Maybe after that shell get it? If she don't then she probably never will.
maybe if her pic gets in CTT she will want her own slick LOL
Help...I can't find a copy of this magazine anywhere here in Riverside, CA. Can anyone pick me up a copy and I will pay them for it along with postage and their time?????
Mark, I get asked all kinds of questions every Christmas by little kids, and sometimes they come up with some doozees.
So......what DID you tell them about drinking beer with Santa Claus?
That pic of You, Chris, Alan and Garbz turned out good, but I wasn't in it,
just in close proximity on the page, right. So you say, "Look kids, Santa Claus was there, and we drank beer together!" One can only stand so much milk and cookies 'til they just want a friggin' beer or 2 or 10 once in a while! And if he can do that with good friends at SS, couldn't ask for a better time than that! Lookin' forward to next year! TR
Actually Gary, they didn't push the issue much. They just thought it was pretty cool. It helps to keep the magic alive. My oldest boy got more excited when I showed him Merle's truck and told him Daddy got to ride in that
Know what ya mean, Mark. I have the most fun with the little ones up to about 6 or 7 years old. Somewhere after that they start to get wise to it. My son was like yours when he was little, anything at all that was loud and looked cool he was into it. Still a giant gearhead to this day. He'll be 23 in October. Have a blast with them while they are little, cause they don't stay that way long. Gary
I bought the last copy on the shelf at B&N yesterday. If there is someone who was at KC who can't find a copy I will sell you this one after I read through it.
Found mine at Hastings in Spokane Washington, next door to harbor freight, great article and pictures. Very good mag too I suppose I will subscribe now. John and staff do a great job with this mag, lots of interesting how to articles. I think it may very well turn out to be a "favorite" mag to read. I am an information junkie and can read one of these mags cover to cover in about 3 hours. Then comes the fun of re-reading it over and over until I pretty well have it memorized.
Keep up the good work John.
