First thing to go in was the heart of the beast. This officialy brings the German8Tor project to a close. I could have used about 2 more inches of lift

Are there casters on that box? Do I need to bring any planks to transfer the box?

http://cityguide.aol.com/kansascity/entertainment/venue.adp?sbid=111953338 is not a chain. It is located at 600 Southwest Blvd. It is on the Kansas side, less than 1 mile off I-35.

Just got home. We need a kissing the ground smile. We raced storms all the way untill Muskogee OK. VERRY strong winds and crap blowing all over It was a successfull transfer of the ETU. It went so quick the photographers didnt get any shots Rosedale BBQ is now a support for the freeway at least thats what was at the address in the review

Glad to see you made it home. We traveled through golf ball sized hail. High winds, rain, and snow as we hit MN. The Mothership preformed flawlessly. It was a successful Alien Rescue. We couldn't fine the BBQ place John.

Great to see you again Larry, and nice to meet Barb. Sandy and I enjoyed the evening.

Just a side note for the uninformed. The transfer took place in a classified underground location. (Blocks teleconectic waves) All those straps were not to hold the box or tarp. That is what it takes to contain the heart of an ALIEN You see the blue color has a calming effect but also blocks the thought waves. Im sorry but there must have been a small hole in the protective cover and it chaneled the weather paterns to try to slow you down untill it could get help.

This stuff is real you know

Vegas,

My old Stomping grounds too!

from the looks of the pics, you guys met at Crown Center ???, Looks like the underground parking to me, but I could be wrong.

As for Rosedale, good call, but "Hi may I hep you?" is my place. I am sure you know what I'm talking about.

I don't like Rosedale, because the ribs are usaully burned or Burnt.

Back in the day, when the Plaza was the happenin place to go, me and my 914 used to run down 5.0 Mustangs and IROC Z's. Those boys never knew what hit em.

Man you are good But what level Westen Crown Center to be exact. We ended up eating at the Herford House just up the street at 20th and Main MMMM prime rib.

I am glad the exchange went smoothly.
Sorry about the dead-end lead to the BBQ joint.

Posted by: spare time toys Mar 13 2006, 07:01 PM

No problem. If you get back that way try that Herford House place Place was packed, parking was tight Food was good. Company was great
