We had just spent two days with Virgil and Jo Allmond, aka "Makin Smoke" and laughed & laughed while we shared stories. We were able to get a couple of things done on Virg's truck, "Overkill" Lots of fun. It was great to be able to do this. Life is good & God has blessed us greatly.

We'll have to set something up so that one of these times we CAN all be next to one another. Just think, "Overkill", "The Mule" & "BigBit" all in the same place, same time. Do you think the wives could hande it? We'd be laughig a lot, for sure.

Take care brother and enjoy the HDT Rally.

RockheadTommie, do you ever wonder why you are not at these meetups?
Larry, we really missed you and Billie and we also talked a lot about missing Miss Donna. We did have a great time and speaking personally, I only told a few lies.

NO NO NO!!! In the HDT world we have a much easier name for your truck.

LGT "Little Girlie Truck" Fits all pickups no matter what color.

Who would believe that 6 weeks after placing the order....my LGT would be here.

Was told it would be in the week of the 25th, which seemed to early. As we had our present truck sitting on the 'sell lot' at NAs Jax all week....I was driving the DW to work and right after we turned onto the highway outside out subdivision....a auto carrier passed by with a 'truck that looked like mine' on it. As my dealer was just south of us....assumed it was my truck ?!?!?!

Dropped the DW off, picked up my truck and made a trip to the dealer....well it's here.




Have the Reese hitch sitting in the garage...and will make plans this week to have a Line X for the bed and get the Roll N Lock plus other items installed next week.

Will post another picture when it's put together.

Oh my work, what a beauty! I am so envious! Looky hear.....I will bring my "newer" Journey rig and we can hook up on your new LGT and take off to a park and impress the hell out of everyone!!!! We can leave my ol' Tug and your ol' Beast at home where they belong.

And while we are dreamin', I could get a case of OP for HH and that would really impress our new-found trailer park friends!!!

Virg,

You guys in the "Pulling World" sure do have some nice pullers. Absolutely beautiful! My Dakota hid under the Motorhome when I showed it pics of your beautiful trucks. Lets take the trucks over to Wendy's and go thru the drive thru and have a reunion
