Wow, excellent job on the floor. Thanks for that Matt. Sorry I missed you. There was also a guy with an R model. green one all chopped down, nice and neat last I saw the information booth said there was 960 trucks showed up this year. Last year was a record well over 1000.

Oh by the way Matt 73 was there for sure hippy actually saw his truck like wow man

Tom we found our house legal information on line and it actually says my ex wife lived here a couple of years I don’t know how they come up with this stuff we split up in 1990 and I bought this house in 2005 and she lives 400 miles from here in art bells town parump Nevada… bob

OK, who change the subject this time ha ha ha it wasn’t me. I just continued with the new conversation you hear me Joey. Tj ???

Ya right you know all this jazz about protecting your transactions I don’t think anything is really safe. McAfee, for example, can notify you if there’s an issue but they can’t really prevent it. What’s scary I am hearing people can go in there and take your property without you even knowing it that’s scary.

I think this is the first I’ve heard of it

That mostly happens in the winter time when it’s too cold

Yes, he’s definitely working a lot faster than I do

Best wishes bud and have a swinging time not sure if it’s today or tomorrow … bob

I never did see Matt. I looked for him all day Friday as far as the photo goes I don’t know. I think the rain just drove everybody out. It certainly screwed up a lot of stuff. I was going to be watching for you, Dave for one. And 67 R model I don’t know his name. I figured both of you guys would be there, but I did probably talk to a handful that did show up. Oh well it rains a lot here in the East Coast. It happens that’s why it’s gorgeous and green everywhere. Maybe see you next year Dave… bob

That’s really weird because I just read a couple of weeks ago. They were not going to do anything with the anthem. I saw a brand new pioneer at the show. It wasn’t the ugliest thing I ever seen. I think the worst thing about it was the windshield I didn’t care for it was too bubbly, but you fellas are right. There is too much Volvo in it. Best of luck to them.

Ha ha I noticed that I was surprised he did not tape it off or at least it looks like there’s paint on it

Wow, that looks real good man. You’ve been busy.

hey, I had a blast. It was short but sweet lots of good food. Lots of conversation hundreds of trucks. I got pretty much an Eye full yesterday and talked to a lot of people. it was still well worth a trip plus the rain out gave me a chance to visit the museum ..tomorrow. I’m gonna walk around Allentown fairgrounds check out the old park maybe buy some fresh fruit and head back to the airport. I did go back to the show and spend 2 1/2 hours or so wasn’t so much the rain by then it turned to sprinkle, but the ground was a sloppy mess. Got another nice sausage sandwich and bought some more goodies from watts tent and said hi to Barry. And Tom, I told them you had planned to go in there but got to rained out.

Best wishes fellas have a great time … bob

probably mentioned I’d drove three of them and my day I really liked them nice looking dash nice looking cab cool steering wheel and they were very loud and very bouncy. Not sure about the bouncy at 69 ha ha.

You could probably get more than that for the nose
