Hopefully, I'm going to have lunch with Nursewratchet very soon and if she will/can help me I want to get a Texas meeting on the books.  But not until either spring or fall.  It's way too hot here in the summer.

I'm there!!!!  We need to just schedule it and do it.  Damn jobs!!! :banghead;

Yes, I would love to see the pics!

And I might even come to a Texas IHD gathering should there be one.  I have friends in the Dallas area and in Galveston. Right now it would cost less than 1/2 as much for me to fly to Dallas or Houston in October as compared to Las Vegas.  I noticed the same thing last year.  Flying to Las Vegas from Virginia in October is very expensive - also costs more than flying to California  ???  Not sure why - fall break?  Folks going to the Grand Canyon?

The film was dropped off at Costco today!!!!!!   I shopped around for a while, but they still weren't done when I was ready to go, so I'll return tomorrow or Monday to pick them up!   Man, these photos better be good!  Too much build up!  I don't want y'all to be disappointed!

I have the photo, but it's "too large".  Who can help me with this?   BTW, I look horrible!  But I promised to post it so I will.  Donnia looks fabulous.

We met at Chuy's over across from the Forum on IH-35.

We need to do lunch soon!  I'm supposed to get my drain bag out this week, so sometime after that.  Message me and give me your new work #.
