Default Memories...(pic heavy)

I was poking thru my photobucket account and came across some older and recent pics that brought up some fond memories!!

Thought i would share a few stories. Looking out the window, it definitely feels like one of those days!!

Where has the year gone? Coming up on a year with Bandit, looking back at the day i brought the Pony home.

This is my friend Craig sitting in the middle of Westbound I-70 about 40min outside Indy.
We were travelling home from Motherroad Festival in Springfield, when we ran into traffic. Accident had both east & west bound I-70 closed for 4 hours. So while we sat there, we took advantage of an open freeway =)

All that and it's been just a little over a year.

It's almost a year to the day since I first met Alan, Deb, Steve, Rhonda, Kevin and the rest of the crew.

Larry, you have to join the mod game. I think you are the only guy I know with a stock Mustang. Dr. Jason is taking appointments. He may be able to spend some time with you and your wallet on Saturday............
