A little lady whoops I mean a little birdie let me in on this yesterday. I told her I already had a sneaking suspicion about this. She told me to call her after a work meeting yesterday. My boss sure wanted to know why she wanted me to call her. I’m excited about this. Joe gonna get some real culture shock this weekend. The little lady can introduce him to the town and I’ll introduce him to the country. |

Steve I sent a pic of him to her at the very beginning. It was a pic of Joe just as he walked out of the locker room right after their first super bowl win. I should have found a different pic, maybe one with his shirt on but it’s all I could find at the time. She seemed to like that shirtless pic anyway. T-Bone get on n the road buddy. I’m ready to talk mill and eat some good southern cooking for sure. |

We got lots of good BBQ (and Water), in Kansas City Joe. That snow machine will be blowin at you all the way as you head south on I-29 tryin to get away Ole Shenagin Shameless! Probably go right thru KC heading to Springfield and Arkansas Ozarks are pretty in the April timeframe with the Dogwoods and Redbuds bloomin, turkeys a gobblin. I'm in KC but our farm is about an hour and half north of Springfield. My D17 came out of Springfield. And last weekend in April, I'm going to zip right past ole Thad and go camp out and canoe in the Buffalo River country! Certainly going to be chasing down this thread daily to keep up with the budding romance! ------------- D17 Series 1 Allis B- 1939 Allis B- 1945 |

Joe, could it be Dustin(DustinMo) on the forum? He's over that way in Auxvasse, Mo. And if you left Arkansas and high tailed it to Nebraska, you likely missed a stop in to see the best AC "parts store" over in Butler and ran by the Austin boys. You may have seen their sign from the highway. And of course you were running so hard from those Arkansas ladies, you missed the BBQ in the Country when you flew through KC. ------------- D17 Series 1 Allis B- 1939 Allis B- 1945 |
