wow for your help and service.  Was it you that said you were doing it for free?  Keep your head down and in times of trouble just keep driving.  :aok

You should've picked up Skuzzy first, then instead of water - loaded up on 100,000 Gallons of Blue Bell in Brenham instead of the water. Then you could've just gone barrelling through like Mad Max with MP0 MP1, MP2, MP3, MP4, MP5, MP6, MP7 and MP8 supporting the rear....


Sure between the Blue Bell, the MP's and the moderating skills....
you guys could've had that situation sorted out in few hours.





Seriously though, for the gauntlet run, and to everyone else thats helping out.

Thank you man!
