January Meeting Info

[LoneStar]

haha good one! I thought for a split second on taking that following Monday off to recover!!!

I should be there :)

[Texreefer]

That's right boys and girls, this is not the foam your parents warned you about, although, you don't want to touch this stuff either <_< ...i will be setting up a Chili's buffet so if there is a snack you like from chilis let me know and it will be done ;) also a good portion of the Demo will be in the garage so check the weather and dress appropriately. See you all there

[BIGBIRD123]

I'll be there.

Oh, and RIBS, RIBS, RIBS...LOL!

Steve

[FireWater]
