teeitup · 03-15-2003, 08:39 PM

Well after leaving at 5:00 Friday morning we got back at 2:00 today from Lone Oak, Texas. 1125 miles and 135 gallon of gas in a 2002 GMC 3/4 4x4, ya 8.3 MPG, that was the only bad part. Met SgtJed (Don) in OKC, Ok, met Texparts (James) and Bo (Bo) in Lone Oak,Tx and met Stroker (Kelly) in Wichita,Ks. Got some good parts from James and Bo, everyone took care of us well. It was GREAT to meet all of you and I hope everyone is happy. I'm exhausted I drove 14 hours yesterday. Todays 5 hours was easy. Oh ya James and Bo one strap broke on that front end so its lucky I did strap everything down double!

Anyway THANKS TO ALL it was great to meet you! That make 35 members I've met! Randy

I'm glad to be home!!!!

Randy, just wanted to say thanks for hauling the cab and doors up to Wichita. Haven't been on the board for a few days so I'm just catching up. I've got the cab on the dolly now and have scrapped about 10lbs of Texas off the bottom. LOL. Really enjoyed meeting you hope to see ya again sometime soon.....Stroker
