Goin to St. Cloud
 
Plans are to leave early Thursday am and drive stright through. What is everyone seeing for diesel prices in the different states? Kansas is right around 1.34 missouri is some what cheaper, I filled up sat night for $1.19. Plans are to go through St. Louis and into Ill. then shot south. Hope to be in sometime Friday am. I think we are planning on picking up a boat in Pompoano Beach and then attend the races on Sat. and Sun. then head back. I'm pumped up and looking forward to the road trip.. Hope to see some board members there! I know I'll see Gordo for sure, picking him up after his shift and leavin town:cool: :D .

I can tell how excited you are. You remind me of our kids when they are anxious to do something! :D :D It's so cute! :)

Take care!

I am excited:cool: But I do wish that Cyndi could go along:( But there will be a next time. I'm sure Mike won't mind if we want to tag along to another race.

I hate having to wait to go on a trip:mad:

tanned fat looks better 04-02-2002 10:44 AM

chris.....we need to look at his schedule and plan one later....I have to work sat & mon w/ no chance of getting off.....It would be cool if he races in Galveston or Chorpus or maybe Biloxi.

MissAmy 04-02-2002 10:47 AM

Audacity ~ nope, I won't be there. Never been to a race before but we'd like to make it to one sometime. Especially to see Gordo race! :D Go get em Flash Gordon!

FunHome 04-02-2002 11:01 AM

Chris,
You and Gordo will have a Blast!! Just make sure Gordo doesn't get ahold of any "Piggy Puffs and Apple Juice" if he does you may have to get a new interior for your truck in the near future!! I would bring a Gas Mask just in case!! You notice his girlfriend isn't riding down with you guy's (she must know the power of a Fireman's GAS!!)
Have gordo take you to Lake X since your going to be so close!! I wish I would have stopped by on one of my trips to Florida!!
Have Fun and Be Carefull!!!
Wish I was going!! Take Tons of Pic.'s!!!:D

Gordo 04-02-2002 11:20 AM

LMAO !!!
 
I learned my lesson on the piggy pops. THAT was ugly!
But, if I remember, you wasn't having any problems "passing" either. Looked like a "Cheech & Chong" movie when we stopped and opened the doors.
I would like to go to Lake X. Cool stuff there.

audacity 04-02-2002 12:08 PM

yes there is!!!
