Yes folks, last week all of us showed up on Rick's doorstep(me literally) <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> to take in the good food,good times, and some of the bad jokes. We all showed up in disguise to protect our identity. The costumes were so crazy, as it's close to Halloween, you could almost say they were as scary as a bunch of ugly dogs. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> We came well prepared too, with our doggie "bags". <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Wayne

Yes, Pedro, Ron Flory and I searched and searched for "Ol Rick", me just to get a free invite to his party. We finally found him "hiding" inside the Coker Tire Trailer, so as to get out of work, I'd venture a guess. Yes, I know, he tells all you guys how hard he works at these big Hershey shows, but we've got the goods on him. Just check out this picture as he protests about having to go back to work. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />Wayne

I'm in the process of posting all of the pictures I took at Hershey on Wednesday of last week. They will all be on the "Gallery" under the Hershey 2003 site. Please make comments or corrections on the gallery site. I'll make corrections, if I get the names wrong, just let me know. Here's one more of Bruce Wheeler and a fellow, or should I say notorious fellow from out west way, Cheyenne as a matter of fact. Wayne

I apologize for not getting pictures of everyone at Rick's party. Also in attendance were; Mrs Janet Ricketts and her husband, John, Ron and Sally Barnett, Jim Cook and his wife, and I'm missing a lady?? Sorry! Sal Grenci and his cousin Sal A. Grenci were there; David Divine of the Greensboro, N.C. area; Ron Flory, Doug Walters and more that I can't remember or did not get to meet. Thanks for the get together Rick. Wayne

Any of you guys that find a mistake in the gallery on my part, please let me know so I can correct it. Also, please fill free to make comments on the Picture Gallery as it points out things that some of us don't notice about a picture. Like Howard's Krispy Kreme Picture. I never raised my head up to see it. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Wayne

Howard, I haven't said a word about this, but since you opened the door. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> That hat you were wearing? Now, I saw pictures of your home, the furnituring, the nice antiques,and the rugs. Now, I don't remember seeing a stuffed animal head, a bear rug, or any kind of other "wild" animal that should go along with a fellow that wears a hat like "that"! <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Does that hat signify some else totally different? I understand it's a Hershey favorite, by the way. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> Wayne

Rcirilli, I wouldn't even know one if I saw it. I bagged my first white tail deer for the season last week though. Destoyed my $500.00 bumper, but then it do him any good either. The trailer tires went bump-a-dee bump. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Wayne

Wayne, you might need to do like a guy my dad told me about. Built a "grille guard for his rig using 3" boiler pipe with about 1'-2' between it and the grille. This guy ran rt.15 from the NY/PA state line to Williamsport/Sunbury at night back when 15 was just two lane. He'd pull in sometimes with 4 or 5 deer attached to that rack. Bag 'em and keep on truckin'. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Come on now Dave. No self respecting Peterbilt would have that Canadian Moose Cradle(sorry about that you fellows up north) bolted on their bumper. You know what they say, "If you drive the Class, you better have the Cash!" <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Wayne

Wayne ~ What you need is one of those contraptions like they mount on the front end of those "road trains" they run in the outback in Australia. They use them to deflect 'roos from coming through the grille, radiator and windshield.

I had a couple of those "road trains" come at me near Alice Springs doing about 90, and it like to scared me to death. Your Peterbilt is a VW bus compared to those rigs.
