<font color=blue>No problem on making the drive..... I had a blast, thanks for your hospitality Kevin (and Jamie).

I am on a slowww machine right now... so I'll write some thoughts later. Gotta get my PC's back together... ... ... .

BigA - I made a parts list for you, Kevin has it.

I'm glad to hear that you guys really had fun.

Kat - anytime you come to town... remember you are welcome to my house. BTW, thanks for telling where to get my gauges. . they are on the way. Including the 50 psi boost gauge... just can't wait to put'em in (along with the boost elbow... LOL)

Big A - the parts list that Kat made me, I need to type it out for you and will send it tonight.

Maybe next time we can get a few more "antique" trucks (like mine) to attend. #ad
I've got a few friends I'll ask.

Also, it seems that a few of us have trail rigs as well, maybe we should get together sometime for a four wheeling trip? (If I ever get around to putting the motor mounts back in my Blazer).

Pete - I don't have an off road rig. . though I got my ATV... let's do it. I think that would be a blast.

Mac - We would be glad to have you. Would you like me to put you on the e-mail list?

Pcorssmit, I second that opinion about doing some four-wheeling with our trail rigs as my has been sitting for about a week of no fourwheeling, besides that last time I went four-wheeling in Colorado was in the San Juan mountains for some ghost town and mines explorations. I would like to do the Die-Trying trial in Montrose looks good as I don't know how to get there, but it looks awesome.

BigA -

Did you ask them why they sent you those gauges in the first place knowing it was for a Cummins Diesel? Just wondering. Did you use the parts list I made up by chance? If not which gauges did you order???

No promises, but I'll prolly be out there before next month, I'll let you know if I do. I'll take ya for a spin... ... since ya missed out.

I heard today the streetsweeper already cleaned up our "playground". However I was told that the sweeper tried about 4 times to get the "rubber marks" off the crosswalk! #ad
Kevin told me thats the only thing left really... ... . its a shame that was a really nice set of tire tracks I left, glad I got a picture of it (I think)!

Kat - all I have to say is... "SHOW OFF!! LOL... but we all love it... ha ha ha

Douglas - I say let's do it. I go to Montrose a couple times a year, so I can get you there. . no prob

Lil A (LOL) - Sorry, I forgot to send you that list yesterday, tell me if you want it and I will get that to you asap.

Doug, I think I can get directions from some friends that have done it. I don't know when I can make it down, I'd like to get a trailer first and I'll be pretty slammed next semester, but we could squeeze in a trip somewhere.

Big A, at first glance I thought you were posting Kat's gauge readings-I finally figured they were part numbers when I got to the pyro.
