Saw that about a hundred of your buddies (and maybe you?) are in town over at the Ramada inn. Never saw so many VA state patrol cars in one parking lot before! I guess you guys are keeping the peace at the shipyard...

I had a 97 F-150 before this one, same setup, I loved it but needed more power and liked the idea of 4 doors. The truck before that was a 79 Bronco restored.

Hawkpilot,
>>>>You're right about keeping the peace, hopefully that things gonna be settled before long. Sorry, I wasn't there this time. I did spend a fun filled two weeks up there the first of April working twelve hour days down at the riverfront(for fifteen days straight) and had splendid accomodations at the Ramada Inn. Rauol said that we have really helped out on his gas mileage since this thing has been going on.
