Thank you BBRC for the great event...I'm looking forward to winning the best looking truck next year.

Dave, sir, that was a hellava flop, glad you and the truck survived as well as you did. Still amazed you drove it back. Most excellent wheeling with you.

Thanks for the spare axle and birf - those will most likely be the first of many I'll be swapping out iffin' I don't get a new right shoe.

FYI - I nominated you for the "smallest tent" award, but evidently that wasn't a category...

Tim

Hey BK, thanks for carting my lazy ass around all day. The circus pig was a blast to ride around in. We need to find the circus music horn.

Pictures!

Here is a link to 114 pictures from the Fall Crawl.

Unfortunately, the battery died just as this one was taken. Dave, you are going to have to do that again now that the camera is ready.
