Look closer. I was only a leg till i was 17. Knees in the breeze baby. I was with the jumpin junkies (82nd) for 6 years....Most phisically fit alcoholics in the world.

I have driven down the strip in Branson in my M151. I bet the parade moves faster than the normal tourist season traffic.

Not really. Its so hilly that the people walking trying to get up the repetative hills makes those of us in wheeled vehicles use brakes regulerly.

No sir not at all. Better have good brakes too. The down slope is murder. I saw one year a guy in a model a or t or some thing like that resting his bumper on the guy in fronts rear bumper.

Matt, you look real familiar. Considering I haven,t been to Missouri since probably before you were born I was wondering if you spent any time in NJ? Maybe Aberdeen shows?
