We all expect a lot of great pics from this years tour. Wish I had the time to go. These three trucks look great. Focks, your new hood is awesome. And smokey, your blue flames look so real that I don't think anyone would even try to touch the front of your truck. Have fun guys.

Well, after breakfast. Dinner was less then spectacular. I think the 4 of us can agree that "Carino's" is not all that. Meals came out one at a time. The shrimp scampi was cold and the bread had soaked up all the butter by the time it came to the table, and my steak was a no show until the time I was ready to leave.

The manager did comp two of the items but no real apologies were given.

Something to keep in mind when we return to Little Rock at the end of the week.

Wonder what they have to eat around here.

Purple Penelope · 05-31-2007, 07:23 AM

Am leaving in about 30 minutes....500 miles to the hotel in Nashville. Should be there about 6:00 tonight.

See you guys soon.

P/P

Peace

picked upa new camera this week for the simple pics to upload to the internet with out having to go throught the whole resizing ordeal.

Told the wife to keep practicing so I won't have to toss out a hundred or so photos that are blurrrrryyyyyy.

Can't seem to find my Wireless interface for the laptop though. I wonder if the kids have it some where?

Scott 0168 · 05-31-2007, 09:26 AM

Just got the Kalamazoo schedule of events off of Focks link!
8am-Noon - Sponsors and venders set-up.
Noon --------Registration opens and Tour begins to arrive.

The way it sounds the Power Tour won't arrive untill around 2 pm sometime.
I may get there at noon and watch the activites and wait for the SSR gang to arrive! By the way there is a party store across the street from the Fair Grounds if anyone is interested in any cold drinks or snacks after they arrive.
It will be great to see everyone again after our Maggie Valley trip.
