I wish I could go. Just take a lot of Pic's Big Guy.

Ok, Now you have three. Count me in the group. But don't expect painted flames! I'll come up with 4th July decor. I'll donate to the fee also.

Before the 3rd or before the last spot is taking. If you want to wear your Depends, that is entirely up to you.

I thought you did. I've talked to Paceguy and he will be there as well.

Usually streamers and colored ribbons. Flags are also a big winner. Anything having to do with the 4th of July and Freedom. Can you get a rider to dress like the Statue of Liberty, and partially stand in the drivers Seat? Have her put her Bloody mary down, first.

Are you thinking about joining us?

Thinking about it. I think I meet your wife when I registered my 05 Slingshot last year. Does she work in the Collin County registrar's office in Plano?

Okay I can make. Unfortunately my wife is working or we'd bring both SSR'S. Might see if I can find another driver for her Slingshot. If I can only bring one which color would you prefer for the group? Slingshot or Aqua Blur?

Slingshot!

[Focks]

I am leaving the last spot open because a friend may join us in his SSR if he can get a driver.

Okay we have a full boat. I will tell you all where to meet me probally on Friday at the latest, but maybe sooner (If I am given the info sooner).

Don't forget,.. decorative Trucks Red, White and Blue!

[Focks]

How do you all feel about meeting me at the Southeast corner of Parker and Custer @ 6:50 - 7:00a. the morning of the parade.

There is a Starbucks there, and we can drive over to the parade area in mass.

I am going to get some donuts to bring over to the parade area, and I suggest everyone put together a container of chilled water.

Don't forget your sunglasses and sunscreen, along with your 4th of July Decorations!

PM me for my cell phone if you don't already have it.

See you tomorrow!

btw, hardly anyone will decorate their cars or trucks until tthe arrive at the set up area.

Those of you driving behind Focks in the parade route might also be advised to bring a set of ear plugs to protect your hearing. That custom air horn he has installed is quite loud, frequently exercised, and blows backward.

1.) John doesn't know what he is talking about, cuz he is too old and decrepit to even go on the parade.

2.) FYI my horn blows to the left, not backwards. You just overly sensitive.

3.) Turn your music up and you can hardly hear it.

[Focks]

A big thanks to everyone who came out this misty morning. I think it was a fine parade, and I know the kids were digging it.

I'll set it up again next year.

[ssr3]

Thanks for arranging the event. I had a great time and I didn't need sunscreen. Lots of kids and they enjoyed your train horn.
