yea Tom there are special memories for each one, The First one in Iowa was waiting for everyone to show up and hoping everyone ha d a good time.
Second one was the trip out and back with Matt and his son Nick, Greg Masters, my brother Don, and my wife and I. We had almost as much fun on the trip as we did there.
Third one was meeting Alan and Lynn and Ken and us all making the trip from hell to KC. It is a 4 hr trip at most and took us 9 hrs I think.
Fourth one was Altoona and me working on the local car show and Ss at the same time, it all worked out because off all the work my wife did.
There are great times we had at each and every one of them. Memories we will never forget.

Listening to icemans stories
Karaoke
Valve cover racing with a working valve cover
Seeing the Hindenburg crash
Stoplight drag race beer save
Seeing a human beer fountain
Being called a cheeky bugger
Discovering gatoraid
Waking up to see what the truck fairy did
Getting to vision heaven ,thru the use of an electric he-man tester
Pulling home a wrecker with santa , an ozzy & rednek
Hearing about a full moon
Training Colleen with a train whistle
Enjoying every single person I've met

Can't really pick just one.
Meeting everyone at Altoona at my first SS.
Second shift
Seeing a full moon, not in the sky.
Finding out that the trucks were having a reunion and we humans were allowed to participate.
So many more.

Yes yes. Yes
I kinda thought where that was going
I don't think he was drunk though....
He would have had to sober up a little to be drunk

Yes Alan that was the trip. I ended up selling that T-bird to a friend of mine. Can't believe it's been that long ago since I've been to SS.

Slickstock 1. Reaching over and wiping the driver's side windshield so Dane could see in the worst rainstorm I have ever been in. He had just finished truck and had not installed defrost vent hoses. All I had was a greasy napkin from the steakhouse to wipe the windshield off.
