Val,

I'm definately in! (and my train addicted little boys)

PS - Doc Evil will probably point out (so I'll beat him to the punch) that I bought a Porsche last week and could have bought a Corvette. So I'll ask for forgiveness in advance...

Lee, (the diet coke of evil...)

I rode that train with Val and Chad and Lee one Saturday afternoon several years ago and it was fun. That was just before the locomotive blew a piston and had to be rebuilt. Maybe Val was over-revin' it!

Lee, for a Ford (Cobra) and Porsche guy, you sure do hang around a lot with Corvette folks. Why don't you just go ahead and admit it. You'd really rather have a Corvette! :

I'll be in Texas from 8 July to mid August. Anytime before/after that and I'll do my best to bring the whole family. Mini Me would like it I'm sure.

Dang it... oh well, I guess this means it isn't happening. Well, my boys will still go, just sans the Vette contingent.
