Ron,

You betcha! I'm packing at least three different ones to wear, five if I can find kinda clean ones! One for the morning, one for the afternoon each day, gotta rub it in!

As of now, there are over 100 vehicles registered with 10 or 11 of the trucks 5 ton or larger.

Well got everything loaded and strapped down, took pictures of the load, hooked up to tow vehicle and went for a test ride. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Nelly even with fresh trailer brake job got pushed through intersection. Back to the AO for de load/ repack, removed 4 of the seatkits, 2 field surgical sinks and a field surgical table and now trailer pulls and stops like a dream. Glad we tried today before leaving in the morning. Pictures are the before.

BTW M923driver now no kitchen sink!

We are leaving Liberty Hill (sub-suburban Austin) Texas about 0700 Wednesday. Should be in Huntsville around 2200 hours. Looking forward to meeting everyone. I'll be wearing a "Lone Star MVPA" T-shirt.

Are you guys wearing your SS t shirts at this MVPA event ?????????

I'll be wearing my 2011 GA Rally shirt tomorrow and my 2011 LA Rally shirt on Thur.

I have one Med. GA rally shirt left that I'll sell for 10 bucks.

Fri and Sat I'll be wearing the Green "STAFF" shirts that some of the other Dixie Divison members will be wearing.

One of the office girls called yesterday to check on them "nice CAMO shirts" and the girl who does them was out sick...and the shirts were not done!!

Hopefully she will be back today and get them ready by tomorrow.

If not, I guess we can all wear red tutus and our Viking helmets so folks can identify us.

Suppose to be in the triple digit temps - I am wearing something more more airy and comfortable with the apron on top

Remember, the entire show is INSIDE, ain't gonna be 100 inside the center unless something breaks.

The Dixie Divison Convoy from Mount Olive went off flawlessly this morning.

With the assistance of local law enforcement the convoy was escorted right into the Von Braun Civic Center.

There was a flurry of getting vehicles positioned and vendors to their places.

There were at least two TV crews filming the convoy and I did an interview with TV 48 and the Huntville times.

There will be more media coverage as the week progresses and hopefully the publicity will bring in a big crowd on Saturday when the event is open to the public.

Here are a few pics that I shot.

Hummmm.......we should be able to sneak you in but call me tomorrow (my number is in one of my classified ads) and I'll make sure.

That info may be posted on the MVPA website but I didn't read it either.
