all kinds of fun stuff to do in cape but im sure you guys will just want to grab a bite to eat and hang out for a bit and go to bed after driving all day. if not we can hit some bars and go to the eastside where the girls dance nude :heart:
 
Sounds good Rob, Let me know. Hope you can get the time off to come. Maybe Just Maybe you can get a running truck :laughing6::laughing6::laughing6:

your a funny guy. everything is off except cab and waiting for help to lift that off. then off to blasting and powder coat.
 
Damn you guys will be rolling right past me thru Batesville, MS on I55. I may just have to jump in on the convoy and go to LF6. Depends on what plans Uncle Sam has for me in August.

Bobby, after you guys leave Foristell, MO, I can pick you up at the Midway (Conoco) Truck Stop on the west side of Columbia, exit 121. That'll be about 1 1/2 hrs from Foristell.
