Wow your right John, the "Wolf Pack" looks like they have packed it in...



I had a great time a few years ago when we all did this, let me check the schedule and talk to "the boys" and see if we can put something together again.

Well at least I wasn't called out by name!

I will plan on attending, what else is there to do at this place? Stuff for a three year old? I could use a co-pilot!

Get Chris and Mike to come - I haven't had the chance to decapitate them lately. May be time for Matt or Shawn to meet Cheap Shot Chuck.

Hey Mike (MeDriver), no excuses, don't you want a shot at the title?
