I think hes out in your neck of the woods and going to the PNW get together.
I am very excited! Each week I am commuting about 300 miles one way between base cities, and my 19-22 mpg truck is killing me, despite being a tad uncomfortable.
Maybe I`ll see him in July at the GTG in Washington. probably a 800 mile drive to that one.

19-22 mpg was great when gas was 30¢ a gallon.

those front seats look new, looks like you did good for $450.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
