Any midwest Street class trucks going to show up, or are they all askeeerd of a little west coast guy called Tcolesanti ?:-laf :-laf :-laf I heard they're all staying home for fear of getting whooped up on by a tired, old, broken down, cracked 53, coolant leaking, 24V, VP44, westy truck - sounds daunting doesn't it?. . . Don't mean anything personal when I said little, Tom.

See you folks in Houston.
