I'd heard that an acceptable plural alternate is "you's all", but haven't had it confirmed.

Welcome back. How's the drivin' in the new hood?

Relocated up in the Princeton/Farmersville area. Am retired so grandchildren the big item for sure. Have been working on the house and property so "big red " has been garaged and suffering from neglect. Second time I've lived in Tx. in the last 10 years. Other time at Lake
Cyprus Springs. Good to be back and get some good catfish and barbecue.

Jimbo, You need to come to a gathering every Saturday morning in McKinney at 8:30 AM at the La Madelliene restaurant at Eldorado Parkway and US 75. It's a loose group of older car nuts who show up every Saturday with Vettes, Mustangs, hot rods of all kinds, old classics like LaSalles, Lincolns, Auburns, and Thunderbirds. We've even got a few limey-lovers who bring out their proper Healey and MG sport cars. We've been given the name "Morning Maniacs". Good group of tire kickers, liars and especially car lovers. You can check out more by going to www.morningmaniacs.com. It's a family affair with wives, kids and did I mention Vettes. Pat Lobb of the Toyota dealership in McKinney is known to show up with either his restored 409 62 BelAir or awesome 351 black Pantera. I think you would enjoy the folks, food and did I mention the Vettes? See ya some Saturday!!!!
