks and Comets in this area I can never get them together.

    Neal....

    Neal,

    Man, I'm working again today (Sunday) I'll be putting in 16 hours today. I'm working for a friend of mine who is deer hunting. It looks like you guys had a blast, where exactly were you? Were you in E-town?

    I actually have to run to Evansville sometime tomorrow. I have to run by Wright Steel and pick up some steel tubing. I've got to get in gear on my daughter's jr. dragsters. If I don't make some visible progress soon, they may attack me in my sleep. ;) I also need to get some more 1 5/8 stuff for a couple of cages that I have lined up to do over the winter. Hopefully the guys will still have the funds to get them done.

    Just let me know, I'm in Evansville pretty often, I'd like to meet somewhere sometime.

    Man, I wish I could have made that trip. It looks like you guys had a blast.

    Yes, I had a great time! It was alot of fun getting to hang out with everyone and "bag" on each other!

    Ron was an "ace" for helping Josh out with his car. (y)

    It was good to see Dave again!

    It was nice meeting Josh and Lonnie for the first time.

    Neal is my "pimp daddy"........he's had my "hook-up". Thanks again! ;)

    Ron is a super cool guy and his son, Josh, is a sharp young man! To bad he is gonna drive his dad's chebby! ;)

    Ward as always, my buddy!

    Now for some of the comments!
    1) My hands where in my pocket because: You never know when you might need a "clean" hand!
    2) Staying "up wind" from me is ALWAYS a good ideal!
    3) Damn! That Frahler guy ran ALL OVER THE PARKING LOT chasing balls!!!!!!(way to go John Aaron! :D )
    4) Hey Ron!....can you bend over and pick that up for me?........take your time! :D :p

    Bank story:

    It all started in Cincy. The bank on 3rd street merged with the bank on 5th Street. Hence, the great name: 5th 3rd Bank.

    This happened before the days of a "marketing" department.
