newsgroup -- popped in unexpectedly to share dinner with us!)

Nice to meet you Jay... Nice restaurant... Good beer... All in all, a really
nice evening... Up to the point where I caught them trying to steal my
truck... Is this a scam that they try to run on all the people with out of
state plates on their vehicles?

Same here!

Nah -- only when I need some cash. (When we turn in guys with out of
state plates, we get to split the fine with the tow truck driver!)

Hey, if you're free on any Wed/Thu, give me a buzz. That's our
"weekend", and we can stay out later than 8:30! :-)

Well, it's a nice little scam they got there... If they hadn't given it back
to me at that time, the incident would have escalated... I was rather ****ed
at that point... Back in Texas, they've been shot for that type of crap and
it was perfectly legal...

Can't make any plans right now... I'll have to wait and see how this next
week goes...

I'm off to the CID airport to arrange a flight to New Orleans in a couple of
weeks... I'll be headed down to the gun range near Swisher afterwards... I
need to go blow up some things to relieve some stress... You were wondering
where it was last night... Here's the directions...

Take I-380 to exit 10... Head west on that road (CR F12 / 120th St, NW)
until you get to the stop sign (approx 0.4 miles)... There is a gas station
on your left... Take a left there and head south on IA-965 approximately 2.4
miles until you get to Cou Falls Rd... If you cross the Iowa River, you've
gone too far... Take a right on Cou Falls Road... After about 0.25 miles,
the you will come to a "Y" in the road... Stay to the left... You will cross
a small bridge and the road will become a dirt road... After about a mile,
you'll see some large gashes cut into the side of a hill on your right...
The first one appears to be for handguns and smaller caliber rifles... The
latter one with the concrete conduit shooting positions appears to be for
higher powered rifles... Another mile or two down the road will get you to
an area on your left where people shoot clays / skeet...
