Special thanks!!!

I know I speak for all who attended the 2019 Garagemahal Truck Show as well as all who could not, in expressing thanks to Gary and his lovely wife, Janey, for all they do.

Thank you, Gary and Janey!

To put this in perspective [what they do], this was my 6th time to visit Skiatook, OK. Every time, they have opened their home to all who attend as well as family members of those attending. Friday night, all who wanted were treated to absolutely wonderful barbeque from Mac's. This included all the "fixings" and drinks. Janey had prepared her delicious brownies, chocolate chip cookies, white chocolate and macadamia nut cookies as well as a special recipe coffee cake. Ummmmm!

Oh, yea... all were treated to specialty coffees at any time of the day or night!

The show expenses and trophies are covered by the Lewis family. The show site and planning with advertisements are also the work of Gary.

Saturday, after the show, Gary and Janey treated a number of us to lunch at the local favorite, Ron's Burgers. The specialty is large cheeseburgers with mustard, fried onions and pickles, covered [literally] with thick, rich homemade chili. This is accompanied with thick sliced French fries. By the way, the burger is served with a knife and fork and you certainly need these!

For those who have not realized this, the forum and website would not exist if not subsidized by Gary's family. We owe a lot to their generosity.

Thanks, again!

Please, everybody, let Gary know you appreciate his efforts and generosity!

Thanks, guys.  It is a labor of love, and some times there's more labor than others.  But, it is well worth it.

As for Janey, I out-punted my coverage, didn't I?    She cooked, cleaned, and prepared for several days before the show, and then did the behind-the-scenes work to let me "talk trucks" to y'all Friday and Saturday nights.

As for the food, do you see why I'm gaining weight?  Her cooking is soooo good and my activity level isn't what it used to be, so....  This morning we finished the egg casserole and then had the last two pieces of that coffee cake.

Campbell (?) is so pretty!  I really liked having her here.  Please tell her hello for me.

And it was so good to meet many of you that I've talked with on-line but hadn't met.  I hope next year and the years after will bring more and more of you this way.
