<font color=blue>Did you ever recieve that list of members from the TDR??

I work on the 24th until about 3:30pm then (on call afterwards but I will still attend).

See what you stirred up... and then left!
(LSR attempt).


Gimmie a email when you work something out. I have already gotten together with (Douglas Hatfield, and Ramkids) for a mild BOMBing session, was a blast.

Count me in! The wife is out of town this week and will be taking the Lincoln so HER RAM is all mine for the weekend. Let me know where you will be meeting.

Darn it Eric! Can you twist someone's arm into letting you take a long lunch break? Sure hope you can make it.

I have the 'party room' confirmed for 12:30 to 3:00 pm at Vidlak's Cafe in Gretna. From I-80: Exit 432 (Flying J and Outlet Stores exit) NE to Gretna, then right on Hwy 370, Vidlaks 1/2 a block up on the left. Or, from Exit 439 (? is the Hwy 370 exit, one exit West of Exit 440, Sapp Bros) SW on 370 several miles into Gretna, on the right just before the stop light.

Gretna is just a nice little town that's easy to get to and the food at Vidlak's is good and reasonably priced. We don't have to pay for the room if we order meals -- so bring a few bucks and an appetite.

No agenda this time -- we'll just get together and talk trucks -- as well as plan a future event.

The room is going to be setup for about 10 people; it can accomodate a-lot more so just let me know how many are coming. I'll probably bring the family, wife and the youngest atleast, so I'm in for three.

<font color=blue>Mark -

Unfortunatly I don't get lunch breaks, whether I am dispatching or scheduling the dispatchers! #ad
This weekend I am the "scheduler" for all 392 dispatchers so I can't just "cut-out" early as much as I would like to. What do you have planned for after 3pm? Anything? This stinks! #ad

<font color=blue> Just wondering is ANYONE going to be around after 3:30pm or 4:00pm? Looks like I may not get to leave work until 3:30pm today which means the very earliest I could shoot out to Gretna would be 4:30pm.

So thinking I might miss the whole darn thing #ad


Here is my email at work (I hope this works, not used to giving out my work email) also its not always 100% reliable : -- email address removed --

Guess noone mentioned yet that Mark did manage to get some door prizes donated from Cummins Great Plains and I believe also Jim's Dodge.


Doug Hatfield - If I don't meet up with you sometime today then I can swing by your work on Monaday to get that service manual back to you. And also get my PowerEdge from you #ad
(I don't have your email handy here at work so thats why I am posting here) .

So someone post here before ya head out and let me know where I need to head after work.

Found out that me and Mark Kitchell live very close together! (Never seen his truck just driving around though yet)

<font color=blue>The first informal meeting I would say turned out ok for such short notice. I believe initially there were 6 people and 5 trucks and then I arrived roughly 4pm (couldn't get out of work before that) and met Mark Kitchell, Mike (6bbl), and Douglas Hatfield (had previously met him with Chris(Ramkids) to fix his Jeep and install his PowerEdge. And I was told most of the poeple had just left about 30 mins before I got there.

Sorry I missed out on meeting you other fellas. I believe the other 2 people were GeneA and Jay Kleeper (I can't remember how to spell the last name. . I am currently at work and without my email at home).

Mark your calenders now... . next scheduled meeting :

<font size=+4>AUGUST 19TH</font>

Agenda still to be determined.


Also for those that are interested, out in Eastern Iowa a guy who owns a transmission shop is interested in being involved with our chapter. I am attempting to set up some type of Dyno Day with him, I need suggestions on when I should attempt this for maxium participation (its about a 5 1/2 hour from Omaha). I will be starting a new thread regarding this asking for opinions, etc. I will also reasearch around who, if anyone around here has a Dyno we could "borrow" for a day.
