Well, I only just posted it last night.
I sent you a text yesterday to make sure it was ok, I never heard back so I just did it anyway

My son would wear his shirt everyday if we would let him. I'll try to get pics of the shirts.

it is hard to convey in the pics, but that thing has the sweetest black paint I have ever seen. It is so deep and like a mirror.

bigarmzz · 01-07-2010, 02:00 PM

man, i'd love to come down there sometime and check that place out

...but sadly, i just looked on mapquest...its "only" 1500 miles/24 hour drive

joe231 · 01-07-2010, 03:06 PM

Ain't no step for a stepper!

can you say "vacation to Lubbock"?

CHEESE · 01-07-2010, 03:15 PM

Wow!! That might be one of the worst vacations ever! Lol! Dont get me wrong, i luv this town, and the people, but there aint too much to do!!

lol, i second that! my fri and sat nights consist of wasting as much gas as possible up and down 82nd, but, thats enjoyable to me

Prerunner1982 · 01-07-2010, 03:41 PM

Hey Joe..which way did you go?

I have made that trip many many times, being from Lubbock and all....

I usually took 40 to Amarillo then down to Lubbock, I think it is quicker but not as much to look at. Going down the turnpike to Wichita falls is a bit more scenic, if there is such a thing in west Texas.

yeah, but you guys live there, so your view is different.
i wouldn't mind spending a week hanging out at Hill's and helping/learning whatever I could...the wife on the other hand would probably get bored with that rather quickly

yeah, we took 40 over to Amarillo.
I have family in Amarillo, and spent some time growing up in Canyon. My dad actually worked on the construction of the highway that bypasses Canyon between Amarillo and Lubbock when I was a wee lad

I have family in Canyon as well...
