Team 898: I would like to bring an up-to-date spread sheet with me on the 22nd so that we can all review. Please get me a list of your expenses so that I can input and then email. BTW, any luck with tire and title?

Would love to, but the family truck needs brakes on all corners and shocks on the rear. While an 18 year old should be able to do it all, some guidance may be required so I plan to stay home this weekend and take some local rides. Will miss the greatest part of the build.

They have one hundred years on them and they are still just as bad as day one. Try that with any stinkin' rubber tire.
