How ya'll is? Did ya miss me last month? Bet ya did! Life with a new job that required a ton of training and actually working, didn't leave a whole lot of time for much of anything else, luckily I have a very supportive wife and a lot of good friends to help me through it! Anywho, where to start..where to start?? Well. as you already know, Toppin It All Off 2K3 has come and gone and it was a rousing success! The overall quality of rides was up from previous years too....plus I drug my buddy's stretched Toyota station wagon (you can check out pics of it on my profile..) and it got tons os positive remarks...and it's not even done yet! As a lot of you know, TIAO brings out members of Explicit Concepts Florida, one in particular has spent his unfair share of time passed out in his customary spot, on my porch....that's twice in 3 years bro...let's shoot for 3 out of 4!!! Also, nothing is more fun than a 3 am puke session on the side of the freeway, hey, at least he held it long enough to make it too the rest stop! And it was a good thing, because Redneck Jeff really had to pee...that was funny too. He kept saying something about don't leave me.... The next night we went to the Stockyards in Fort Worth, since it's right down the road from me and the guys from Florida wanted to see a real cowboy bar. Well, we went walking up Exchange Street, that's the main drag in the Stockyards for all ya'll non=Fort Worth folks, and as we were crossing the street to go to this one bar, the people outside stopped talking and started staring. Now, if you have met Jimmy (a.k.a. Stretch Junior), you know why they were staring. He's a little over 6 feet tall, big ass Elvis porkchops, goatee and a mohawk....do I need to say anymore? Well, with the slackjawed welcome we received there, we went back the direction we came from and wound up shutting down the White Elephant. If you ever watched the TV show "Walker, Texas Ranger" then you have seen this bar. The few people that were in there were cool as hell to us and after they all left, about 11pm, we started playin pool and shuffleboard...only problem is we had no clue how to play shuffleboard so we made up our own rules.By now Stevie and I are shooting pool, Jimmy and Redneck are playing shuffleboard when out of the back fo the room we hear "I'M KING SHIT OF THE DIRT TABLE!!!" It never fails, you give Jimmy a few Texas beers and the oddest things come out of his mouth!

Ok, now let's move on to the next weekend...and Texas Heat Wave. The first thing you need to go to an out of town show is good roomies to split the bill with, and an incredibly crafty wife that finds the cheap rooms...that Ramada may not have been the best, but the a/c worked and so did the shower! Now, I know that I'm not entirely alone on this deal here. The first thing we did when we got to Austin and got our room, we headed out to the show grounds to check out the roll=in and see who all we could find. Some of the very first people we run across were Chas and our fearless Editor Garrick, and he had on his CN shirt..if you were there, you know the shirt...soory Chas.. Well, after hanging out for a bit, we decided it was time to head back to the hotel, get some grub and a shower and check out what the infamous 6th street had to offer. Here is where things start to get interesting. Since I have family that live in the greater Austin area, we got them to show us around. Having tour guides is the best, you get to see the cool stuff you wouldn't normally know to look for. Well, about 3 hours into our foray of clubbing, my other buddy Stephen ( I know, I know...I hang with to many Stephens..) was getting plastered because of the shirt he was wearing...the bartender saw that he was wearing a work-shirt from one of the other local clubs and started hooking him up. To make a long story short, by 3 am we were stopped on the access road alongside I-35 and he was horking up a lung. I'm not sure what it is about my friend's named Stephen, 3am and I-35, but I have the worst luck. One last thing, if you have trouble breathing, find Jokr and get some JOKR MIX...it'll clean ya right up..and it's good for cleaning clogged fuel injectors too! I believe I have dummied ya'll down enough for one month, had to make up for the last, since I missed it! Until next month, keep your wheels spinnin' and the beavers grinnin'..I'm owty Jeff Miller/EC/DFWYou keepin' it real, real nasty!mynuts_onyourchin@yahoo.com
