First of 3 that had Big Jacks leading westbound this day. This is gonna be a good day, 'tater!

Surprise! look what's at North yard! Another 4 rolls of K25 gone....

Mother to slug 123. Ohhhhhhh I got so tired of these things around north and south Texas during those days. They were like flies, always wanting to swat them away...those were the days :-)
