Ok, Back at home!! What a great Expo, Thanks goesto Lawrence and the whole On Time Media Crew!!
In my short time in this industry, i have had the pleasure to meet alot of great friendly and helping people. The Expo while there for more then just meeting old friends and meeting new poeple, it certainly does give us that opportunity, and it was a great to do just that!!
I am not going to try and name names, but I certainly appreciated everyone from old friends to newbies, to those that said they read my post for yrd and whated to meet and the rest that stopped into the Load 1 booth to say hi (and no one kicked me in the shin!!) it was all good.
Then the BBQ! Thanks to Maniac and Sindy and their crew!!! Great job...
But, i will say, it was great to hang all weekend with the large showing of those from Load 1 !! From putting the booth together and tearing it down, to working the booth and enjoy the evening "festivites", it was great to work and play with all of you!!
Pretty sure the Cargo Max will be just another truck next yr and not in the Load 1 booth, but I will be making every effort to be there!!
Again, thanks to everyome involved for a great time at a great event for our industry!!

My favorite Expo moment: the tiny woman signing the top of Susie's 'Tribute to American Vets' truck. Despite having had surgery recently, the woman climbed to the top to add her name, rank, and unit - because a full Colonel outranks every one else, lol. [Except a General - Susie hasn't found one yet.]
She is now an expediter, and we're glad to have her!
My second favorite moment was one I missed: when Susie won the Espar.

Truck needs a bath.
Really? You think the dozens of signatures of American veterans should be scrubbed off?
Cause I think it's one of the best looking trucks on the road, myself.
Can't believe I didn't see you or Terry O - but I did get to hug Leo, which always makes me smile.
I saw Jammin Jim's request to meet at the EO booth a little too late [this afternoon, lol], we should plan it in advance next year, with a couple 'meeting' times to catch more people.

Thanks for everyone that took the time to keep me entertained.
a spacial thanks to Dennis for helping with the shower thing.
i met SO many new faces and had a great time all around.
i even drove a cube van to the Wally world & back.
the hard part was to leave without buying another truck, that was a tough one.
best moment of the show was the first PJ walk, and being introduced to Homer Hogg.
C'Yah in a year or so.

First Expo I've been to since '04, and first one for my wife. All I can say is "what a blast!" The other one I went to was no comparison at all. Thanks to everyone who participated, sponsored, presented, represented, and attended for making the Expo such a wonderful couple of days.
I've "talked about" attending others along the way, now I'm going to be serious in the future about trying to make it happen if at all possible.

LOL, Susie, you are on the top of top of te "good people" list and your truck is on the "top of the best statue to your military people" in any fashion...And by the number of people that have put their name on it , id be willing to bet, that is a feeling among all of them..
Notice the "crikets" since the poster of that comment.....
And hey, as to Moose's "shower", TJP and Brian was there too!!!!
That truck was very CLEAN. You don't wash off all the names that served. John Elliott is your name on that truck?

This was our 9th Expo and this was the best one yet! From the time we got there on Thursday till we left early Sunday morning we had a blast....
No way I could name all of the awesome people we met and the great workshops we attended.
I agree with Moose getting to meet Homer Hogg and attend his workshop was really cool. He is just as awesome in person as he is on the radio for Ta-Petro.
I do not know how the Expo can keep getting better but somehow Lawrence and Debbie keep pulling it off! Now we are counting down the days till Expedite Expo 2013.
