Unfortunately I'll be out of town that weekend so I'm going to miss it, but I'll keep an eye out for you on the road.

You guys on the coast have all the cool stuff...we get to dig up a 1957 Plymouth Belevedere that was buried 50 years ago....on June 15th....100th Anniversay of Oklahoma...where the wind comes whipping down the plain....

You say that until you leave Oklahoma.  I grew up in Okarche Oklahoma, Population 1100 and I miss the hell out of it.

I'm sure you can find enough guys in Tulsa to start a Ton-Up chapter.

Oh, Oklahoma, I love it, like 320 dats a year above 60F...they call it green country...I love trees, and the water, you can actually drink it!
I left a few times, keep coming back.
