I'll meet you guys over at the RP at 1700. I might suggest the SE corner of the parking lot by the retaining wall. It's generally less crowded there. Of course, who'll miss seeing you anyway... ;-)
Hi Jim! Are you providing a convoy escort to the parade start?

No. I just checked my City email. I have to be at the station at 1700, so I'll see you at the start point. That's the assignment for which I signed up. See you all tomorrow!

Alright guys & gals, tonight is the night!!! :-D Dress warm and bring your hot chocolate.

So Wal-Mart Parking Lot (I-35 & 15th) @1700 hours. I will try to get there early to find an open area. SE or NE.

PS: I was able to pull some strings and get some air support. See picture. :-D:-D

OK, Boys:!: With all this talk of BULB WARS and AIR SUPPORT you're reminding me..... "If I've told you once, I've told you A MILLION TIMES... DON'T EXAGGERATE:!::!:

Besides, you're making the rest of us envious that we can't parade with you.

Best wishes for a wunnerful, fun, safe celebration.

And don't forget to POST PICTURES, please :-D

Great job everbody! I think we it went well for such a short notice mission. We will be better prepaired next year. How was Los Arcos??? My family eats there most weekends, good food and good prices.

M813A1: I'm glad the inverter issue worked out. Guess those things really suck the juice out of the batteries. I'm glad you took some pictures. I was hoping to see something on the news but didn't see any thing. I hope the trip to Hooks goes well. I can't wait to hear the stories at the convoy next week.

Thanks again to everyone!!!!!

Yes Murphy tried to tag along last night. We didn't let him get the best of us.

Between battery issues, carburator issues, power inverter isssues and transfer cases stuck in 4 High everything went off without a hitch......LOL

I really light the picture I took of my truck. Looks like I was looking thru a prizm.

Thanks for the 6 SS members and 5 trucks and one Pioneer trailer for coming out.

GOOD NEWS!!!!:-D

It's not official yet so don't go bragging to the "Model A" club just yet. :twisted: A little birdie told me that we took 2nd place, which means $200!!!:-D:-D

So I'm going on a shopping spree!:twisted: Just kidding, I would like to put this towards some professional signs or banners to hang on our trucks for these types of events. M1075 is working on some ideas please pass on any of your ideas to him.

Birdie also said we looked great and they looked forward to seeing us again next year. They promised to have the staging area a little more organized next year.

Again, GREAT JOB GUYS!!!:-D:-D:-D

The proverbial "check is in the mail"!!! :-D:-D Or will be soon. We did not have to be present at some secret location to collect this one.

I still want to know who beat us???? I'm not sure how or when the official anouncement will be made.

You guys looked very good. I especially liked the close air support! It's just too bad there weren't more along for the trip. Everyone seemed to be having a great time, even though the streets were shut down at 1600, over two full hours before the start of the parade. ;-)
