Oops. Continuation now. The vanagon is always ready to go. Been trying to get the new man cave finished but also trying to get a new project on the road (51 Chevy 3100 truck). I should have heeded Clark Jr.s advice and not started a vehicle restoration before the shop (aka Man Cave) finished. We both are still working for TDCJ and life is good. We do miss seeing everyone but sometimes life gets in the way. Mark and Emily. -----Original Message----- From: M.

What allows the barrier of "ulterior motive" to be broken down and allow acceptance from others for reaching out? For me, all I know is it is important to reach out. How others interpret it is irrelevant and up to them. This causes trouble and misundstanding at times. Fortunately not the time me, Dan and Mark fell outta our chairs. Remember that, Rob? The 1st aircoolerpalooza. I paid you a Shiner for the laugh. ;) I am thankful for those on this list that accepted me and Cindy. The first campout: Dan & Denis for banging on the door. If only I knew.... And Trey for cozying up to a vanagon. Chuck and Sue for not letting us quit...and being there for everything in between. G.I. José and Slacks and Bodean and Sonya and Julie and our first TX Classic camping in the middle of AAC, DAC & San Antonio Oil Drippers. Houston Christmas parties and Bulligras. Can you here me now, Paul? #67. CCAC forgiving my amnesia. And Matt for showing off his vanagon the first day of ownership while passing through Austin. And just everyone for your patience and tolerance. Love you, man. Now gimme a fr*cking hug, won't 'cha?. So, is that a "fricking" hug or a "fracking" hug? Only Ronnie knows. ;)
