Last night we had a cookout as a last get together for some friends that are moving to Indiana. I managed to make an awesome marinade for steak tips, bought some really good potato salad and WS grew some nicely sweet corn. Added to the mix was a fresh tomato and basil salad (provided by Heather) and some died-and-gone-to-heaven chocolate chip cookies (from Karen). Jimmy and his girl friend provided heathy appetites (as they were ordered to do).
Harry and Heather will be moving out of state by the end of this month - it should be a good change for them so we are both happy for them and sad they are leaving. WS and Jimmy will most likely help drive the two U-hauls and dump truck out for them. The plan is to trailer their bikes behind one of the vehicles so they can have a nice ride back. Although not quite like the two week trip to Sturgis, it will give them a short and enjoyable break.
Me - I'll hold down the fort and enjoy the break myself!
It is for sure that your friends will be missed; but, I am sure that they enjoyed such a scrumptuous send-off. BTW: Not everyone takes a dump truck with them, when they move. I would not let them take it. It is surely something that would be handy to have available.

Cop Car - The dump truck is a 1 ton truck with a dump body. WS helped build the "dump" part of the body. We have used it many times in the last couple of years. I'd tell them to leave it, but it's not worth the $8k they want for it.
Bod - glad you enjoyed the ride. Quite fun isn't it?
