Brian count Ted & I in
Bok Tower is the most SERENE place I have ever visited.
When all the cars are turned off, the birds will be singing
a peaceful tune of Welcome to us!!

When you say Plan accordingly:

Are you saying GAS UP WAY BEFORE 11??
How about two way radio's and what channel??

I have several cases of Mastio Cars I will bring
if anyone is interested, many colors too.
PM me what colors you are interested in.

[spoons]

We have 20 Prowlers that have RSVP. I assume we will have more show up for this event if the weather is good. Look like a chance of rain, but temps in the mid 70's.

[spoons]

Due to the bleak forecast this Saturday, we are rescheduling this event for January 23.

Due to the bleak forecast this Saturday, we are rescheduling this event for January 23.

I think that was a wise decision for all in light of the forecast for tomorrow.

We'll be there next weekend for sure!!
