    SWEET, we can have our own meets, and window fixing parties and make everyone out west jealous about our close location and fantastic trails........We can caravan down to Ocala , FL, and you can go up to Uwharrie, NC. Are you gonna be here by Oct? The fall meet is 22OCT-26OCT. They call it Hallowharrie. As long as my surgery is either way before it, or after it, I will be going, gotta show off the bumper project.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    Thumbs up

    Crager34,
    Congratulations on your promotion!

    Does this mean you won't be coming to next year ZuZu or you will be coming with Marlin?

    Peace.

    Report to work on 6-29-09, so I will be there. ZuZoo 10 I am not sure about. Maybe I will just fly out and rent a JEEP so I can hang with everyone.

    Crager,

    Grats on the job.

    Maybe we need to have a Gov't meet. I'm DoD not DoE but don't hold that against me. We'll even slum a little and invite some grunts or squids (sorry Marlin - couldn't resist).

    Marlin mentioned some really nice Gov't cabins down in his area. It's been a few years since I've been to the Charleston or Savannah area, it'd be nice to visit.

    This summer may be hard to make happen but we could shoot for next spring or summer.

    BTW, I know that the term grunt has negative connotations but since I've spent the past 26 years building equipment for our 'defenders of freedom', I actually use it as a term of respect. I have the utmost admiration for our men and women in uniform.

    Eh, I was government once too so I'm not all bad. If they paid more I'd love to go back. Sigh...

    Let me know if anyone wants to come down and I can do the footwork for the cabins or there is a nice campground on the Naval Weapon's Station as well.
