We met at a barbecue restaurant in Columbia, parked our trucks in a corner of the lot, and spent the next two hours shooting the shit. It was friendly, informal, and fun (I was Scoutless at the time), and I thought it might be fun to gather the IH guys I&#8217;ve met in the area for the same kind of day.<\/p>\n<p>I sent out a big email to everyone I could think of, and within two weeks&#8217; time I&#8217;ve got fifteen people committed with five trucks (many are immobile due to ongoing restoration efforts) and possibly more. The cool thing is that there are people I&#8217;ve met through the weblog and parts gathering who don&#8217;t know or haven&#8217;t met the other guys, so it&#8217;ll be good to get everyone together in one place.
