You didn't tell me you got a shirt! Awesome to say the least.

Glad to hear you made it well Rob! Did Onur take you to the Frontier or anything?

Are you going back via the 45 run, or just time to get home when you head back?

Dan

Isn't that about what new Cruisers get? Not much changes in 40 years.



Did you get a chance to wear your Pig farmer/barbershop quartet outfit while you were in Iowa?

Iowa loves Rob too!

I had the pleasure of Rob riding shotgun with me for an hour or so on Saturday, and there wasn't a dry eye in the house after his moving "thank Woody/Mud for bringing us all together", "we are the world", "I love you man" speech at the sat night raffle (inspired by some four or more Jack & Coke's).

Safe trip back!

Woody can bring people from the corners of the earth together but he can't seem to get a Pets and Animal Section together.


Rod didn't have an adult beverage did he?

Yes, he shat his shants! There is a reason he stepped in the Mud.

He had to get back to his 45. "It didn't look that deep!"

Taco pizza

I think Rob found something better than a tenderloin, Taco pizza, ask him about it. It was a pleasure meeting Rob, what a great guy.

He is a terrific guy and a good friend of mine.

His wife is great as well as his son Will.


But then again, he is from the midwest, indirectly

i think the proper terminology for that pic should be "he sharted his shants"!


if anybody needs to know how the term "sharted" evolved;

shit + farted = sharted

Too bad that he fixed that leaky win; he could have clean shoes again by the time he got back to Cali Great to see you're having such a good trip--be safe!

Just a quick update for everyone....Rob rolled into Shenandoah areound 7ish last night, we ate some Mexican food and shot the shit about the trip and he headed west shortly after 3am this morning. Im guessing he should be around or shortly past Lincoln, Nebraska about now.

Good luck with the rest of the trip Rob, the cruiser looks awesome and it was great meeting another mudder. Leave me a message on how the latter half of the trip goes and Ill see if I cant reply when I get out of BCT in a couple months.

By the way...thanks for the shirt, thats awesome.

Jeff
