    Its gunna be hot?????????? Man what a relief. Someone told me there was going to be a huge snow (thats white stuff that falls out of the sky for all you southern guys,) storm in MO the week of the drags....:eek: Here I waisted all that time trying to figuring out a way to hang the snow plow on the front of the coupe and just wasn't getting the job done. Now I can just change the oil and load up the trunk with a good cooler with cold stuff inside and not wonder how I was going to keep warm. :p :D

    Ok back to reality, its August, its suppose to be hot. The hotel has air conditioning, if (when?) we need some. Gene

    101, shit! I was out putting the trans back in my truck at 114!!

    That was the official temp at the airport. I was out in the driveway, no shade!

    101 is going to be like a cool spell. Looking forward to it.

    This weather link is driving me CRAZY!!!!! I go to it about 12 time a day and it's a DIFFERENT forecast almost every time. I guess I should just stop looking at it cause I'm going no matter what the weather.

    Here in Mid Missouri it's dryer than a popcorn fart. The only moisture we have is what runs down your face.
