Roy, I was certainly thinking of you while I thoroughly enjoyed this cinnamon bun.

I wonder if anyone knows Tim Zowada well enough to coax him into coming to the Texas meet.
How cool would that be....

Pete <:-}

Very cool.
Best of luck with the new ride!

Pete <:-}

Great pics Randy.
Is that a new Caddy?
I seem to recall the last one was silver.

This is the most incredible part of the week, for sure.
