Sweet. Hope the weather holds. Raining like hell in DSM.

Now you boys put your shirts back on and quit scaring off the townsfolk. Remember the newspaper will be there. Surely with a camera. Make us proud.


Edit: And to clarify, that's "Walking Dude" (I look a lot like Tom Cruise) LOL

I'll be at the swimming pool with 12, 10 year old gilrs tomorrow for my daughter's B-Day then all to my house for a sleepover.

You guys suck

How are you pulling an internet connection?
 
Man 'oh man do I wish I was there. Next summer my wife and I intend on attending a get together.
The fish, brisket and moink balls look great; but can we refrain from saying Steve's rump sure looks tastey......(next thing ya know the guy will switch from belly to rump shots) Yikes !!!
