Tom,
We are out of those cookies you dropped by a few months ago. Fell free to bring a load with you if you have some. Like everyone else has said, thanks for your time and help. See you all in a few weeks.

Hey Tony,
Nice seeing you again at Clover Creek and thanks for all your help there.

Not sure I'll have cookies in hand this time but I'm sure I can whip something up! LOL! What happened with that "Biggest Loser" thing you guys were doing anyway?

Tom

Met Tom yesterday afternoon and loaded the last plane. He drove right at 800 miles yesterday and stopped about 60 miles short of Texas last night to rest.

He is at this time going through Texarkana, GPS says he has 1100 miles left to go.

He is going to try to make it to Elpaso before he stops again for the evening.

Tom said to tell everyone that the planes and cargo are riding like lil babies

Will update again later.

I wish I would have had my camera out yesterday but it was all packed up, could have gotten some pics of him setting acros the road from Ky Speedway.

I dont think Tom has a camera with him, will check and see.
