They are part of our new blond ambition team philosophy.

The first night in San Marcos, our truck got a busted window.  Low and behold the people working in the hotel office saw nothing out their window that looked directly at our truck under a light.  The little man is the manager.  We made him sweep up the glass.  Moral of the story; don't stay in the Super 8 in San Marcos, TX.

.

Hill Country treated us well after the broken window.  Here is the team that went  deep into the heart of Texas for the first weekend out.

The team went to the "Great White North" for a weekend at the Talk of the Tundra and pulled down their first win of the season.  Everybody that went made it to an out-round.

While Chaz read a book in the back, Cory, Kevin, Neal, and Tricia (you can see her arm) had a dance party in the van.  It was a long trip home from Fargo/Moorhead.
